What is a .DTM file?
DTM is a module format from Digital Tracker, later Digital Home Studio, on the Atari Falcon 030. The similar-looking .digi belongs to Digi Booster, an unrelated Amiga tracker. The extension is also used by the Dolphin emulator for recorded input movies.
- Did you know
- The Atari Falcon’s on-board DSP let Digital Tracker mix up to 32 channels, at a time when the Amiga’s ProTracker was still built around four hardware voices.
- Analyser handles .DTM alongside related formats such as .MOD, .XM, .IT and more.
- In Analyser's format library, .DTM 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.
- Open a .DTM file
- Drag a .DTM file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
