SootSound is a music player system for MSX computers with MoonSound or other compatible OPL4 sound cartridges. Creating and replaying music with the system requires the following components
* An XM-to-LTM module converter program (part of this Sourceforge project)
* An LTM replayer routine for MSX and MoonSound (part of this Sourceforge project)
* An XM music tracker such as MilkyTracker, running on PC/Windows, Linux or Mac. (NOT part of this Sourceforge project)
* The MoonSound ROM instrument package (0000_all_instruments.zip) which contains an XI instrument set made from the Yamaha YRW-801's sounds and a GeneralMIDI patch set found from a Linux sound driver (NOT part of this Sourceforge project)
The XM-to-LTM converter and LTM replayer program are part of this Sourceforge project.
