We now know how many bars there is and how the music phrases will repeat. This implementation does not parse segments and coda properly so the realtime playback is different from what I wrote. Sorry about it. |

| + | T10 - Tempo - number of VBL interrupts that makes up a single time slot. The smaller you set this number, the faster the music plays. | ||
| + | X7 - waveform. This describes how the feedback links are connected to the polyphonic sound generator. - I don't get it either. | ||
| + | I0 - a letter I plus zero means a square wave, a one means a triangle wave. Triange has a smoother sound. | ||
| + | V100 - volume. Max is 127, min is 0 | ||
| + | O2 - octave from 0 to 5. 5 is very low and 0 very high. | ||
| + | R0 - envelope ramp up | ||
| + | H0 - envelope hold note | ||
| + | K3 - envelope ramp down | ||

| In ABCmusic we need to code every one of these 3 melodies to a string. You can omit white space and bar lines without repeats to save space. | In ABCmusic we need to code every one of these 3 melodies to a string. You can omit white space and bar lines without repeats to save space. | ||
