TrackIt v0.0.1 "readme"

This project is dead. Nonetheless, some people (especially someone named Apple
Rebel) wanted to see how far it went. So here it is.

1- Launch TrackIt

Because of some problems with ProDos, it may work or not. For instance, from
basic, if you do "-trackit.system" it won't work; but launching TrackIt using
"bye" will.

2- Play with the pull down menus

Don't read the stuff in the pull down menus, you're breaking into my intimacy!
However I did not bother erasing all that junk. Probably every program you use,
once had this appearance while it was in its testing stage.

3- Play with the editor

The routine for clearing the editor was done but it's more interesting to scroll
garbage than scroll vacuum. Note the speed: TrackIt is 100% assembly. Note the
quality: I worked hard on screen output routines that are totally flicker free.
It even uses interrupts to do so. You won't see any flicker while playing around
with TrackIt, guaranteed!

4- Try "Sound/Load Instruments"

You should be able to go anywhere in your disks. But whatever you do will end
loading the file "touch".

5- Try "Sound/Try Instruments"

This is the heart of TrackIt. I thought it would be the best program since I
figured a way to get 15 voices, no "clicks", size of samples limited by RAM and
not DOC RAM. (for comparison, SoundSmith is yes-yes-no, and NoiseTracker is
no-no-yes). Unfortunatly, this is only a quick test-version and clicks do occur
if you play too hard. TrackIt may even crash if you produce even more notes!

6- Quit with "File/Quit"

You may have to reboot instead. Sorry but this is not even a beta version!

So that's it! I just hope this ware will not reformat your hard drive. If it
does, please don't blame me, it was not intended. i.e.: Use this sequence of
bytes, usually called a program, at your own risks!
