What is an AKS file?
An AKS file is an audio module saved in the Arkos Tracker (AKS) format. It contains one or more audio samples, instruments, patterns, and notes that comprise the melody and related metadata (e.g., the module name and version). Arkos Tracker users save modules in the proprietary .AKS format to save their music or sound effects compositions.
