What is a .FTM file?
FTM is the module format of Face The Music, an Amiga tracker. The same extension is far more commonly a FamiTracker NES chiptune module, which Analyser tells apart by its header.
- Did you know
- Three-letter tracker extensions were claimed independently by unrelated programs all through the 1990s, which is why a module player identifies a file by its header rather than its name.
- In Analyser's format library, .FTM sits in the System & disk category.
- Analyser opens .FTM files right in your browser - they are parsed and rendered on your device, never uploaded to a server.
- 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 .FTM file
- Drag a .FTM 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.
