members of the demo group Triton developed The FastTracker 2 program. It was written and developed by Magnus "Vogue" H?gdahl and Frederik "Mr. H" Huss. The group was part of the demoscene, which created digital music samples and competed. Triton eventually built a company called Starbreeze Studios.The program creates digital music by using samples. Samples can contain a number of audio files. It can hold instruments, voice and digitally created sounds. These are used to create music tracks, which are saved with the XM file extension. Files with the .xm file extension hold projects, which are created with the FastTracker 2 program.Files with the XM file extension contain music modules. These files are made up of digital samples and MIDI sounds. The XM file extension is the default for the program. These files are stored in the format for FastTracker 2. The program can edit the sound file without making any changes in the quality of the sound. Other tracker programs also support the format.The FastTracker 2 program is able to open music files in several formats. It is also able to save music in several formats, however the XM file extension is one of the most often used file extensions. The XM file extension means Extended Module. Another commonly used file extension is XI, which stands for Extended Instrument.Stringing audio files and modifying them create files with the XM file extension. The program has a number of effects that can be used to modify the sound of the program. Files with the XM file extension can be converted into other file formats by the program.Files with the XM file extension can be opened by other programs, which are currently supported, and in use. One program, which can convert FastTracker 2 module files, is the Awave Studio from FMJ-Software. The program can make changes to the file and convert it to another format. Once the file is converted it can already be played by a number of audio players while still maintaining its original sound.
