# cheesetracker(1)

sound-module tracking program

## NAME

cheesetracker - sound-module tracking program

## SYNOPSIS

*cheesetracker* \[filename\]

## DESCRIPTION

*cheesetracker* is basically a clone of the non-free DOS Impulse Tracker program. It is used to create sound modules, by combining sound samples in in such a way that when played it becomes music. It’s not hard to learn, just load up a few ready made files, and experiment with it. The files need to be in Impulse Tracker format (.it), or the cheesetracker native format (.ct). A good start for these modules is ⟨ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/music/⟩

## OPTIONS

This program takes only one argument, *filename*, to load at file at startup.

## AUTHOR

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. It was written by Sander Smeenk \< ssmeenk@debian.org ⟨mailto:ssmeenk@debian.org⟩ \>, with some modifications by Wesley J. Landaker \< wjl@icecavern.net ⟨mailto:wjl@icecavern.net⟩ \>. It is licensed under the same terms of the cheesetracker program itself.
