NAME
mikmod - play soundtracker etc. modules on a Unix machine.
SYNOPSIS
mikmod [-options]... [module|playlist]...
DESCRIPTION
MikMod is a very portable module player based on libmikmod, written
originally by Jean-Paul Mikkers (MikMak). It will play the IT, XM, MOD, MTM,
S3M, STM, ULT, FAR, MED, DSM, AMF, IMF and 669 module formats. It works under
AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OSF/1, SunOS, Solaris and
OS/2. It is controllable via an easy-to-use curses interface and will extract
and play modules from a variety of different archive formats.
OPTIONS
Options can be given in any order, and are case-sensitive. For the options
which have both a short and a long form, the long form can be prefixed by one
or two dashes. Note that the settings in your $HOME/.mikmodrc will override the
defaults shown in this man page.
OUTPUT OPTIONS
-d n
--driver n
Use the specified device driver for output, 0 is autodetect. The default is 0.
If your installed libmikmod engine is recent enough (>=3.1.7), you can also
specify the driver with an alias, as well as driver options separated by
commas. The list and driver aliases and recognized options can be found in
libmikmod's documentation.
-o[utput] 8m|8s|16m|16s
Output settings, 8 or 16 bit in stereo or mono. The default is "16s".
-f freq
--frequency freq
Set mixing frequency in hertz. The default is 44100.
-i
--interpolate
Use interpolated mixing. This will generally improve audio quality, at the
expense of a bit more CPU usage. Note that this option alters the behaviour of
software drivers only ; hardware drivers are not affected.
--nointerpolate
Do not use interpolated mixing (default).
-hq
--hqmixer
Use high quality software mixer. This improves audio quality, but requires a lot
more CPU power. Note that this option alters the behaviour of software drivers
only ; hardware drivers are not affected.
--nohqmixer
Do not use high quality software mixer (default).
-s
--surround
Use surround mixing.
--nosurround
Do not use surround mixing (default).
-r n
--reverb n
Sets reverb amount from 0 (no reverb) to 15 (max reverb). The default is 0 (no
reverb).
PLAYBACK OPTIONS
-v volume
--volume volume
Set volume from 0% (silence) to 100%. The default is 100%.
-F
--fadeout
Fade out the volume during the last pattern of each module.
--nofadeout
Do not fade out the volume during the last pattern of each module (default).
-l
--loops
Enable in-module backwards loops.
--noloops
Disable in-module backwards loops (default).
-a
--panning
Process panning effects (default). This should be disabled (using --nopanning)
for very old demo modules which use the panning effects for synchronization
purposes.
--nopanning
Do not process panning effects.
-x
--protracker
Enable protracker extended speed effect (default). This should be disabled
(using --noprotracker) for very old demo modules which use the extended speed
effect for synchronization purposes.
--noprotracker
Disable protracker extended speed effect.
LOADING OPTIONS
-c
--curious
Look for hidden patterns in module. Most modules don't have hidden patterns,
but you can find "bonus" patterns (or just silence) in some modules.
--nocurious
Do not look for hidden patterns in module (default).
-p n
--playmode n
Playlist mode. The allowed values here are 0, to loop the current module ; 1,
to play the whole playlist once ; 2, to play the whole playlist repeatedly,
and 3, to play the whole playlist randomly. The default is 2.
-t
--tolerant
Don't halt MikMod if a module cannot be read or is an unknown format.
--notolerant
Halt MikMod if a module cannot be read or is an unknown format (default).
SCHEDULING OPTIONS
The following options need root privileges (or a setuid root binary), and
don't work under all systems.
-s Y|N
--renice Y|N
Renice to -20 if possible to gain more CPU priority. This option is only
available under FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD and OS/2.
--norenice
Do not renice to -20 (default).
-S Y|N
--realtime Y|N
Reschedule mikmod to gain real-time priority (and thus more CPU time).
DANGEROUS! USE WITH CAUTION! This option is only available under FreeBSD,
Linux and OS/2.
--norealtime
Do not reschedule MikMod to gain real-time priority (default).
DISPLAY OPTIONS
-q
--quiet
Quiet mode. Disables interactive commands and displays only errors.
-te
--terse
Terse display like MikMod 2, i.e. without the information panels.
INFORMATION OPTIONS
-n
--information
Display the list of the known drivers and module loaders.
-V
--version
Display MikMod version.
-h
--help
Display a summary of the options.
CONFIGURATION OPTION
--norc
Do not parse the $HOME/.mikmodrc configuration file. This file contains your
default settings, so that you don't have to specify them each time you run
MikMod. The file is read when you run MikMod and updated on exit. Using this
option prevents MikMod from accessing this file.

MENU BASICS
Some functions of MikMod are available through menus, in the playlist and
configuration panels.
You can select commands in the menus either by moving the selection with the
arrow keys and pressing enter, or entering the highlighted letter corresponding
ot the command you want to select.
Menu entries ending with a > character open a submenu, whereas entries
ending in ... open a dialog box. You can dismiss a submenu either by
choosing a command in this menu, or using the left arrow key to go back, or
switching panels.
In dialog boxes, you can move the focus from the input line to the Ok and
Cancel buttons either with the "tab" key, or the up and down arrow keys.
Also, if the statusbar is active (which is the default behaviour), it will
contain a short help text describing the menu option currently highlighted.
PLAYLIST MENU
When the playlist panel is displayed, pressing the return key will popup
a menu. The menu commands are:
Play
Continue list playback from the currently highlighted module.
Remove
Remove module from the playlist.
Delete...
Remove module from the playlist, and delete module file on disk, or whole
archive if the module is stored in an archive file. This function asks you to
confirm your choice.
File >
This entry opens a submenu with four commands, "Load", "Insert",
"Save" and "Save as". The Load and Insert commands ask
you for a filename, and replace the playlist with it (load) or merge it with
the playlist (insert). No wildcards are allowed. The Save and Save
as commands save the current playlist in a file, by default
``playlist.mpl'', in the current directory. Note that playlist filenames should
end in .mpl, or they won't be loaded by MikMod.
Shuffle
Randomize the playlist.
Sort >
This entry opens a submenu with sort commands. You can select a normal or
reverse order, and then sort the playlist with one of the four criteria:
by name, by extension, by path or by time.
Back
Discards the menu.
CONFIGURATION PANEL
The configuration panel lets you customize your MikMod settings, and save them.
You can also try some particular settings without losing your previous
configuration.
Output options
This section lets you choose various vital playback settings, such as the output
driver, the stereo/mono and 16/8 bit output settings, the playback frequency,
and the software mixer settings.
Playback options
This section lets you choose various module playback settings, such as the
output volume, the processing of panning effects and bacwards loops, etc.
Other options
This section lets you choose the remaining settings, such as the playlist mode,
and various program settings.
Use config
This command activates the current configuration settings, but does not save
them.
