Updates:

1Update 02.01.2014.
2Found an updated in_fm.dll Winamp (XMPlay compatible) plug-in version 0.8i4 (IMS/SOP/ROL)
3The playback using this Plug-In version is MUCH better than version 0.7 I included with Note.
4The archive also contains some IMS format music and Sound Bank files for them (.BNK)
5Also contains some various stuff on Korean.

Updates:

1Update 29.08.2018.
2Fixed broken links and uploaded files directly onto forum. Added software posted by other members into first post as well.

Wow! Great work and much thanks.
Note OPL3 sequencer is an amazing piece of work.
I was looking for the in_fm winamp plugin ver 0.8
How did you find it? 😀))))
I downloaded it.
To translate the Korean text files, I opened them in Word. Korean Auto-Detect
Then I copied the text to translate.google.com web site.
The translation is not bad at all.
Thanks again for this update.
Wish we have more info on the coder of Note.

No problem, i love the program as well 😁
I found it on some Korean website, had to register blindly since Google Translate didnt work on it and most buttons were images.
After doing that i simply downloaded the stuff.
I also finally gained some understanding of another website i am currently browsing, it has a LOT of info on IMS/ROL/SOP, but most of the files require me to be registered, which i cant do since i am not receiving the registration code on my phone.

These are the websites:
http://cluster1.cafe.daum.net/_c21_/bbs_searc … C20111007163826
http://cafe.naver.com/imsplayer.cafe

I'm the member of that cafe of Naver and can access those IMS files.

Downloaded some files, enjoy it.

Ys 2 Special - this is OPL2 data so in DOSBOX it is not accurate as real H/W FM.
Lots of files made by MYLOVE1(최연민) in Hitel - Korea old pop and some Japan anime OP/EDs. MYLOVE1 replied he make those when he was in high school. (OPL2)
sop full set (1996~2006) by gamebgm.com

In fact, those files were common in Korea retro, FM, DOSBOX-SVN daum forums. But I didn't thought you were needed those. Enjoy~ 😘

Awesome, thank you! 😁
Can you also upload this archive: [ims] 게임음악 모음 총 275곡

And can you tell us more about SOP / IMS differences?
I understand that SOP integrates instruments into the file, unlike IMS and ROL that require external .BNK, .ISS files. But is there anything else?
Also Lunar07 is very interested into the way program functions, do you maybe have Sopeposes email?

The cafe data file and posts are old above 7 years. It is almost impossible to talk with author, I think. (Since the cafe's last post was last September. Maybe newer member is impossibel to sign in.)

The SOP file format is similar to Rol, but have OPL3 support. (YMF-262M's 4OP mode, written in cafe post.)

Here is another new year present. 😀

but Not have SOP data sheet in cafe, only SOP file player source available. (it was used like WinAMP plugin.)
He used his SOP format for his game development. In some famous korea PC game, can find his name in it.

Thank you very much for all the info 😊 ! 😁

I will sort everything and update the topic when i get more time 😀

Can somebody explain what makes Note's 4-op functionality better than others?
e.g. Adlib Tracker II does 4-op by combining two 2-op instruments, one as carrier, the other as modulator. Is there any difference or advantage to whatever Note does?

Do the IMS files in the gamemusi folder need an SB16? They don't play on my Yamaha YMF-744 (SBPro 2 compatible). The IMS files in the IMS in the NOTE folder play fine though. I tested in dosbox-daum and also in win98 ms-dos.

I thought so too 😀
I asked Sopepos but he only replied that he read the forum ( i was AFK from steam ). Still not sure if its true or not.

As far as i am informed, IMS files need the instrument bank. There are a few in those archives.

[EDIT]

Reply from Sopepos:
He (NHJO HYENNRO) was not a member of Note dev team. (team has only one member - me.)
He's lying.

We have a faker here 😀

Thanks, I copied the standard.bnk from the Ys2 folder to the gamemusi folder and now the files I've tried work.

I've been wondering what the working IMS sources were like. I wrote a small tool to extract the music from the actual Ys2 Special game and it seems to use some custom format (written by sopepos apparently, BUT it's not .SOP). So far they worked when importing to the MANTRA port of Eiyuu Densetsu II, which was interesting.
Actually, these source filenames might be a good enough clue to determine a composer breakdown... hmmm 😀 Thanks for that. (I have a .vgm rip set with tags that need a major cleanup, based from the extracted music data from game version.)

Also,

Source of .SOP file format? This might be useful actually. I know there's an open-source imsplayer on Google code, although it does not appear to be as accurate as OCPLAY. :\ But anyway, anything related to .SOP/.IMS seems hard enough to obtain as it is.

Re: NHJO HYENNRO, I swear I've seen this handle once before. Haha.

Hi, all! I've recently discovered the wonderful world of note, and really enjoying it's sound! Reminds me a lot of what would happen if .rol or .cmf grew up and gained OPL3 support. A nice break from the typical tracker scene. I've just got a couple of questions.

1. I understand that I can make instruments using 262IM, but I also note that note can load bnk files, I assume if I want to make my own sounds, I'd use 262IM and import these into note? There's no way to collect all instruments made in 262 and put them in a bank file?

2. The usage of note is stil a little unclear to me, however, here's what I think I've got.

Load note, your presented with a piano role type interface on top, and control view at the bottom. Tab switches between these.

To insert notes, use up/down/pgup/pgdn to select the note, use left and right to position the cursor to where you want the note, then press enter. ctrl-left and right move between beats, left and right move between ticks. Plus/minus, move between notes? The translation is unclear here, using the word "Madigon"?

thanks all!
