The adlib format is a specific format of the soundchip adlib (soundchip).

Tools

---

- Adlib Tracker II (Windows, DOS) (*.a2m)
- AMusic v1.12 (*.amd)
- Reality Adlib Tracker (Windows, DOS) (*.rad)
- Faust Music Creator (DOS) (*.fmc)
- Scream Tracker 3 (DOS) (*.s3m)
- Schism Tracker (Windows, Linux, OS X, BSD) (*.s3m)
- OpenMPT (Windows) (*.s3m, *.mptm)


Scream Tracker 3 modules (*.s3m) are ordinarily sample-based, but the format also supports the AdLib soundcard. Modules that use AdLib instruments exclusively are fair game for submission. The same goes for MPT modules (*.mptm).

Schism Tracker: To create an AdLib instrument go to the samples list and press Alt-Z. The documentation for Schism Tracker's AdLib instrument creation is here: https://github.com/schismtracker/schismtracker/blob/master/helptext/adlib-sample

The entry must be created using the adlib soundcard (emulation). With regards to the adlib hacks added in OpenMPT, some members may vote down entries that use more than 18 channels, as neither the YM3812 (OPL2) nor the YMF262 (OPL3) support this feature, so it wouldn't be right to call it "chipist" if it's using features not supported by the actual chip.

Accepted file format

.a2m, .amd, .rad, .fmc among many others
