I just got my copy of LSDJ today and – not having used a “Tracker” before – had a difficult time understanding the basic structure of the program. I've created this basic diagram in the hopes of helping other beginners to better understand the building-blocks of LSDJ. If anyone can make this page look more attractive, please do!
