What is this?
Good question. If you don't know what SMPS is, and have no interest in acquiring info about it, then this is nothing for you.
Now, for those of us more experienced persons, let's have a look. The SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis works with FM Synthesis. FM Synthesis uses sine waves overlayed in specially defined algorithms, and data that you feed those algorithms. This data is, by SEGA, referred to as a "voice", the instrument that is playing. SMPS is the music format used in quite a lot of SEGA's games, like Sonic The Hedgehog and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. The very end of a song file there consists of those instruments. This program extracts them for you.
Note: This utility is not supported by Oerg866 Software anymore.
*CAUTION*
The old README.TXT is misleading, my fault. This program only supports 68k standard SMPS, and therefore NOT Sonic 3 & Knuckles!
