The mptmz file extension is associated with OpenMPT, music composition software for Microsoft Windows. An MPTMZ file is the compressed form of an OpenMPT module.
The mptmz file can contain the song arrangement, patterns, instruments, samples, and playback settings created in OpenMPT. It preserves the editable module rather than only a rendered audio recording.
OpenMPT is tracker software that runs on Windows.
Use OpenMPT on Windows to open an mptmz file. OpenMPT can decompress and load the module for playback and editing.
Use OpenMPT to render an mptmz file as an audio file, such as a WAV recording. This produces a recording of the module rather than another editable OpenMPT module.
OpenMPT can also save the composition in other supported module formats, although features specific to OpenMPT may not be preserved.
