What is a .DMF file?

DMF is the module format of X-Tracker, a DOS tracker from the mid-1990s. It compresses its sample data, which was unusual for the time.

Did you know
  • X-Tracker's DMF compresses its sample data inside the file rather than storing raw PCM, which was unusual among the trackers of its day.
  • Analyser handles .DMF alongside related formats such as .MOD, .XM, .IT and more.
  • In Analyser's format library, .DMF sits in the System & disk category.
What Analyser shows you
Play and analyse tracker modules - MOD, XM, IT, S3M and around sixty relatives from the demoscene and the Amiga and DOS eras. A module is not recorded audio: it is a bank of instrument samples plus a pattern score saying which sample to trigger, on which channel, at which row, so playing one means running a tracker engine. Analyser renders the song on your device with libopenmpt - the engine behind OpenMPT - and then treats the result like any other audio, so you get the full Sound section: waveform, spectrogram, transport, loudness, key and BPM. Above it sits the module itself - the tracker that wrote it, the channel, pattern and order counts, the song message, and the sample and instrument name lists, which is traditionally where authors left their greetings. The rendered song can be saved as a WAV.
