What is a .ST26 file?
ST26 is a module from Soundtracker 2.6, a later Amiga revision that extended the original four-channel format.
- Did you know
- Soundtracker 2.6 replaced the original flat pattern order list with a per-channel track table, so each of the four channels picks its own sequence of reusable tracks.
- Analyser handles .ST26 alongside related formats such as .MOD, .XM, .IT and more.
- In Analyser's format library, .ST26 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.
