.FTM File Extension

Audio tracker module created with FamiTracker, an audio program used for producing music for Nintendo (NES) systems; includes short audio samples and a series of notes that comprise the melody.

FTM files are saved in a proprietary format that can only be opened and edited with FamiTracker. However, songs created with FamiTracker can be exported to standard .WAV files or .NSF audio files.

NOTE: The name FamiTracker comes from "Famicom," which was the Japanese name for the original Nintendo system.

Family tree created with Family Tree Maker for DOS, an older version of the popular family tree creation program; contains genealogy data that can be viewed as a family tree.

Family Tree Maker for Windows saves family trees as .FTW files.

Template created by Finale, a music notation program; contains a template with pre-loaded or customized settings and music notation.

To create a FTM file simply select File → Save As... with your document of desired settings open, choose your save location (a helpful location is the Finale/Templates folder), name the file, select the FTM file type, and click Save.

To open a FTM file, select File → New → Document from Template and double-click on your FTM file.

NOTE: After the release of Finale 2014, the program began to use .FTMX files.
