Tracker Music Tools

MOD, XM, S3M and IT Player, Converter, Sample Extractor and Pattern Viewer

Tools for the music of the Amiga, the demoscene and 1990s PC games: Amiga ProTracker MOD, FastTracker 2 XM, Scream Tracker S3M, Impulse Tracker IT and about twenty rarer module formats. Every tool runs libopenmpt, the playback engine of OpenMPT, inside your browser, so the modules are never uploaded.

Every Tracker Music tool

Playing and converting modules

A module is a song stored as instructions plus a handful of short samples, so it has to be played by a tracker engine rather than an ordinary audio player. The MOD player renders one module or a whole playlist with your choice of stereo separation and interpolation, and the converter turns each module into a WAV or MP3 that any phone, editor or video project can use. Both render offline, so a five-minute song is ready in well under a second on a typical laptop.

Looking inside a module

The info viewer reads a module's title, the tracker that saved it, its channel, pattern and instrument counts and the message text that many composers hid in their sample names. The pattern viewer shows the notes, instruments and effects scrolling by in the classic tracker layout, kept in time with the music, which is the best way to learn how a favourite tune was put together.

Taking a module apart

The sample extractor saves every sample in a MOD, S3M, XM or IT file as its own WAV, with its original rate and loop points kept, ready to load into a sampler or a new tracker song. The channel muter plays or exports any combination of channels on their own, for isolating a bassline or a drum part, and the tempo and pitch changer speeds a module up, slows it down or retunes it before export.

Privacy and formats

Every tool here runs libopenmpt, the open-source engine behind OpenMPT, compiled to WebAssembly and loaded into the page. Your files are read in the browser and never uploaded. Besides MOD, XM, S3M and IT, the tools read MPTM, MTM, 669, MED, ULT, STM, FAR, OKT and other formats from the Amiga and DOS eras, plus packed MO3 and Unreal UMX files.
