           !!! ATTENTION !!!

It seems to be Cryptoburners,the makers
of V3.15,  have no more interest to de-
velop the  project, so I have  made the
new  *Pro* Version. I am an coder since
1979 and  in  the scene since 1981, in-
volved in many projects, so you miss my
adress here.  But if  you have any sug-
gestions or  bug  reports, leave if you
can an  electronic  mail  in BIX or any
Osiris board worldwide.

              Have fun!        RD10/ORS

^28:20,00,29,50
                 PLST
                 ----
 The PLST is fairly simple to use.
 Listed here are all the samples in your
 Presetlist and their lengths.Just click
 on a name, and Protracker will ask for
 a disk called ST-01 through to ST-FF.
 Insert it, and the chosen sample will
 be loaded to the current sample dis-
 played at the left of the screen. Use
 the up/down arrow keys to move up and
 down in the PresetList. If you press
 shift or the right mousebutton,the PLST
 will move 10 presets at a time.

<-- DISK OP.2     DOWN     PRESET ED -->
^29:20,28,2A,50
 At the top the PLST shows the total
 number of samples from the selected
 sounddisks.There are some PLST gadgets:

 ## CLEAR ##
 Will clear all the sounddisk names you
 have entered, and display the whole
 PresetList.

 ## MOUNTL(IST) ##
 Will search your drives for disks
 called ST-**, and put the names into
 the ST-__ gadgets. ST-00 will not be
 mounted.

<-- DISK OP.2   UP/DOWN    PRESET ED -->
^2A:20,29,2B,50
 ## ST-__ ##
 There are three ST-__ gadgets where you
 can enter the numbers of the sounddisks
 you want to display in the PLST. Only
 the presets from the selected sound-
 disks will be shown. If you clear all
 gadgets (by pressing return or right
 mousebutton), or press "Clear",the PLST
 will revert to show all presets.

 ## T(OP) ##
 Will put you at the top of the preset-
 list.Holding the right mousebutton will
 put you at the previous character in
 the preset-list.
<-- DISK OP.2   UP/DOWN    PRESET ED -->
^2B:20,2A,00,50

 I didn't know what to change the other
 exitgadget to.

 Holding shift while pressing a key will
 put you in the list at the chosen
 position. This works in the DiskOp and
 Preset-Ed screens as well.
<-- DISK OP.2      UP      PRESET ED -->
^30:28,00,31,40
               PRESET ED
               ---------
 The preset editor is used for sorting
 and catalogueing your samples. All
 samples for use with Protracker should
 be on disks called "ST-01" to "ST-FF".
 When adding a disk to the presetlist,
 only these disks are recognized.

 Harddisk owners may want to add a
 directory. e.g. You've got a directory
 called "Supersamples", and you want to
 use the samples on PT... Simple. Assign
 "Supersamples" to ST-13 or whatever. In
 the box with "Disk:" and ST-__ in it,
<-- PLST          DOWN       SAMPLER -->
^31:28,30,32,40
 enter ST-13.Now type "DHX:supersamples"
 in the path box and press "add path".

 The path will be added as ST-13 in your
 presetlist, so everytime you need a
 sample from ST-13, it will be loaded
 from "Supersamples" instead. Simple?

                SETUP 1
                -------
 The setup screens were provided so that
 PT users could set up their own
 personal environment. We hope we have
 satisfied most of you. You've got 8
 on/off toggles,a split keyboard editor,
 a color palette and lots more. Choose
 what you want, and use "Save Config" to
 save your environment. On the next
 screen is a list of what will be saved
 in the config file.



<-- SAMPLER        DOWN      SETUP 2 -->
^51:40,50,52,60
 This will be saved in the config file:
 --------------------------------------
 Songs/Modules/Samples/Tracks/Patterns
 and Print paths&savemode, Colors,
 Keyrepeat, The 24 On/Off toggles, Split
 Keyboard data, Keyrepeat, Accidental,
 The eight external dos commands, Max
 PLST entries, Multikey channeltable,
 Effectmacros,CIA/VB timing,Tempo&Speed
 DMA wait and Tunetone+Volume.
 You can have up to 256 different config
 files. They will be saved as
 "PT.config-00", "PT.config-01" and so
 on. Set the confignumber in the

 can be used to execute dos commands.
 Each of the 8 commands can be up to 31
 letters long. Pressing the dot will
 browse through the commands. Holding
 the right button and pressing it will
 execute the command. Note that PT needs
 the command "run" to execute the other
 commands.This is because of commodore's
 stupid programming of the dos library
 function "execute". Type "endcli" to go

 ## TIMING ##
 We included this so that American users
 also could enjoy Protracker, and
 wouldn't have to use sonix or any other
 terrible music program...

 You can choose between CIA or Vblank
 timing. Vblank is the timing-method
 soundtrackers have been using since the
 dawn of time, while CIA is a much
 better and accurate timing with the
 tempo measured in beats per minute.
 Using Vblank on NTSC amigas will cause
<-- SETUP 1         DOWN        MIDI -->
^61:50,60,62,70
 the song to play 20% faster. With CIA,
 there's no difference.

 ## TEMPO ##
 This is where you set your default CIA
 timing tempo. Range: 32-255.

 ## SPEED ##
 This is where you set your default
 Vblank timing speed. Range: 01-FF.

 ## COPPER EDITOR ##
 The copper editor is for altering the
 colors of the VU-meters and the
 spectrum analyzer to your own liking.
<-- SETUP 1       UP/DOWN       MIDI -->
^62:50,61,63,70
 Select a color by clicking somewhere
 within the coppered stripe. Now use the
 R, G and B sliders to alter the color.

 ## SPREAD ##
 Will create an even gradient between
 the current color and the one you click
 on next.

 ## ARROWS ##
 Will rotate the whole copper stripe in
 the Y-axis (up/down).

 ## UNDO, CANCEL and DEF(AULT) ##
 Will work just like in the palette in
<-- SETUP 1       UP/DOWN       MIDI -->
^63:50,62,64,70

 ## MODS ##
 This is where you set your default
 modules path.

 ## SONGS ##
 This is where you set your default
 songs path.

 ## SAMPL(ES) ##
 This is where you set your default
 sample path.


<-- SETUP 1       UP/DOWN       MIDI -->
^64:50,63,65,70
 ## PTDIR ##
 This is the path for the helpfile, the
 PLST and the PT configfile(s).

 ## MAX PLST ##
 This is the maximum number of presets
 in your presetlist.

 ## DMA WAIT ##
 Use this on fast amigas to slow down
 the DMA enough to not miss any notes.
 If you set a too low value, you will
 miss some of the low notes! If you set
 a too high value, everything will be
 slowed down. 300 or a little less is ok
<-- SETUP 1       UP/DOWN       MIDI -->
^65:50,64,66,70
 on a normal A500 7.09 MHz (PAL). 900
 (approx.) is ok on an A3000 running at
 25Mhz.

 The tuning tone is for use with the
 sample editor. The note is what note
 to play the tuning tone at, and the
 number is the volume.

                 MIDI
                 ----
 Midi routines in Protracker 2.3 are
 still very limited. Midi in should work
 ok, though. To activate midi, you'll
 have to turn it on on the setup1
 screen. Use the three upper octaves on
 your synthesizer to play notes. Some
 keys in the lowest octave can be used
 to play/stop/record etc.

 We might fix better midi support in
 later versions of Protracker, but so
 far, this is uncertain... Read the
 PT.ReadMe! file for more info.

 Press 'POS' on the mainscreen to get to
 the Position-Editor. All the gadgets
 should be well known, pressing the big
 gadget at the top will stop the song.
 Keyboard input works too,Left Alt,Left
 Amiga,space and the cursor up/down
 arrows.You can use the Position,pattern
 and length gadgets on the main screen,
 or click in the list to alter the
 current pattern or to enter a name to
 each pattern if you'd like to. The
 Patternnames will be loaded/saved if
 you have the corresponding toggles ON
<-- MIDI        DOWN        EDIT OP. -->
^79:70,78,7A,80
 (load names,save names). The files will
 have the mod. exchanged to mod! just to
 distuingish them from the real modules.
 The patternnames will be cleared if you
 choose clear song or clear all.Another
 way is to click on each name you'd like
 to clear and then press the right mouse
 button. Patternplay works a little
 different from in the mainscreen.The
 pattern shown on the edit-row(the

 Edit op. Screen 1:

 ## TRANSPOSING ##

 What is transposing ?

 Transposing lets you shift the pitch of
 the notes up or down. E.g. Change a C-3
 to a C#3.

 In comparison to other trackers,
 Protracker lets you transpose in just
 about every way you can imagine.You can
 transpose either the current sample or
 all the samples in a track or pattern.
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^82:78,81,83,98
 To the right of the title bar is a
 small box with the letter "S" or "A".

 S - Only the current sample will be
     transposed.
 A - All the samples from $00-$1F will
     be transposed.

 To toggle between the two, click on the
 edit op. title bar.

 If the setup toggle "TransDel" is on,
 all the notes transposed out of range
 (C-1 to B-3) will be deleted. If not,
 they will not be transposed.
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^83:78,82,84,98
 Edit op. screen 2: (Record)

 ## RECORD ##
 PATT - Record current pattern only.
 SONG - When recording, PT will move
        through the patterns in the
        song, just like normal play.

 ## QUANTIZE ##
 Will move the notes you record to every
 n'th slot. Entering 00 will turn off
 the quantizing, and the notes you play
 will always be inserted at the pattern-
 position you are at. Entering 01 will
 quantize the notes the the nearest slot
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^84:78,83,85,98
 according to the speed. i.e. if you
 play a note after the first half has
 been played, it will be quantized to
 the slot below. Entering a value like
 8 will quantize to every 8th note, and
 so on. Got that?

 ## METRO(NOME) ##
 The first number is the speed of the
 metronome,and the second is the channel
 to play it on. The Sample used for
 metronomes is always sample $1F. Load
 your own favourite metronome sample.The
 metronome will always be played at C-3,
 but you can still change the volume and
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^85:78,84,86,98
 loop values. To turn off the metronome,
 just set the speed or channel to 00.
 V2.3: The metronome has a master toggle
 ALT+M.

 ## KEYS ##
 When MULTI, PT will jump to another
 channel after you play a note on the
 keyboard. This makes it possible to
 play two or more notes at the same time
 (very useful with midi). On the setup
 screen you can choose what channel to
 jump to after playing a note.


<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^86:78,85,87,98
 Edit Op. screen 2: (Samples)

 To the right of the title bar is a
 small box with the letter "T", "P" or
 "S".

 T - Copy & Exchange apply to current
     track only.
 P - Copy & Exchange will affect the
     whole pattern.
 S - Copy & Exchange will apply to the
     real samples in memory.

 To toggle between the two, click on the
 edit op. title bar.
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^87:78,86,88,98
 ## DELETE ##
 Will delete all notes with the current
 sample in current track or whole
 pattern.

 ## KILL ##
 Will kill the current sample. That is,
 remove it from memory and reset all
 sample settings. It will not be deleted
 from the track or pattern. You can also
 use the period (.) key on the numeric
 keyboard to invoke this function.

 ## EXCHGE (EXCHANGE) ##
 Will exchange the samplenumber shown in
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^88:78,87,89,98
 the "FROM" gadget with the samplenumber
 in the "TO" gadget and vice versa. "T"
 or "P" selects track or pattern. "S"
 exchanges the samples.

 ## MOVE ##
 Will move the samplenumber shown in the
 "FROM" gadget to the samplenumber in
 the "TO" gadget.


 Edit Op. screen 3: (Sample Editor)

 To the right of the title bar is a
 small box with the letter "H" or "C".
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^89:78,88,8A,98
 H - Will halve the volume when mixing
     and echoing to avoid clipping.
 C - Will not halve the volume. The
     sample may be clipped.

 To toggle between the two, click on the
 edit op. title bar.

 ## MIX ##
 Will mix one sample with another. PT
 asks you which two samples to be mixed,
 and where to put the result.

 Holding the right button and pressing
 mix will mix the current sample with
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^8A:78,89,8B,98
 itself. You can offset the sample by
 setting a position in the "pos" gadget.
 If you set "mod" to a non-zero value,
 the sample will also be modulated.

 ## ECHO ##
 Will create a echo effect on the
 current sample. Use "pos" to set the
 delay time of the echo.If you want more
 room to echo in, just turn up the
 length of the sample.

 ## BOOST ##
 Will turn up the treble of the sample.
 Use this on hi-hats and snares!
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^8B:78,8A,8C,98
 ## FILTER ##
 Will Delta-filter the sample. Use this
 on noisy basses.

 ## X-FADE ##
 Will crossfade the sample (mix with
 itself, backwards). Handy for looping
 samples that are hard to loop.

 ## BACKWD (Backwards) ##
 Will turn the sample backwards!

 ## UPSAMPLE ##
 Will remove every second byte of the
 sample, halving the length and shifting
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^8C:78,8B,8D,98
 the pitch one octave up.

 ## DOWNSAMPLE ##
 Will double every byte of the sample,
 doubling the length, and shifting the
 pitch one octave down.If you downsample
 samples longer than $7FFE,you will lose
 the end of them.

 ## POS ##
 This is just an offset in the sample,
 used for a lot of things.This one has a
 numbergadget as well.Holding the right

 the right button while pressing the
 numbergadget will zero the value.

 ## CUTBEG(INNING) ##
 Will chop the number of bytes set in
 the "POS" gadget off the beginning of
 the sample.

 ## FU (Fade Up) ##
 Will fade the volume from 0 to 100%.Use
 "POS" to select where in the sample to
 fade up to.
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^8E:78,8D,8F,98
 ## FD (Fade Down) ##
 Will fade the volume from 100 to 0%.Use
 "POS" to select where in the sample to
 fade down from.

 ## VOL ##
 With this you can change the "real"
 volume of the sample. Just set a
 percentage and press "VOL".VOL has a
 numbergadget.Holding the right button
 while pressing it will set the value to
 100%.

 ## CHORD ##
 Will put you in the Chord-maker.
<-- POSITION-ED UP/DOWN  CHORD MAKER -->
^8F:78,8E,00,98
 Edit Op.3 is now intended to be used
 with the new sample-editor. If a range
 is marked, some of the functions apply
 to the range only. If there's no range
 marked, the functions will affect the

 Cmd 0. Arpeggio [Range:$0-$F/$0-$F]
 -----------------------------------
 Usage: $0 + 1st halfnote add
           + 2nd halfnote add

 Arpeggio is used to simulate chords.
 This is done by rapidly changing the
 pitch between 3(or 2) different notes.
 It sounds very noisy and grainy on
 most samples, but ok on monotone ones.

 Example: C-300047  C-major chord:
           (C+E+G  or C+4+7 halfnotes)
          C-300037  C-minor chord:

<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^AB:98,AA,AC,D0
 Cmd 1. Portamento up [Speed:$00-$FF]
 ------------------------------------
 Usage: $1 + portamento speed
 Portamento up will simply slide the
 sample pitch up. You can NOT slide
 higher than B-3! (Period 113)

 Example: C-300103  1 is the command,
            3 is the portamentospeed.
 NOTE: The portamento will be called as
 many times as the speed of the song.
 This means that you'll sometimes have
 trouble sliding accuratly. If you
 change the speed without changing the
 sliderates, it will sound bad...
<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^AC:98,AB,AD,D0
 Cmd 2. Portamento down [Speed:$00-FF]
 -------------------------------------
 Usage: $2 + portamento speed

 Just like command 1, except that this
 one slides the pitch down instead.
 (Adds to the period).

 You can NOT slide lower than C-1!
 (Period 856)

 Example: C-300203  2 is the command,
            3 is the portamentospeed.


<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^AD:98,AC,AE,D0
 Cmd 3. Tone-portamento [Speed:$00-$FF]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: Dest-note + $3 + slidespeed

 This command will automatically slide
 from the old note to the new.
 You don't have to worry about which
 direction to slide, you need only set
 the slide speed. To keep on sliding,
 just select the command $3 + 00.

 Example: A-200000  First play a note.
          C-300305  C-3 is the note to
              slide to, 3 the command,
              and 5 the speed.
<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^AE:98,AD,AF,D0
 Cmd 4. Vibrato [Rate:$0-$F,Dpth:$0-$F]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: $4 + vibratorate + vibratodepth

 Example: C-300481  4 is the command,
       8 is the speed of the vibrato,
   and 1 is the depth of the vibrato.

 To keep on vibrating, just select
 the command $4 + 00. To change the
 vibrato, you can alter the rate,
 depth or both. Use command E4- to
 change the vibrato-waveform.

^AF:98,AE,B0,D0
 Cmd 5. ToneP + Volsl [Spd:$0-$F/$0-$F]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: $5 + upspeed + downspeed

 This command will continue the current
 toneportamento and slide the volume
 at the same time.Compatible with NT2.0.

 Example: C-300503  3 is the speed to
                turn the volume down.

          C-300540  4 is the speed to
                         slide it up.

^B0:98,AF,B1,D0
 Cmd 6. Vibra + Volsl [Spd:$0-$F/$0-$F]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: $6 + upspeed + downspeed

 This command will continue the current
 vibrato and slide the volume at the
 same time. Compatible with NT 2.0.

 Example: C-300605  5 is the speed to
                turn the volume down.

          C-300640  4 is the speed to
                         slide it up.

 Cmd 7. Tremolo [Rate:$0-$F,Dpth:$0-$F]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: $7 + tremolorate + tremolodepth

 Tremolo vibrates the volume.

 Example: C-300794  7 is the command,
       9 is the speed of the tremolo,
   and 4 is the depth of the tremolo.

 To keep on tremoling, just select
 the command $7 + 00. To change the
 tremolo, you can alter the rate,
 depth or both. Use command E7- to
 change the tremolo-waveform.

^B2:98,B1,B3,D0
 Cmd 9. Set SampleOffset [Offs:$00-$FF]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: $9 + Sampleoffset

 This command will play from a chosen
 position in the sample, and not from
 the beginning. The two numbers equal
 the two first numbers in the length
 of the sample. Handy for speech-
 samples.

 Example: C-300923  Play sample from
                       offset $2300.

^B3:98,B2,B4,D0
 Cmd A. Volumeslide [Speed:$0-$F/$0-$F]
 --------------------------------------
 Usage: $A + upspeed + downspeed

 Example: C-300A05  5 is the speed to
                turn the volume down.

          C-300A40  4 is the speed to
                         slide it up.

 NOTE: The slide will be called as
 many times as the speed of the song.
 The slower the song, the more the
 volume will be changed on each note.

<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^B4:98,B3,B5,D0
 Cmd B. Position-jump [Pos:$00-$7F]
 ----------------------------------
 Usage: $B + position to continue at

 Example: C-300B01  B is the command,
                 1 is the position to
                 restart the song at.

 This command will also perform a
 pattern-break (see 2 pages below).

 You can use this command instead of
 restart as on Noisetracker, but you
 must enter the position in hex!

<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^B5:98,B4,B6,D0
 Cmd C. Set volume [Volume:$00-$40]
 ----------------------------------
 Usage: $C + new volume

 Well, this old familiar command will
 set the current volume to your own
 selected. The highest volume is $40.
 All volumes are represented in hex.
 (Programmers do it in hex, you know!)

 Example: C-300C10  C is the command,
       10 is the volume (16 decimal).

^B6:98,B5,B7,D0
 Cmd D. Pattern-break
 [Pattern-pos:00-63, decimal]
-----------------------------
 Usage: $D + pattern-position

 This command just jumps to the next
 song-position, and continues play
 from the patternposition you specify.

 Example: C-300D00  Jump to the next
     song-position and continue play
            from patternposition 00.
      Or: C-300D32  Jump to the next
     song-position and continue play
    from patternposition 32 instead.

 Cmd E0. Set filter [Range:$0-$1]
 --------------------------------
 Usage: $E0 + filter-status

 This command jerks around with the
 sound-filter on some A500 + A2000.
 All other Amiga-users should keep out
 of playing around with it.

 Example: C-300E01  disconnects filter
                 (turns power LED off)

          C-300E00  connects filter
                  (turns power LED on)

 Cmd E1. Fineslide up [Range:$0-$F]
 ----------------------------------
 Usage: $E1 + value

 This command works just like the
 normal portamento up, except that
 it only slides up once. It does not
 continue sliding during the length of
 the note.

 Example: C-300E11  Slide up 1 at the
               beginning of the note.

 (Great for creating chorus effects)

^B9:98,B8,BA,D0
 Cmd E2. Fineslide down [Range:$0-$F]
 ------------------------------------
 Usage: $E2 + value

 This command works just like the
 normal portamento down, except that
 it only slides down once. It does not
 continue sliding during the length of
 the note.

 Example: C-300E26  Slide up 6 at the
               beginning of the note.

^BA:98,B9,BB,D0
 Cmd E3. Glissando Ctrl [Range:$0-$1]
 ------------------------------------
 Usage: $E3 + Glissando-Status

 Glissando must be used with the tone-
 portamento command. When glissando is
 activated, toneportamento will slide
 a halfnote at a time, instead of a
 straight slide.

 Example: C-300E31  Turn Glissando on.

          C-300E30  Turn Glissando off.

 Cmd E9. Retrig note [Value:$0-$F]
 ---------------------------------
 Usage: $E9 + Tick to Retrig note at.

 This command will retrig the same note
 before playing the next. Where to
 retrig depends on the speed of the
 song. If you retrig with 1 in speed 6
 that note will be trigged 6 times in
 one note slot. Retrig on hi-hats!

 Example: C-300F06  Set speed to 6.
          C-300E93  Retrig at tick 3
                    out of 6.

^C2:98,C1,C3,D0
 Cmd EC. Cut note [Value:$0-$F]
 ------------------------------
 Usage: $EC + Tick to cut note at.

 This command will cut the note
 at the selected tick, creating
 extremely short notes.

 Example: C-300F06  Set speed to 6.
          C-300EC3  Cut at tick 3
                    out of 6.

 Note that the note is not really cut,
 the volume is just turned down.

<-- CHORD MAKER   UP/DOWN   KEYBOARD -->
^C3:98,C2,C4,D0
 Cmd ED. NoteDelay [Value:$0-$F]
 -------------------------------
 Usage: $ED + ticks to delay note.

 This command will delay the note
 to the selected tick.

 Example: C-300F06  Set speed to 6.
          C-300ED3  Play note at tick 3
                    out of 6.

 If you use ED0, the note will be
 delayed a little anyway. You can play
 the same note on two channels, delay
 one, and get a nice flanging effect.

 Making Music
 ------------
 Any piece of music written with Pro-
 tracker is built up from patterns.
 Each pattern is built up from four
 tracks, one for each of the amiga's
 audiochannels.

 A pattern is 64 lines long. The magni-
 fied line is always the one you edit.
 If you need shorter patterns, use the
 patternbreak effect command.

<-- KEYBOARD     DOWN     PROTRACKER -->
^E1:D0,E0,E2,01
 A track is built up like this:

     32  C-3 01 C20
     /   \_/ |/ \_/
    /    /   |    \
  Pos Note Sample Effect cmd.

 The C-3 is the note being played at
 patternposition 32. 01 is the sample-
 number, and the three last digits are
 the effect command, in this case, set
 volume to $20 (C-Command, 20-Value).

 Protracker holds a table with info
 about the sequence in which the patt-
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E2:D0,E1,E3,01
 erns will be played. With the "Pos"
 gadget you determine your position in
 the table. With "Pattern" you define
 what pattern to play at that position.
 "Length" defines the total size of the
 table. The full sequence of Patterns
 is the Song. A song is built up from
 up to 64 different patterns, each
 being played at up to 128 different
 positions.

 The small gadgets labeled "I" and "D"
 are Insert and Delete. With them you
 can Insert or Delete a position from
 your song. The length of your song
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E3:D0,E2,E4,01
 will be adjusted automatically.
 Remember that the length of your song
 always must be one more than the last
 position, since the first position
 is 0.

 The "Are you sure ?" requester
 ------------------------------
 In addition to the gadgets, you can
 use "Y" or Return for Yes,
 and "N" or ESC for No.

 The Clear requester
 -------------------
 In addition to the gadgets you can use
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E4:D0,E3,E5,01
 "A" for All, "O" for Song, "S" for
 samples and "C" or ESC for Cancel.

 The text-input routine
 ----------------------
 Now this is really simple. Clicking on
 a textline will enable you to edit it.
 Some text lines are longer than they
 seem, so use the arrowkeys to scroll
 back and forth in the text. The text-
 input mode is just like an ordinary
 text editor. You can use backspace,
 delete, space and such. In text-input
 mode you can also use the numeric pad
 for entering numbers. Pressing the
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E5:D0,E4,E6,01
 right mousebutton will clear the text-
 line and exit the editing. Use ESC or
 return to just exit.

 The numbergadgets
 -----------------
 Click on them and type in the value
 (Hex or Dec).ESC or return aborts.

 Passing arguments from Workbench/CLI
 ------------------------------------
 When starting from CLI, you can type a
 modulename with a pathname(optional)
 as an argument. The modulename will be
 added to the modulepath stored in the
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E6:D0,E5,E7,01
 current config-file.
 E.g. If the modulepath is ST-00:modules
 and you pass crap/mod.fake as an
 argument, then the module
 ST-00:modules/crap/mod.fake will be
 loaded. When starting from Workbench,
 you can click on a project icon twice
 and the selected module will be loaded
 (presuming that the icon's default tool
 is PT2.3A.The module will be loaded
 from the modulepath in the current
 config-file regardless of in which
 directory the moduleicon is located.
 That is, you can have all modules in a
 directory and the icons in another
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E7:D0,E6,E8,01
 directory to prevent PT from loading
 all .info files into the file-list when
 you select LOAD MODULE.
 Pressing the moduleicon once, and
 holding shift while double-clicking on
 the PT2.3A icon also works as above.

 When inserting, pasting or join-pasting
 hold down shift to keep the cursor from
 jumping to the end of the block.
 e.g. shft+ctrl+P


<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E8:D0,E7,E9,01
 Holding shift while pressing ctrl+K
 (kill to end of track) will kill to
 start of track instead.
 Holding shift while pressing ctrl+
 shift-a will solo the current channel.

 Use Esc or right mousebutton to exit
 from a lot of things.

 Effect tips
 -----------
 You can set the volume without playing
 a note. e.g. ---01000
 This will set the volume for sample 1
 without trigging the note.
<-- KEYBOARD   UP/DOWN    PROTRACKER -->
^E9:D0,E8,EA,01
 Or try trigging the sample and sliding
 the volume down. e.g. C-301A08
                       ---01A08
                       ---01A08
 This will create a strange arpeggiato
 effect, like on "Cream of the earth"
 by Romeo Knight / RSI.
