UWF File Extension Description

Trackers are programs that can arrange music samples. Tracker programs create audio tracks by placing sound files and samples on a timeline using several monophonic channels. Early programs are based on number, with the user using alphanumeric keys to use notes. Effects and modifications are entered using hexadecimals.

Files with the .uwf file extension are used to mark sample files for tracker programs. The UWF file extension is used notably for the UltraTracker program. UltraTracker is a program that was released by Marc Andr? Schallehn of Germany on 1993. It is a shareware program that was released on the Internet.

The program was developed for MS-DOS computers. Files that use the file extension .uwf are often included in the program for immediate use. The UltraTracker uses the UWF file extension for samples that are 8 or 16 bit files. Samples with the .uwf file extension are arranged on a track to create tracker music. Tools available in the UltraTracker can modify and manipulate the files with the UWF file extension.

UltraTracker samples with the .uwf file extension contain audio files that can serve as the basis of a music track. These audio files can be a voice, an instrument or a sound effect. Files with the .uwf file extension can be looped to give the effect of being sustained.

The UltraTracker program can create tracker music from scratch or edit existing music tracks. It allowed users to produce music with up to 32 channels. The final audio tracks were considered CD-quality. The program was eventually considered obsolete. The programmer stopped development and support of the program.

Tracker music is often featured in video games. The earliest video game to feature this kind of music is the game Amegas released in 1987. Amegas was a clone for the Amiga game.

Most tracker programs now run on personal computers with more advanced operating systems. More recent tracker programs now rely on a more user friendly interface.
