.SH USAGE

Tembro (which is Esperanto for musical "Timbre") is a virtual software instrument based on
samples. All instruments are permanently built-in, there is no option to load your own files.
New instruments are only added with new releases, old ones are never removed.

That makes Tembro reliable, predictable, portable and compatible.
All projects and all users have the same "instrument" with the same instrument sounds,
numbering system, midi controls etc.

Only "soft" settings, such as filters, can be changed dynamically and will be saved in your project.

At the moment this software is in its ALPHA phase. You need to manually download instrument
files from https://laborejo.org/downloads/tembro-instruments/ . Do not unpack the .tar files!
Download them to a location of your choice set the sample file location from within Tembros Edit
menu. Then restart the program.
.SH EXAMPLES
Start tembro through NSM, e.g. through Agordejo. This will take care of all
settings and save directories.

Other modes of operations, mostly for testing, are:

Run without session management and save in /tmp. 
    tembro --save /tmp

Run without audio and midi. Skips all JACK checks. Used to just look at the GUI, e.g. to make screenshots
    tembro --mute
