It rips from 13 different formats: MOD, S3M, MTM, 669, ULT(1.5), FAR, MED, AMF, PSM, STX, STM, DSM(Psychic Monks format-Not Dynamic Trackers format), and OKT. The ripper also saves in 6 different formats, Signed or or Unsigned, for all your different tracker needs. The special thing about this sample ripper is that it will playback the samples so that you can preview the sample before you rip it. ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³How To Start GetSamps³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù All you have to do is type GetSamps. This will dump you into the File Selection Menu. While in here Up/Down/Left/Right/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn all do what their names imply. 'C' will change the current directory, 'M' changes the file mask, 'ESC' exits it and 'CR' selects the directory or song. GetSamps does have some command line agruments: /c - reconfigure the configurable stuff :) /l - only load the samples to the Gus when they are needed /? - show the above :) ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³Commands To Use While in GetSamps³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù Most of the commands are hightlighted in the program and are easy to figure out, but here is a list of them anyway.

Some of you guys can be so damned picky :) In version 2.00: There are a couple major changes that we hope you'll like. We've added SB support so it should now work on both SB and GUS. We have also added a file selection menu. Just highlight the DIR or File and press enter. The biggest change would be the use of the ST3 QWERTY keyboard. For those that don't know how to use the QWERTY keyboard, we have included the section of the ST3 docs explaining it: [- Friggin' huge thanks to Edge for letting us include his doc -] For entering notes into the tracker, the keyboard is turned into a piano in the following way: Actual note: C# D# F# G# A# C# D# F# G# A# C# D# ³ ³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³³ ³ ³ ³ ³S³³D³ ³ ³G³³H³³J³ ³ ³2³³3³ ³ ³5³³6³³7³ ³ ³9³³0³ ³ ³ ÀÂÙÀÂÙ ³ ÀÂÙÀÂÙÀÂÙ ³ ÀÂÙÀÂÙ ³ ÀÂÙÀÂÙÀÂÙ ³ ÀÂÙÀÂÙ ³ ³ Z³ X³ C³ V³ B³ N³ M³ Q³ W³ E³ R³ T³ Y³ U³ I³ O³ P³ ÀÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÙ Actual note: C D E F G A B C D E F G A B C D E The period (.) key is used for clearing a note. Pressing one of the above keys enters the desired note, but the following things must be taken into consideration: 1. Baseoctave In the top right part of the screen, you will see the current baseoctave. It can be changed with the * and / keys, most easily accessed from the keypad. The number is the octave of the lower keyboard. ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³Comming Attractions³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù Things planned for future releases include Support for more formats (including DMF, XM, CBA, and many others), 16 bit sample support, more bugs fixes and more features not yet thought of. And probably a pretty GUI :). ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³The Beta Testers³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù Thanks to the beta testers for their time. Maelcum RyanCramer basehead necros Riven Zep BArtist [- and everyone else I DCCed it to and forgot about :) -] ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³Words From GodHead³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù As a fellow musician, I ask all people that use this program, PLEASE include a thanks to the person you ripped from. A little Greet or note about where you ripped it from is all that people ask. Don't be afraid to rip, as long as credit is given. I'd like to thank Zab for writing such a great ripper. It is one of the best I've come across, and it can only get better. [Excessive Greets Removed] [- more like moved :) -] ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³Words from Zab³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù First off I just want to really make sure everyone gets the message that if you rip samples and don't credit the source then you are a dofus. Since the only place I could find PSMs was in commercial games, if you rip from them you are probably breaking some bullshit copyright and will be considered a bad person. But if a PSM tracker is ever made then you all can rip away :). I would like to thank anyone who ever sent me format docs, and PM for letting me support DSMs :). If you rip from any you sure as hell better greet/credit Neccy :). Finally I'd like to thank GodHead for getting me off my ass and making me continue this :). Oh, and as of version 2.00 GetSamps is now EmailWare. All I ask is that you send me an email telling me what you think. If you don't then.. uhm.. I'll tell your mom about all the newdy pics! :) ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³How to contact us³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, or if you just wanna tell us how much you love this ripper, you can reach us at the following email address: [- and in fact you must :) -] Zab - zab@teleport.com GodHead - jbailey@lonestar.utsa.edu or jkowalsk@lonestar.utsa.edu or you may find us both on IRC. ùÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³Disclaimer³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄù The author of this program claims no responsibility or liability for any damage or data loss incurred by the usage of this program.
