About IT
Jeffrey Lim released Impulse Tracker for DOS in 1995. Its IT modules added instruments with envelopes and resonant filters, compressed samples and notes that keep sounding as new ones start, and OpenMPT and Schism Tracker still write them.
An IT holds patterns of up to 200 rows across 64 channels, the order they play in, instruments and samples, and often a message from the composer. MPTM, OpenMPT's own format, builds on it.
Filepeek plays it in its own build of libopenmpt, the engine of OpenMPT, inside your browser. The pattern playing scrolls under the waveform row by row, Show tags shows the message and lists the instruments and samples, saving the samples as WAVs, and Export saves the song as MP3 or WAV.

Questions
How do I play an IT file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an IT. It plays right away, its pattern scrolling under the waveform.
Can I get the samples out of a module?
Yes. Choose Show tags, then Save the samples, and every sample comes as a WAV in one ZIP, with its loop.
How long does a module play?
Through every part of its song once, then a 5 second fade, so a song that loops forever still ends.
Can I turn an IT into an MP3?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as MP3 or WAV, and the song is saved as it plays here.
Does it play MPTM files?
Yes. MPTM is OpenMPT's own extension of IT and plays the same way, without VST plugins, which are Windows programs.
