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.

!Help for TrackCTRL
---------------------
Congratulations on obtaining your copy of TrackCTRL.
This utility once installed on the iconbar with Stracker
will allow control of Soundtracker modules in the
following ways:-
1) Stereo positions may be set or changed
(MOUSE LEFT = +/-1, MIDDLE = +/-4, RIGHT = +/-8.)
2) Turn channels ON / OFF (allows 'build-up' of music.)
3) Pause the music.
4) Turn the internal-speaker ON/OFF.
5) Several TrackCTRL windows may be opened and by
moving the mouse-pointer over a window the settings
of Stereo-positions, channels etc automatically
become those of the host - great for a sudden
burst of sound.
Note : If a channel is turned OFF, the channel icon will
turn white, while ON it is black. This also applies
to the internal-speaker icon.
Bugs
----
a) The PAUSE button only disables sound output, but does
not stop the music playing in the background.
b) Even though channels may be turned off in the
TrackCTRL window, every time a module is loaded all
four channels will automatically be turned back on.
Acknowledgements
----------------
Thanks go to:-
Mark Drayton - for noticing that the PAUSE button doesn't
stop the music playing in the background.
Peter de Rivaz - (poor lad owns an Amiga!) for suggesting
the steps which each mouse button should give when setting
the stereo-postions.
All programming, graphics, desktop front-end, this rubbish
and initial idea by me (Jeremy Mears.)
