This is me experimenting with OpenMPT, learning it's features and
commands. I've had trouble with the Z00-Z7F interchangeable macros the
most, but luckily I figured it out through the making of this module.
This module is one stepping stone out of hundreds into learning .mptm,
as well as .it and .s3m. Also, the filter and resonance macros (ZXX)
rocks!!!

________________________________/Story\_________________________________
Before this, I was planning to make an .xm track (and had even started
working on it), but halfway through, I felt limited...sort of trapped
in my own bubble. Was it my fault for being a stickler for .xm?
Anyways, I had another melody on the top of my head, and decided to
make it in another format, thus the unexpected turn to .mptm.
Why .mptm? I want to try to break format limits but also making it
playable in all players meant for that format. Seeing that .it doesn't
support plugins, as well as the assignable Zxx macros, I went to .mptm.
Quite an enjoyable experience working with .mptm...I learnt a good bunch
of .s3m's side of commands (as opposed to knowing only .xm's).
By the way, I just found out my childhood game:
Thinkin' Things Collection 2
And let me tell you, it was fun! Especially while I was working on this
module. Instrument 13 (0Dh) was taken from the game file...I think it
fits nicely.
So yea, that's the story and inspiration of this .mptm module.

I feel like making an extended (alternate?) version. It's going to be
longer and more atmospheric-based, just like trance...well...maybe it's
going to be straight up trance. Who knows?
