Details

The Open MODPlug Tracker (https://openmpt.org) is a modern music tracker that is for free. It too can handle ProTracker modules. This function assists in moving pattern data from Open MPT to R.

Simply select and copy the pattern data to the system's clipboard and use this function to import it to R as a PTPattern or PTBlock object.

## You could read it directly from the clipboard,
## by leaving text NULL (default). Here we provide
## the text specified above:
pat <- MODPlugToPTPattern(modPlugPattern, "PTPattern")

## look it is a "PTPattern" object now:
class(pat)

## we can also only import the first 10 lines as a
## PTBlock:
blk <- MODPlugToPTPattern(modPlugPattern[1:10], "PTBlock")
