# ZXBETA User Guide and Tutorial

ZXBETA is a music tracker software for the ZX81 with the [ZonX-81](http://localhost/product/zon-x-81/) sound system. The user guide and tutorial was published on my website a few months after the last issue of ZXzine, but I thought I would document it here for those that might have missed the announcement.
