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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
|---|---|
| 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".
