TRACK PROPERTIES.(F3)
(for global keys, look at the bottom)

Here you create/select/edit tracks, and its respective instruments
if you press the keys (under any non enditable widget) you'll
be able to hear the instrument using the same keys as if you were
editing a track.

Basics:

Tracks: track names, click here to select the track being edited
Name: editable box to change the track name
Move Up: move the track up by 1 row (in pattern screen too)
Move Down: move the track down by 1 row (in pattern screen too)
New Track - creates a new track
Remove Track - removes a track (be careful!)
Mute - mutes the track
Reset - sends midi reset to the track

Keyboard Shorcuts:

Page Up - next instrument
Page Down - previous instrument

Track Properties:

Selecting an Instrument:

Aviable User Devices: This combo shows the aviable user devices. Pick one
and the aviable banks/patches for it should appear.
Banks in Device: Shows the aviable banks in the device. Pick one and the 
patch list of the bank should appear.
Selected Patch: here you select the actual patch (instrument).
Midi Channel: MIDI has 16 possible channels per device. Usually channel
10 is meant for drums.

Changing Initial data:

Default Volume: When you write a note in the pattern screen and you dont
specify the volume (and leave the field blank instead) this value is used.
Global Volume: Every note played will pass through this at the moment of playing.
if 127, then no volume alteration will be made, if less, the volume will be scaled
down progressively yo zero.
Volume/Post Note action: Usually, this is what will be used for channel volume
(volume column when no note is present and effects Dxx,Rxx)
Volume Behavior: When this is normal.. volume works normally (go redundancy :)
the Tracker Emulation replaces velocity by channel volume.. (whathever is specified
in the option above) this way you get nicer  control of the volume, but at a cost:
mutilayered instruments will sound bad (since velocity is allways 127) and using
more than one column for the track will be disastrous :)

Initial Variables:

Here you can set the initial values of some variables (for now, controllers only..
maybe sysex and commands in a future). also notice that values go from 0-127
(real midi values).. i should write an hex spinbutton someday :).
