'''''Module (MOD)''''' is a digital sample-based music format created by Karsten "Obi" Obarski for use with his program, the [[Ultimate SoundTracker]], however, the format is probably best known for it's association with [[ProTracker]]. Over the years several other trackers would use the MOD extension, with variations to the format. Some of the other common trackers to use the MOD extension include [[StarTrekker]], [[FastTracker]], [[Fasttracker II]], and [[ChipTracker]].

Module (MOD) is a digital sample-based music format created by Karsten "Obi" Obarski for use with his program, the Ultimate Soundtracker, however, the format is probably best known for its association with ProTracker. Over the years several other trackers would use the MOD extension, with variations to the format. Some of the other common trackers to use the MOD extension include StarTrekker, NoiseTracker, FastTracker, Fasttracker II, and ChipTracker. Module files have an *.mod extension, but compressed MOD files will have the extension *.mdz.

MOD files usually contain only a single track, but games (Castle Master (AMI), Greedy (DOS), Pizza Worm (DOS), two ripped files of Star Control 2 (DOS)) and later versions of the format can jump to arbitrary positions, emulating multiple songs in one MOD file.

To understand the difference between modules and MIDI formats, see digital music comparison.
