| Creative Labs FM-synthesis Music Format | Creative Labs | Audio Files |
The CMF file extension is an audio file format developed by Creative Labs. It contains FM-Synthesis audio data as well as control information used by hardware FM… Synthesizers from Creative Labs. The files are typically saved in plain binary format and called Creative Music File.
The main purpose of CMF files is to provide the data on how to play music on AdLib, Sound Blaster Pro, and other FM-synthesis sound cards released in the late 80s and early 90s. The format was designed to replace the ROL (Robust Audio Link) file format used for AdLib composers. CMF files can also be opened with modern media players, such as VLC Media Player, using a corresponding plug-in.
Similar File Extensions
Files that have similar file extensions are KAR (Karaoke MIDI), MTM (MultiTracker Module), S3M (Scream Tracker 3 Module), XM (Fast Tracker 2 Module), and .MOD.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CMF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CMF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CMF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CMF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CMF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CMF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CMF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CMF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CMF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CMF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
