DTM file open in OpenMPT 1
Frontier Software developed Digital Tracker and released it in 1994 for the Atari Falcon computer. Its DTM format is based on the .MOD Amiga Module format that Karsten Obarski developed and released with the Ultimate Soundtracker software for the Commodore Amiga system in 1987.
