The Audition graphic filter file is a proprietary plugin format originally developed by Syntrillium Software for Cool Edit Pro and subsequently adopted by Adobe Systems. These modules function as internal components that enable specific audio effects, signal processing capabilities, and graphic equalization features within the digital audio workstation environment. As a legacy architecture, this format has largely been superseded by standardized VST and Audio Unit technologies, rendering it uncommon in modern audio production workflows.

Validation Code

How to validate .flt files in Python

Python
def is_flt(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid FLT by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x00, 0x01, 0x42, 0x41])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(4) == signature

How to validate .flt files in Node.js

Node.js
function isFLT(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x00, 0x01, 0x42, 0x41]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 4).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsFLT(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x00, 0x01, 0x42, 0x41}
    if len(data) < 4 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:4], signature)
}
