make order on
your FT2 modules!

XM Cleaner is a Windows utility for making some basic operations on FastTracker II songs (.XM files). It allows you to:
- reorganize patterns and move unused ones to the end
- reorganize instruments
- reorganize tracks
Pattern reorganization simply reorders (and renumbers) patterns following the song list order. Use this if you like to have your module start with pattern 01, then 02 and so on. Unused patterns are moved to the end of the song too, so you can easily delete them if you want (i.e. when you're releasing you mod).
With instruments reorganization you can easily change instrument numbers without affecting the song. This way you can avoid empty slots or keep together instruments at your own taste.
The same concept applies to track reorganization. It's very useful to insert or move a channel channel in a specified position. For example you may need a 4th channel just near your 3-channel string chord or want to move the hihat track near the kickdrum's one. XM Cleaner lets you to see how instruments are placed in tracks in order of appareance within the song.
