Is there a software package that will convert MOD type sound files to Microsoft Windows WAV type files?

WAV files are waveforms. MOD files are multiple waveforms, each representing an instrument, and a musical score. While it might be possible to generate one massively long waveform which sounds like a MOD file playback, I doubt anyone has done it. There may be a program to convert MOD files to some musical score format over in Windows. You'd have to go look in the various Windows forae to find out, though. I know there are players for MOD files which run under DOS for playback to a SoundBlaster, so possibly the same has been done for Windows. –>Steve Bennett

Where can I find this player for MOD files that runs under DOS to a SoundBlaster? Louis Chicago, IL

You've got me. Ask in the IBM forums. We've had enough IBMers coming over here asking how to decompress MOD files to play with this player (They're typically in LHARC format… <g>) that I know it's out there somewhere… –>Steve Bennett

Louis, Check in the MIDI Forum for a program called WOWII. This is the best there is! Or just check the IBM File Finder. Jersey Joe

Thank you for your reply. I was also wondering whether VOC tyoe sound files could be converted

I dunno. What's a VOC type sound file? –>Steve Bennett

Sorry for the confusion. 'VOC' type files are sound files that came with the Soundblaster package. The program that comes with it, 'Creative Voice Kit', plays these type of files. I have found a conversion program to convert these to WAV files. It is called VOC2WA.ZIP , and it is on 'IBMNEW' forum if you are interested.
