File extension .NST
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| NoiseTracker Music Module | N/A | Audio Files |
The NST file extension is associated with NoiseTracker Module, a software used for sequencing digital music for the Amiga and IBM PC compatible systems. Developed in 1987 either by Louis Klaus or Magnus Högdahl, NoiseTracker has since become one of the earliest and most widely used sample-based digital trackers. The program is no longer updated or supported by its original developers.
Technical Details
NST files are module-based compositions created in NoiseTracker. They are composed of samples as well as instructions governing the playback of the sample tracks. These instructions can control pitch, volume, panning, vibrato and various sample effects. A single NST file may contain up to 32 tracks and 4 stereo channels. The same format was often used for other tracker programs such as WeirdTracker and SküeTracker, changing only the extension of the files.
Similar File Extensions
NST files are similar to file extensions such as: .MOD,.S3M,.IT,.XM. All of these extensions store module-based music files. Other related extensions include .WAV,.MP3,.AIFF, which are sound samples that can be included in modules.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NST) 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 .NST 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 .NST 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 .NST 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 .NST extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NST file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NST 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 .NST file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NST file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NST file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
