What is a .UMX file?
UMX is an Unreal Engine music package - tracker-module music wrapped in the Unreal package format, used by the original Unreal and Unreal Tournament.
- Did you know
- A UMX is really a tracker module (often .it or .s3m) inside an Unreal package, so the game’s soundtrack was played back by the same engine that loaded its maps.
- Analyser handles .UMX alongside related formats such as .APE, .WV, .TAK and more.
- In Analyser's format library, .UMX sits in the Audio category.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify many more audio formats: lossless/hi-res codecs (Monkey’s Audio, WavPack, TAK, True Audio, DSD/SACD, Musepack), pro containers (Core Audio, RF64/BW64, Wave64, Sun AU, Broadcast Wave with timecode), speech/mobile (Speex, AMR-WB, QCP, 3GA, M4R, GSM), MPEG Layer I/II, instrument banks (SoundFont, SFZ, DLS, RIFF MIDI, GigaStudio), ringtones (RTTTL, iMelody, SAP), tracker modules (MOD, XM, IT, S3M, OctaMED, 669, Oktalyzer), chiptunes (NES NSF, SNES SPC, VGM, Game Boy GBS, AY, YM) and Audacity projects.
- Depth of analysis
- .UMX is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .UMX file
- Drag a .UMX file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
