What is a .OKT file?
OKT is the eight-channel module format of the Amiga’s Oktalyzer.
- Did you know
- Oktalyzer was an early tool for eight-channel music on the Amiga.
- Oktalyzer takes its name from supporting eight channels, achieved by mixing them in software down to the Amiga’s four hardware channels in real time.
- It was written by Armin Sander and sold commercially in the late 1980s, with its final version arriving in 1991.
- 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.
