Earliest known modules?

Post by GeckoYamori »

I am interested in obtaining these for the sheer novelty of it. I know the format has been around since 1987 but none of the archives I know of can sort by date.

It was Karsten Obarski who wrote the first SoundTracker for the Amiga so his modules would be the ones to look for.

Edit: At that point you could not save the songs as modules but as "songs". You had to have the samples on the sample discs that came with the SoundTracker, initially the ones named ST-00 and ST-01. So if you want the real vanilla experience, you need to get the songs and the samples. I guess you will be better off if you look for the .mod files, though :-)

I had a link to a site that is now dead. :(

But keep looking... someone converted the SONG+Sample format into a Single .MOD Protracker format
