Description

.ft files are modules produced by FastTracker for MS-DOS.

Information

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:

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:

Clone/ Signature
Clone Signature
Grave Composer module (.wow) M.K.
Octalyser module CD81
Startrekker / Audio Sculpturer module EXO8

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".
