NAME

propulse - crossplatform tracker compatible with Amiga ProTracker modules

SYNOPSIS

propulse [file]

DESCRIPTION

Propulse is a tracker for creating and playing Amiga ProTracker compatible modules (.MOD), using an interface inspired by Impulse Tracker and Schism Tracker.

It features a highly accurate playback engine based on 8bitbubsy’s work, itself derived from a disassembly of the original Amiga ProTracker firmware. Test cases such as black_queen.mod and MPT test modules play correctly.

An optional file argument can be passed to open a module directly on startup.

OPTIONS

propulse does not currently support command-line options beyond opening a file on startup.

•   Fully configurable keybindings, colour palettes, bitmap fonts, and screen layouts
