It takes about 16 channels to have a properly sounding piano emulating two hands with chords played, 6 channels to emulate a guitar etc. I hit 32 channels before I'm even able to lay out the synths. orchestral music & chiptunes - it takes about 4 layers for a fat synth or a fat drum - double or triple that to 8 or 12 to make it possible to use stereo effects.

64 doesn't really require any other code changes than upping the constants in the application, so doesn't have any real cost other than making the XM incompatible with legacy software, and can (and does) provide real benefits (see below),ī) 32 channels for modules is simply too little for format without multilayered instruments or stereo samples it happens for me regardless of the genre, both for e.g. Preamble: I'm aware of the reasons why MT supports only 32 channels out-of-the-box ("real" FT2-ish XMs supporting only that much, MT being used on low-end platforms without CPU power to mix more channels, the "don't just double the channel amounts by 2" doctrine from FT2, already having the ability to use more channels with quite simple source hacks etc.) Still, I'd like to propose adding a support for more channels (at least 64) in master branch.Ī) more than 32 channels have been and already used by many (if not most) of the other contemporary trackers & players, including, but not limited to, IT, MPT, Skale, XMPlay etc., since increasing the amount of channels in XM-stored modules to e.g.
