!Tracker/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

APTracker: Complete SoundTracker Editor
By Andrew Pepperell

APTracker is a complete editor for SoundTracker files, and has been placed in the public domain. Run this application to open a directory containing the APTracker application and an example tune.

To actually do anything in APTracker, you really need to have a tune loaded. Double-click on the !APTracker icon to load the editor, and drag the example tune to the iconbar to load it. You can then play the tune by clicking Select over the icon, edit it by clicking with Adjust, or get other information on it via the iconbar menu. A comprehensive on-line help facility is included (with search facility), and the program is mouse-driven wherever possible.

To display the on-line help, load a tune and click Adjust over the icon, and then click on the Information icon in the Tracker screen.
