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 because
     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, typ-
     ically in software.

     Note  that some functions are only accessible using the keyboard. These are
     all important key combinations, mostly inspired by  the  great  Amiga  Pro-

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.
