The program also is capable of opening other sample formats developed by Pixel (.ptnoise and .ptvoice) in addition to some more popular audio formats, such as .wav and .ogg.[1] The primary interface of the program is a piano roll display. It is used to place notes and specify duration, volume, panning, and pitch, among other things. The tempo of a song can be set once, but it cannot be changed during playback (or at any point in the song other than the beginning). The .ptcop and .pttune formats also allow the storage of some additional information, such as song comments and song name.
Along with PxTone Collage are included several programs for creating instrument samples (.ptnoise and .ptvoice format) and a small player application. Included with these programs is the PxTone engine library. The source code for said audio processing engine can be downloaded separately.
