SOUNDTRACKER(1)		    General Commands Manual	       SOUNDTRACKER(1)

NAME
       soundtracker - a	tracker	for gnome that supports	.xm files

SYNOPSIS
       soundtracker

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	documents briefly soundtracker.

       This  manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution be-
       cause the original program does not have	a manual  page.	  Instead,  it
       has  some  documentation	 in  /usr/share/doc/soundtracker which will be
       more uptodate than this man page.

       soundtracker is a program that allows one to arrange many sound samples
       into a tune, comprising of multiple `tracks' which are mixed  together,
       typically in software.

USING
       Note  that some functions are only accessible using the keyboard. These
       are all important key combinations, mostly inspired by the great	 Amiga
       ProTracker (most	alphanumeric keys are mapped to	a piano	keyboard):

SEE ALSO
       If  you want to know more about tracking	in general, http://www.united-
       trackers.org/ has a lot of resources.

       Also see	the SoundTracker homepage, http://www.soundtracker.org/

       SoundTracker still needs	detailed documentation.	If you	want  to  help
       out  with this, you should become familiar with DocBook or similar SGML
       tools first.
