What is a .YMD file?
A .YMD file is a type of audio file specifically used in the creation of chiptune music, which mimics the sound of vintage video game consoles. This file format is associated with Yach*PMS, a music tracker program designed to emulate the MuzCell sound board, a device known for its unique audio capabilities.
The content of a YMD file includes plain text that outlines the details of the music track it represents. This includes the definition of the song itself and the instruments that are used to produce the sound. Additionally, the file contains metadata about the track, such as the title of the song and the name of its creator or author.
To open and work with a .YMD file, you can use several different programs: 1. **Shiru Yach*PMS** - This is the primary software intended for creating and editing YMD files. It provides tools specifically tailored for working with Yach*PMS modules. 2. **Microsoft Visual Studio Code** - This is a versatile code editor that can open YMD files as plain text. This allows you to view and edit the text-based content of the file, although it does not provide the music tracking capabilities of Shiru Yach*PMS. 3. **Any text editor** - Since YMD files are essentially text files, you can open them with any basic text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. This is useful for viewing or making minor changes to the text data, but like Visual Studio Code, it won’t allow you to manipulate the music directly.
Using these tools, you can either edit the YMD file as a text document or use specialized software like Shiru Yach*PMS to work with the music aspects of the file.
