I think Noiseplayer V3.00 is not widely spread then... but in fact I don't even know if it's pure PD or SW... besides what is this XTMplayer 3.0 ? but anyway I use NP3.0 very often and it works just fine with NT/ST modules although it can't play modules with only 15 instrs, but you can fix it by converting those old modules to 31 format... Only think I've noticed it to come wrong is that it plays Future Composer modules wrong sometimes.. (oh and my set...

I got it from my friend so I don't know if it's anywhere in to ftp but I could mail it to you when I next come here (school)... -- **************************************** * Janne Salmij{rvi * s117986@cc.tut.fi * ****************************************
