Noiseconverter is a FREEWARE tool to rip and convert Protracker related Modules
like Propacker, Prorunner, Noisepacker etc. It is able to load those formats and
save the modules in the format you like (Protracker, Quadracomposer, Art of
Noise and lots more).
It requires Kickstart 2.04 (V37) and Reqtools.library. From Kickstart 3.0
on locale.library is supported. Currently English, German and Dutch catalog
files.

Some features:

 - completely font sensitive gadtools window, style guide conform, easy to use
 - Keyboard support for simple one key strokes
 - decrunches almost every file using XPK and XFDMaster.library
 - supports localization (Kick2.1+)
 - direct Eagleplayer support (Grab module from / send module to Eagleplayer +
   additional commands)
 - complete module informations including playtime calculation
 - auto detect of the module formats
 - built in Ripper for almost all supported formats including depacking
   ability for most usual file packers. That means you can load an intro or
   file demo of your choice and when it was packed with a cruncher supported
   by XFDMaster.library it will be decrunched automatically and the ripper
   will start immediately after that. No need to put your mouse away and
   use Command line commands for that task.
 - automatically adds the right prefixes for the saved formats (of course
   compatible to the Eagleplayer/ExoticRipper ones)
 - written of course 100 % in Assembler
 - saves the last used paths into "env:" and "envarc:" so every time you
   start Noiseconverter you can continue where you stopped your work, of
   course uses separate paths for load and save operation
 - able to remove wrong tempo commands used in modules like e.g. "Mod.face
   another day" by Jogeir Liljedahl, "Prun.techdust" by hobbes/Infect or
   "Prun.Russian Theme" by TDK
 - able to rebuild damaged or wrong Patterndatas produced e.g. by the old
   "Perverter" tool, as second example I only want to mention "Mod.Project
   X Title" (it seems that most people only have got the damaged version)
 - possibility to alter the modulename
 - renaming of samples + saving as IFF8SVX supported
 - currently 19 different module formats at saving including splitting of 
   modules into songs + samples
 - own, correct working Prorunner 2.0 saver included
 - option to set the author`s name into the module
 - online help
 - Virtual Memory support, VMM and Gigamem tested
 - written on a turbocharged machine, enforcer and mungwall proof
 - support for Chipsaver, ExoticBoot and Exotic mempatch
