Oh yeah right! Mod files. I remember thinking when pdf came into being, it was to postscript like mod was to midi. A pdf is ps with fonts and whatever else embedded in it so that you could render it in a self-contained sort of way. The mod file was midi + samples to make them self-contained as well. I don’t know how accurate that is, but that’s how I pictured it in my head.
Ha yeah, thats accurate enough. I had some cool tracker software that could even render some discolights flashing to the music. Great way to enjoy electronice music before MP3’s where a thing. Especially since you needed about three disks per song to transfer them :p
Mod files played with tracker software. They were awesome at the time (and still are).
