okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for fasttracker2 — yes, the one and only, the icon, the moment. sit down, grab a snack 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

fasttracker2 — Fasttracker II clone to track music 🎹🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fasttracker2 file

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one file, one dream 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first of all, real talk: this manual page documents briefly the fasttracker2 command. brief. concise. a little tease, if you will. 😌

fasttracker2 is a clone of the original software from 1993 for MS-DOS. yes, 1993. vintage. archival. iconic. 🎀

and the way that this tracker ATE: it was able to load and save standard four channel MOD files, and not only that, bestie — it also handled extended MOD files with six or eight channels. those extended ones are identical to standard MOD files, aside from the extra channel data and the ID markers "6CHN" or "8CHN". so like, same file, same energy, just MORE channels and a lil ID marker situation going on. periodt. 💀✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • you can give a filename to load from the command line. that's the option. that's her. give her a file and she'll load it, no cap. 🫶
