NAME

       goattracker - C64 music editor

SYNOPSIS

       goattracker [songname] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the goattracker command.

       goattracker  is  a  C64  music  tracker.   It supports emulated output via the software reSID engine, the
       HardSID soundcard, or the Catweasel (MK3/MK4) controller card, and  produces  songs  in  its  own  format
       (*.SNG).  The  program  can  also  export  tunes  in  SID format, BIN format, or Commodore PRG format for
       inclusion on a floppy you can stick into a 1541/1571/1581 drive.

       Like most tracker programs, the program is able to import  instrument  files,  create  and  modify  track
       patterns,  set  the  order  of  playback of patterns and change details of the song such as the title and
       author. If you are familiar with tracker-like programs, then GoatTracker will feel like a simple  version
       of those, though with differences attributable to the hardware. People new to composing in general should
       look up other information on composing on the C64.
