Wow, didn't know that! You learn something new every day. :)
Is this really faster than lsl.w #8,Dn though? Maybe on a 68000 system with fastmem?

Pushing a word to the stack, and popping only a byte back. You absolute madman! :D

I assume you backup the stack pointer before the loop and restore it afterwards?

PAT2SMP is the button in my ProTracker 2 clone, I don't think any PT program on Amiga has that one. Maybe as MOD2SMP.

Yep, I know. Same for the LEN register.


Sounds like a rare issue, and I don't think I have personally encountered it. It's still worth supporting sample swapping, imo.

Yes it is, "sample swapping" was a common technique used in plenty of ProTracker MODs, especially chiptune-styled ones.

Seems like the 0..63 range is correct, or at least anything else I try makes it sound (and look) wrong. So maybe the "lower 6 bits" part just shouldn't be signed (-32..31).

If this is trying to simulate vblank playback, you need to allow the whole Fxx range for setting ticks per row, IIRC.

I have mixed feelings about LSP. It's good for what it is, but calling it the "fastest .MOD player" is a bit misleading, in my opinion. In the end, it has nothing to do with the old format. :rolleyes
