DESCRIPTION

       xmp  is  a tracked music module player. It plays many module formats including Fasttracker
       II (XM), Noise/Fast/Protracker (MOD), Scream Tracker 3 (S3M) and Impulse Tracker (IT). Run
       xmp --list-formats for a complete list of supported formats.

OPTIONS

       -a, --amplify factor
              Amplification factor for the software mixer. Valid amplification factors range from
              0 to 3. Default is 1. . Warning: higher amplification factors may  cause  distorted
              or noisy output.

       -A, --amiga
              Use a mixer which models the sound of an Amiga 500, with or without the led filter.

       -b, --bits bits
              Set the software mixer resolution (8 or 16 bits). If omitted, The audio device will
              be opened at the highest resolution available.

       -C, --show-comments
              Display module comment text, if any.

       -c, --stdout
              Mix the module to stdout.

       -D device-specific parameter
              Pass a configuration  parameter  to  the  device  driver.  See  the  DEVICE  DRIVER
              PARAMETERS section below for a list of known parameters.

       -d, --driver driver
              Select  the  output  driver. If not specified, xmp will try to probe each available
              driver.

       -e, --player-mode mode
              Force play mode or emulation of a specific tracker. Valid player  modes  are:  auto
              (autodetection),   mod   (generic   mod   player  mode),  noisetracker,  protracker
              (Protracker 1/2), s3m (generic S3M player mode), st3  (Scream  Tracker  3),  st3gus
              (Scream  Tracker  3  with  GUS card), xm (generic XM player mode), ft2 (Fasttracker
              II), it (Impulse Tracker), or itsmp  (Impulse  Tracker  in  sample  mode).  When  a
              specific tracker is specified, xmp will try to emulate quirks and bugs for accurate
              replay. Default is autodetection.

       -F, --nofilter
              Disable IT lowpass filter effect and envelopes.

       -f, --frequency rate
              Set the software mixer sampling rate in hertz.

       --fix-sample-loop
              Halve sample loop start  values.  Use  it  to  work  around  bad  conversions  from
              15-instrument modules and to correctly play NoisePacker v2 and certain UNIC files.

       -h, --help
              Show a short summary of command-line options.

       -I, --instrument-path path
              Set the pathname to the directory containing external samples.

       -i, --interpolation type
              Select  interpolation  type.  Available  types  are  nearest  for  nearest-neighbor
              interpolation, linear  for  linear  interpolation,  and  spline  for  cubic  spline
              interpolation. Default is cubic spline.

       --load-only
              Load module and exit.

       -L, --list-formats
              List supported module formats.

       -l, --loop
              Enable module looping.

       --loop-all
              Loop over the entire module list.

       -M, --mute channel-list
              Mute  the  specified  channels.  channel-list  is a comma-separated list of decimal
              channel ranges. Example: 0,2-4,8-16.

       -m, --mono
              Force mono output (default is stereo in stereo-capable devices).

       --mixer-voices num
              Set the maximum number of virtual channels (default is 128).

       -N, --null
              Load and mix module, but discard output data (same as --device=null).

       --nocmd
              Disable interactive commands.

       -o, --output-file filename
              Set the output file name when mixing to raw or WAV files. If '-' is  given  as  the
              file name, the output will be sent to stdout.

       -P, --pan num
              Set the percentual panning amplitude.

       -P, --default-pan num
              Set  the  percentual  default  pan setting for modules that don't set their own pan
              values. Useful to reduce LRRL pan separation on headphones.   This  parameter  does
              not affect the Amiga 500 classic mixer.

       --probe-only
              Exit after probing the audio device.

       -R, --random
              Play modules in random order.

       -r, --reverse
              Reverse left/right stereo channels.

       -S, --solo channel-list
              Play only the specified channels. channel-list is a comma-separated list of decimal
              channel ranges. Example: 0,2-4,8-16.

       -s, --start pos
              Start playing the module from the position pos.

       -t, --time time
              Specifies the maximum playing time to time seconds.

       -u, --unsigned
              Tell the software mixer to use unsigned samples when mixing to a file  (default  is
              signed).

       --vblank
              Force Amiga vblank-based timing (no CIA tempo setting).

       -V, --version
              Print version information.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose  mode  (incremental). If specified more than once, the verbosity level will
              be increased (no messages will be displayed when the player runs in background).

       -Z, --all-sequences
              Play all hidden or alternative pattern sequences (subsongs) in module.

       -z, --sequence num
              Play hidden or alternative pattern sequence num (0 is the main sequence).

DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS

       Use the option -D to send parameters directly to the device drivers. Multiple  -D  options
       can be specified in the command line.

       File output options:

       -D endian=big
              Generate big-endian 16-bit samples (default is the machine byte ordering).

       -D endian=little
              Generate little-endian 16-bit samples (default is the machine byte ordering).

       ALSA driver options:

       -D buffer=value
              Set buffer size in ms. Default value is 250.

       -D period=value
              Set period time in ms. Default value is 50.

       -D card=name
              Choose the ALSA device to use. Default value is "default".

       OSS driver options:

       -D frag=num,size
              Set  the  maximum  number of fragments to num and the size of each fragment to size
              bytes (must be a power of two).  The number and size of fragments  set  a  tradeoff
              between  the  buffering  latency  and  sensibility  to  system  load. To get better
              synchronization, reduce the values. To avoid gaps in the sound  playback,  increase
              the values.

       -D dev=device_name
              Set the audio device to open. Default is /dev/dsp.

       -D nosync
              Don't sync the OSS audio device between modules.

       BSD driver options:

       -D gain=value
              Set the audio gain. Valid values range from 0 to 255.  The default is 128.

       -D buffer=size
              Set the size in bytes of the audio buffer. Default value is 32 Kb.

       CoreAudio driver options:

       -D buffer=value
              Set buffer size in ms. Default value is 250.

       HP-UX and Solaris driver options:

       -D gain=value
              Set the audio gain. Valid values range from 0 to 255.  The default is 128.

       -D port={s|h|l}
              Set  the  audio  port.  Valid  arguments  are  s  for  the  internal speaker, h for
              headphones and l for line out. The default is the internal speaker.

       -D buffer=size
              Set the size in bytes of the audio buffer. The default value is 32 Kb.
