ProTrekkr (formerly known as NoiseTrekker by Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius aka Arguru) is
 a tracker program combining a software synthesizer together with a traditional samples
 tracker which can be used to create electronic music (like psytrance, trance goa,
 hard acid, IDM, chip, techno, etc.) for small sized intros, demos or games.
 
 Currently the tracker is available on Windows, Linux, Amiga OS4, AROS and Mac OSX.
 
 Check the [http://code.google.com/p/protrekkr/wiki/introduction manual] for more infos.

----==Recent history.txt entries:=====V2.5.4===

   and the whole commmand column is now properly filled with the first value.
 - Input was partially disabled when caps lock was turned on.
 - Using right mouse button on "pattern lines" arrows will now increase/decrease value by 8.
 - F5 to F9 keys now jumps to 0, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 of the patterns lines.
 - Changed the way the number of patterns is calculated when saving a song,
   the tracker now looks for any used (scratch) patterns and save them within the .ptk module.
 - Fixed an issue in digibooster import function which was due to a MSVC compiler quirk.
 
===V2.5.3===
 - 303 units speeds can now be scaled.
 - Added effects 26 & 27 (set reverb cutoff & resonance).
 - Some notes were missed in multi-notes channels sometimes.
 - Fixed a bug occuring with automatic note offs on the synth.
 - Ptk can now import DigiBooster v1.x modules (.digi).
 - Tracker could hang sometimes when calculating a song length.
 
===V2.5.2===
 - Slightly improved the smoothing of the reverb (making it sound a bit less metallic).

 - Tracks are only shadowed during playing.
 - Added cutomizable resonance for reverb filter.
 - Tracker could crash when loading an instrument over another one
   which was still playing.

   of any existing old module version before overwriting the new one.
 - Reverb threshold delays table was lacking some values.
 
===V2.5.0===

   as they're used for midi output.
 - Added 3 new themes.
 - Tracker sometimes crashed at exit when using midi.

   when updating track tab during play.
 - Fixed up reverb code (should sound cleaner too)
   and added stereo separation parameter.
 - Flanger speeded up.
 - Right mouse button in lists arrows is now active
   (jump to previous/next letter group for files lists).
 - Added 13 new (converted) modules for testing purposes
   also improved (?) older modules to take advantage of new features.
 - A file name can now be passed as argument to the tracker, it will
   be loaded at startup (can load any file recognized by the tracker).
   (this can be used to associate .ptk files to the tracker).

   from a midi device (like a master keyboard).
 - Added effect 25: Set shuffle value.
 - Metronome implemented (used during recording).
 - Fullscreen mode is now used with current screen resolution.
 - Handled latency at recording startup (so visuals should be synched to audio).
 - Fixed midi handling for big endian machines.
 - Fixed a bug in the reverb that only occured on big endian machines.
 
===V2.1.4===
 - Added duplicate function to samples editor: increase sample by selection length
   and copy it's content into the newly created space.
 - Added Insert function to samples editor: increase sample by selection length
   and insert zeroes into the newly created space.
 - Looks like the signal reduction hack is no longer necessary on Linux.
 - Linux 32 bit executable now available.
 
===V2.1.3===
 - Window can now be resized.
 - Zero command added to sample editor (used to clear selections without removing them from samples).
 - Fixed a small issue with patterns blocks selection.

 - Fixed a bug that could freeze the tracker under AROS (& possibly Amiga OS4).
 
===V2.1.2===

 - Fixed 06xx command (was always jumping 1 line too far).
 - Added loading support for 1, 2 & 3 channels FastTracker I modules.
 - Added flight.ptk & warlock.ptk.
 
===V2.1.1===
 - Patterns slider wasn't always properly resized when switching
   from large to small patterns view.
 - Some buttons weren't properly disabled in Disk IO tab.
 - Added buttons to reduce or expand the number of notes in each track header.
 - Max number of notes in a track is now 16.
 
===V2.1.0===
 - Fixed 2 bugs in the replay (which can now be slightly smaller).
 - Lengths of individual packed waveforms are now displayed.
 - Songs can now be rendered to wav files (like before)
   or directly used to create instruments waveforms.
 - Added primitive.ptk by Mice of Brainstorm.
 - Fixed a bug in the sample editor which prevented it to work properly
   with waveforms of more than 2 megabytes.
 - In continuous scroll mode, the patterns scrollbar (& the arrows) 
   now reflect the global length and can be used to browse through entire song
   (and not just the current pattern like before).
 - Implemented an internal compression scheme (based on wavpack) so
   samples packing is available on every platforms.
   The compression is rather good but the depacker is bigger than when using
   codecs (a few kb kkrunched).
 - Properties.h files weren't always saved at the right place.
 
===V2.0.2===
 - Moog Lo & Moog band filters buffers weren't resetted properly
   resulting in some "scratchy" sound sometimes.

   - Zap (delete a selected part of a waveform without copying it).
   - Select view / Select all.
   - Reverse (invert the selected part of a waveform).
   - Selection shifting.
 - Added position jump effect (1F) (Can be combined with pattern break (0D)).
 - Added fine volume slide up and down effects (20 & 21).

 - Speed can now go up to 32 ticks/beat.
 - BPM weren't refreshed properly on screen when being changed inside patterns.
 - Multi-notes channels weren't re-initialized properly when loading new modules
   which could lead to a crash.
 - Instruments used without notes won't retrig the note but only change
   the waveform (like in the original protracker).

   and they won't jump back to the top after a saving one either.
 - Fixed a bug in Pattern loop command (6).
 - Splitted the play button into 2, 1st one to play song,
   2nd one to play pattern, right mouse button on those to play song
   or pattern from current row (using left mouse button starts from top row).
   Shortcuts:
     RCTRL: Play song from start of pattern.
     LSHIFT + RCTRL: Play song from current position.
     RALT: Play pattern from start of pattern.
     LSHIFT + RALT: Play pattern from current position.
 - Added transposing capability to the instruments remapping function.
 - Changed LCTRL+H & LCTRL+LSHIFT+H to LCTRL+K & LCTRL+LSHIFT+K.
 - Default patterns zoom is now selectable.
 - Effect 10 (Delay send) was inneffective when Track tab was selected.
 - Overall better accuracy in replaying and volume ramping.
 - Global volume of instruments weren't saved in .pti files.
 - Using non existant instruments in patterns should now be handled properly.
 - Converted some tunes from FastTracker 1 for test purposes.
 - Instruments amplifications are now modulating synths only when necessary
   (meaning: only when the instruments are going through the synths).
 - Volumes columns and effect 3 are now calculated differently
   and are cummulative:
 
      c-3  0 .. .. ........
   
   will play instrument 0 at it's former volume.
 
      c-3  0 20 .. ........
   
   will play instrument 0 at roughly 50% of it's volume.
 
      c-3  0 .. .. 0380....
   
   will play instrument 0 at roughly 50% of it's volume.
 
      c-3  0 20 .. 0380....
   
    will play instrument 0 at roughly 25% of it's volume.

   (now it takes the last played note as it should).
 - Rewrote the latency handling routines in a more robust & precise way.
 - Fixed the right mouse button caret horizontal scrolling.
 - Added effect 24: turn flanger on/off.
 - Salvaged 3 NoiseTrekker beta version modules,
   they really don't sound like in the original one as i had to rework them, though.

 - Fixed a small issue with keyboard handling in message boxes.
 - Added Moog Lo & Moog band filters for synth instruments.
 - Fixed a bug in .ptp saving & replay: some instruments infos were scrambled.
