This is the home of OpenMPT (short hand for Open ModPlug Tracker), a popular tracker software for Windows. OpenMPT is completely free and allows you to create and play back some great music on your computer. Based on the original ModPlug Tracker written by Olivier Lapicque, OpenMPT is free software and supports a wide variety of module formats and offers an intuitive, native GUI as well as advanced features such as VST plugins and ASIO output.

I just noticed that an unstable version of the MIDI Input / Output plugin sneaked into the OpenMPT 1.20 release package. The file has been updated about an hour ago, so if you plan to use the MIDI Input / Output plugin and have already downloaded OpenMPT 1.20, you should download the file again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The latest version of OpenMPT has been released today. It has been more than one year since the first release of OpenMPT 1.19, so the list of bugfixes, changes and new features is incredibly long this time. Here is a short compilation of notable changes:

As you can see, the openmpt.org front page has changed quite a bit! The new custom theme should be easier and more fun to use.
One of the most notable changes is that the search box now points to the OpenMPT wiki, as there is not much interesting content on the front page that would be useful to search for.

Replacing the old and outdated XWiki, our new English OpenMPT Wiki has gone live today. The articles were written up and copied from Harbinger's Offline Help Manual since last year. Some pages (for example the Pattern Editor page) still need some work, so if you want to contribute, you are invited to write help text for this page or copy more text from the Offline Help Manual.

From today, OpenMPT is no longer a free product. Inspired by the success of certain other commercial trackers, the release of OpenMPT 1.20 is a turning point in the history of OpenMPT.
From now on, users no longer have to long for features that are only available to closed-source software producers such as ReWire - It's all there!
More details about the new license and pricing scheme can be found here.
And don't worry, the free OpenMPT 1.20 will be released really soon. :-)

The server hosting the OpenMPT services will go down for maintenance on Saturday. Expect a few hours of downtime. Our download resources will still be available under a different URL during that time.
Update: The server has been upgraded successfully. If you spot any dodginess with our services that didn't turn up before, please let us know by posting a comment here!

Happy new year to all trackers!
We have now put online a page with Development Resources. It contains some information about tracker file formats (which is yet to be extended) and other interesting reads, not only for tracker developers but module music enthusiasts in general - like The MOD FAQ and the TraxWeekly newsletter archive. Have fun!

The latest version of OpenMPT has been released today. I decided to backport some important bug fixes from the code of the upcoming OpenMPT 1.20 to the OpenMPT 1.19 branch so that they are available for all users. Like the previous minor update, this build does not bring any new features, but focuses on some important bug fixes:
