→Linking
With the linking option you can play a new note without 'striking' it. It is therefore smoothly switched from the previous note to the new note. You can enter a link by pressing the [L], then you indicate with an 'offset' to which note to enter, this offset is between -9 and +9. You can enter this with the [+] or [-] and the digit keys. The offset is "canceled" at the current tone and is specified in semitone intervals (this is equal to the difference in pitch between two keys on a piano, where the black keys count).

These are the channels FRQ (frequency), VLM (volume), SAM (sample) and DRM (drum). Here too, the last entry is under the [RETURN] key, for each channel separately.
The first three columns (FRQ, VLM and SAM) are intended for the MSX-AUDIO sampler and therefore do not have to be used by people who only own an MSX-MUSIC.
In the SAM column the values can be 1 to 14, these values are stored on the sample blocks (see Chapter 5). If there is a 1 in the SAM channel, then sample block 1 will be played, there will be a 2, sample block 2 etc.
==== Drumset switch (MSX-MUSIC only)====
The drum sets (see Chapter 6) are exchanged with the [D] key followed by the number of the drum set (1,2 or 3). This is shown in the pattern with DSET, for example 'DSET2'. If a DSET is given, clan then it will change the frequency of the FM Drums. These frequencies are adjusted in the FM-Drum menu (chapter 6). The initial setting is DSET1.

==== Copying patterns, channels ====
A number of patterns can be copied to another location in the song using the [CTRL] - [P] keys. First you will be asked which pattern you want to copy, then the plants place where this pattern needs to be copied and finally the number of patterns is requested. So if you want to copy patterns 4, 5 and 6 to 10, 11 and 12 then you first use the [CTRL] - [P] after that you type in: [4] [RETURN], then [1] [0] and for the number of patterns [3] [RETURN].
Channels can also be copied, to a channel in the same pattern. It can also be specified how it must be moved up. about the source channel (echo-steps). This can be done with the [CTRL] - [C] keys. Beware: no block may be defined (see 3.5).
==== Changing two channels ====
==== Transpose of channels ====
Channels can be transposed per half tone distance or per octave at the same time. This can be done with the [.] Or [+] key for incrementing with a semitone distance, while the [,] or [+-] decreases the channel by another half tone pitch. Increasing an octave can decrease by [>] or [CTRL] + [+] with [<] or [CTRL] + [-]. The channel where the cursor is located will then be raised / lowered.
