What is a .MMD file?
MMD is an OctaMED music module - a tracker song from the MED/OctaMED editors on the Commodore Amiga, holding patterns and samples.
- Did you know
- OctaMED’s name came from coaxing eight channels of sound out of the Amiga’s four hardware audio channels.
- MED began in 1989 as a free Amiga music editor by Teijo Kinnunen, with OctaMED as its commercial successor.
- Different MMD revisions, from MMD0 through MMD3, extended the format with more channels, instruments and effects over the years.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify many more audio formats: lossless/hi-res codecs (Monkey’s Audio, WavPack, TAK, True Audio, DSD/SACD, Musepack), pro containers (Core Audio, RF64/BW64, Wave64, Sun AU, Broadcast Wave with timecode), speech/mobile (Speex, AMR-WB, QCP, 3GA, M4R, GSM), MPEG Layer I/II, instrument banks (SoundFont, SFZ, DLS, RIFF MIDI, GigaStudio), ringtones (RTTTL, iMelody, SAP), tracker modules (MOD, XM, IT, S3M, OctaMED, 669, Oktalyzer), chiptunes (NES NSF, SNES SPC, VGM, Game Boy GBS, AY, YM) and Audacity projects. DJI waveform peak sidecars (PKF - the overview a DJI recorder writes beside its audio) are drawn as a waveform; Adobe Audition peak caches (also PKF) are identified.
- Depth of analysis
- .MMD is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .MMD file
- Drag a .MMD file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
