Description

AHX (Abyss' Highest eXperience) is a Protracker style tracker for the Commodore Amiga (and later for MS-DOS and Windows with WinAHX). It creates C64-like synthetic music, which is stored in modules with the extension .ahx. The module format was previously known as THX, but was changed for legal reasons.
