FastTracker modules come in 4-channel, 6-channel and 8-channel flavours. These can be identified by means of the 4-byte field at offset 1080:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:200px; height:200px;"
|+ Flavour / Signature
|-
! Flavour
! Signature
|-
! 4-channel
| M.K.
|-
! 6-channel
| 6CHN
|-
! 8-channel
| 8CHN
|-
|}

Similarly, a number of clone formats exist. These can likewise be identified by means of the 4-byte field at offset 1080:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:200px; height:200px;"
|+ Clone/ Signature
|-
! Clone
! Signature
|-
! [[Grave Composer module]] (.wow)
| M.K.
|-
! [[Octalyser module]]
| CD81
|-
! [[Startrekker / Audio Sculpturer module]]
| EXO8
|-
! [[Startrekker / Audio Sculpturer module]]
| FLT8
|-
! Unknown
| OCTA
|-
|}

These clone formats, with the exception of the Startrekker modules, can be played back in programs supporting FastTracker modules by using a hex editor to change the above signature to "8CHN".
