If you're curious about the Remix scene and want to try your hands at a remix or two, well - it just got a whole lot easier by way of the STEMifinator from AmigaRemix.

In their own words; "If you decide to remix an old module made in SoundTracker, NoiseTracker or ProTracker, this service should be able to give you the foundation you need to create a remix out of. It can also be used as a basis for a straight-up remaster. Or why don't just use it as a kickstart inspiration for a remix or a new track? The sky's the limit.

Technically, what it does is dissect the module, mute all instruments and then switch on every single instrument, one by one. After that it renders a full-length version of each instrument playing in each separate Amiga channel, meaning that you can get as much as 31*5 stems if all instruments are used at least once in each channel. The fifth file per instrument is one containing all channels baked into one. If an instrument is only used in one channel, only this 'all-file' will be present."
