What is ULT file?

The file with the extension ULT is the Audio Files file type. In addition to this file, the Audio Files category includes 771 related files. UltraTracker Module is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. This file type can also be opened by 6 other programs. Winamp, Awave Studio, MikMod, Schism Tracker will apply when it is not possible to use CocoModX.

How to open ULT file?

The main problem with UltraTracker Module is that the ULT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ULT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ULT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install CocoModX

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CocoModX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CocoModX in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ULT files.

Step 2. Create association of CocoModX with ULT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ULT file to open in the CocoModX application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ULT file with the CocoModX program.

Step 3. Update CocoModX to the latest version

If, however, after binding CocoModX with UltraTracker Module there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ULT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ULT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ULT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ULT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ULT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ULT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ULT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ULT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
