Sound data. To make a sound, the MakeSound passes the bytes in this table to OSWORD 7. These bytes are the OSWORD equivalents of the parameters passed to the SOUND keyword in BASIC. The parameters have these meanings: channel/flush, amplitude (or envelope number if 1-4), pitch, duration where each value consists of two bytes, with the low byte first and the high byte second. For the channel/flush parameter, the top nibble of the low byte is the flush control (where a flush control of 0 queues the sound, and a flush control of 1 makes the sound instantly), while the bottom nibble of the low byte is the channel number . When written in hexadecimal, the first figure gives the flush control, while the second is the channel (so &13 indicates flush control = 1 and channel = 3). So when we call MakeSound with A = 5 to make sound #5, this is what the routine effectively does: SOUND &10, -13, 4, 12 which makes a sound with flush control 1 on channel 0, and with amplitude -13, pitch 4 and duration 12. Meanwhile, sound #2 is like this: SOUND &13, 2, 220, 2 which makes a sound with flush control 1 on channel 3, using envelope 2, and with pitch 220 and duration 2. The two sound envelopes (1 and 2) are set up by the DefineEnvelope routine.
