The program is not brand new, it's from 1992 in its current form. Previous versions were published by Data Becker (yuck) in 1991 and later by some other German distributor. There never was an English manual. The README (LIES MICH) has some basic info. (The reason for the recent upload to Aminet are only minor changes, eg the installer. There is a changelog in the Aminet-Readme.)

The most important gadgets are

PLAY: START and WATCH

EDIT: ROW

The program uses macros instead of patterns. Macros apply to one channel only. The four/eight rows of numbers you see when you load a tune are the "tracks", ie the numbers of the macros to play on each channel.

Click on EDIT:ROW and move the cursor over those numbers, click again to edit a row of macros.

In the Macro editor: Line one Instrument, Lines 2&3: Note (octave), Line 4: Volume.

Give it 30 mins, you'll understand pretty soon how it works.

There is also a sample editor ("Inst/LFO-Editor" from the track editor).
