This BASS system looks like a very neat product, and had I known about it when starting out, I might have used it in earlier versions. However, I would most likely have removed it by now. There are two problems: it's a black box - I have no idea what's going on inside it, and will not be able to attend to any issues with importing, etc. (I would have to wait for an update from BASS); it's Windows only - I'm trying to make reViSiT easily portable, even at the expense of making it easily programmable!
Also, I have already looked at OpenMPT, but it's biased towards C, rather than C++, and there is quite a world of difference. However, I have occassionally taken a look at their import algorithms when I hit a brick wall with the IT file specification - sometimes it helps, but most of the time the solution involves trawling through lines of code, step-by-step.
For the most part, the old file formats are fairly well-documented and I don't anticipate to many problems in providing .IT, .XM, .MOD and .S3M format support. I have a number of unfinished .IT files myself, so I'm with you on the desire to remix with modern standards, effects, and MIDI devices.
All the best,
Chris
multiple format support?
