Oktalyzer is a module tracker created by Armin Sander. The program is so named because it supports eight channels. This was impressive since the Amiga audio hardware at the time only supported four channels. To allow for 8 channels, Oktalyzer loaded eight channels in memory, mixed them in real time down to four channels, and sent the result to the Amiga sound chip. This was a processor intensive process which degraded sound quality, but the increased channels more than made up for it.

(Info)


The OKT files are located in the .\OK-Songs folder, though, like other Amiga files, they don't have file extensions. The earliest versions of Oktalyser didn't have demo music included with the program, but later versions did. Some of the songs are compressed in Power Packer format. The songs were recorded using DUMB Module Decoder in foobar2000.
