S3M is the file format used by the popular ScreamTracker 3 PC music tracker.

The S3M format is an advanced module format, and is the successor to the STM format used by the original ScreamTracker. Both formats are based on the original MOD format used on the Commodore Amiga computer.

S3M improves on its predecessors by supporting:

  • More channels (32 instead of 4 in MOD/STM)
  • More instruments (99 instead of 31 in MOD/STM)
  • More effects, such as stereo panning
