==== Instrument ====
In the voice menu (see chapter 4, Select voices), a maximum of 16 instruments with start volume can be selected. These 16 instruments can be alternated during song playback; this can be done with the [I] key. Hiema After this, enter a number between I and 16. The numbers behind the I correspond to the numbers in the list of selected voices. For MSX-MUSIC only one software voice can be played simultaneously, keep that in mind! See chapter 4 for more information about voices. In the pattern an instrument change is shown with an I ??, so for example 'I 7' Note: in addition to the instrument (voice) the volume is also changed!At the 'I ??' command does not become an 'OFF ??' given. Normally you always put an 'OFF ??' for an instrument change, otherwise it does not sound nice. You can use this to get special effects. Make own voices that differ only slightly from each other. With a command you can then transfer to the other voice with one voice during playback, this can give a great result.
Stereo settings
Behind the S instruction, which can be entered with the ?? [S] key, a 0, a 1 or a 2 can be set. ?? 's 0 ??' means that the channel will be switched to MSX-AUDIO, ?? 'S 1' to MSX-MUSIC, ?? 'S 2' stands for stereo (BOTH).
This setting will only be made if you have selected STEREO with [SELECT]. Otherwise, stereo settings will be ignored.
