xmodits-py 0.3.1

Extract samples from tracker modules. Supports IT, XM, S3M, MOD, UMX, MPTM

XMODITS python library

Supported formats:

• Impulse Tracker .IT
• Extended Module .XM
• Scream Tracker .S3M
• Amiga Pro Tracker .MOD
• Open ModPlug Tracker .MPTM (Identical to Impulse Tracker sample-wise)
• Unreal Music Container .UMX (Containing the above formats)

How to use

import xmodits

file = "~/Downloads/music.xm"
folder = "~/Music/samples/"

# Rip samples to folder
xmodits.dump(file, folder)

Required Arguments

Argument	Meaning
Path	Path to a tracker module
Destination	Destination folder for ripped samples

Additional Arguments

Argument	Definition
with_folder	Create a new folder for ripped samples. e.g. When set to True, "drums.it" will create "drums_it" in the destination folder and place those samples there.
index_padding	Set padding. e.g. "01 - kick.wav" --> "1 - kick.wav"
index_only	Only name samples with a number. e.g. "09 - HiHat.wav" --> "09.wav"
index_raw	Preserves the internal sample indexing
upper	Name samples in upper case
lower	Name samples in lower case
strict	Enabled by default. Will reject files that don't match the following file extensions: [it, xm, s3m, mod, umx, mptm]

Exceptions

They are pretty much self explanitory.

Exception	Meaning
SampleExtraction	A sample could not be extracted
PartialExtraction	Not all of the samples could be extracted
TotalExtraction	None of the samples could be extracted
UnsupportedFormat	A module format was recognized, but its type is not supported
InvalidModule	The file is not a valid tracker module
EmptyModule	The tracker module is valid but it has no samples
UnrecognizedFileExtension	The file extension was not recognized
NoFormatFound	Could not determine a valid format

Additional Examples

Dump samples without names

import xmodits

tracker = "mods/music.xm"
folder  = "samples/"

xmodits.dump(
    tracker,
    folder,

    index_only=True 
)

This produces the following output in folder "samples":

01.wav
02.wav
03.wav
04.wav
...
15 - vocal.wav

Dump samples without padding the index:

import xmodits

tracker = "mods/music.xm"
folder  = "samples/"

xmodits.dump(
    tracker,
    folder,
    index_padding=0 # or 1, both have the same effect
)

Output:

1 - hihat.wav
2 - kick.wav
3 - snare.wav
4 - toms.wav
...
15 - vocal.wav

Samples stored in tracker modules can have an arbitary index. If you prefer to use this index, include the parameter:

index_raw=True

If you're dumping from multiple modules to the same folder, you're guaranteed to have collisions.

You should include the parameter:

with_folder=True
