The adlib format was 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)
- MODPlug Tracker (Windows) (*.s3m, *.mptm)
- Furnace Tracker (Windows, Linux, Mac) (*.fur)

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. THAT MEANS NO SAMPLES. :) 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

Hosting Status



As of October 2024, the format has been retired and is no longer hostable.
It's been split into the OPL2 and the OPL3 format respectively.
