Overview

FamiTracker is a Windows sound tracker style sequencer designed for creating NES/Famicom music. The music can be exported to NSF (Nintendo Sound Format) which is possible to play on the NES/Famicom hardware. A NSF player or NES emulator can be used to play these files on a PC/Mac.

This help file descibes the interface of the program and the targeted sound hardware.
There is also a wiki available with a FAQ, example songs and more information: http://www.famitracker.com/wiki/

You can always press F1 anywhere in the application to access the context sensitive help.
