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.

Product : The HQ-Tracker System
Purpose : Professional open-ended sound system
Minimum req'mts : RISC OS 3.1 (or later)
1 MByte RAM

The HQ-Tracker system is, in a nutshell, a powerful and FULLY programmable
sound system (NOT "just another Tracker"), and this archive contains the
music editor only. The concept of the system is to allow ordinary users to
add to it's specification by writing software around the core system. It
is also possible to incorporate sound and music into your own products AT
NO EXTRA COST. HQ-Tracker is shareware, and Mycroft Software won't charge
royalties if you incorporate it into your own programs.
Registered users receive the full package, comprising of :
� 64-page manual (including a section on how to incorporate
sound/music into your own software - it's SO easy)
� !Example -> Shows how to incorporate sound/music using BBC BASIC
� !HQ-Bars -> Digital voice analysis
� !HQExtract -> Extracts various information from HQ files
� !LibMaker -> Full instrument library management software
� !ST-Ripper -> Imports sound/music from "Tracker" formats
� Some rather nice example music files
� Decent instrument libraries
� Free upgrades as and when available
