The origin of module files is the Commodore Amiga, but they are often used on other systems, too. Module files are an attempt to connect the advantages of audio samples (high quality) and note-based music storage (small files) with each other. Each instrument is saved as a sample and played back according to the note data. This is why module files are very small, but sound much better then MID, ROL or CMF files.
There are two variations of the standard module format: Old files can only store a maximum of 15 samples. Later, the standard was extended to 31 samples. Apart from these two standard file types, there is a huge number of other, slightly different module formats.
