The xt file extension is associated with FastTracker and its music tracks.
FastTracker was one of the most widely used trackers in the world. It was created by Fredrik "Mr. H" Huss and Magnus "Vogue" Högdahl, two members of the PC demo group Triton, now commonly known as Starbreeze Studios. The group released its own tracker after breaking into the scene in 1992 and winning several demo competitions.
FastTracker was designed for MS-DOS and is now legacy software. Its source code was written in Pascal using Borland Pascal 7 and TASM, so the xt file format is mainly encountered in older tracker music collections.
Open the file with the version of FastTracker for which it was created. Because FastTracker is legacy MS-DOS software, current systems may require a DOS emulator such as DOSBox.
General-purpose audio players do not normally open this format. If FastTracker is unavailable, a modern tracker may be able to import the file, but support for this legacy format is not universal.
Open the xt file in FastTracker or a compatible tracker and save or export it in a format supported by that program. This may preserve the composition as an editable tracker module.
To create an audio file, play the track and record the output to a format such as WAV. Unsupported files may need to be opened with the original FastTracker software.
