This is the earlier version that was used in one game, where the playback of music is done entirely on the SPC side.

The game in question is this:

Game Name	VCMD Code Location	ROM Offset

Instrument Format

Instruments are stored as eight byte entires as following:

xx yy zz zz aa bb cc dd

• xx is a direct write to the VxVOLL DSP register.
• yy is a direct write to the VxVOLR DSP register.
• zz zz is a direct write to the VxPITCH DSP registers, stored in little endian.
  • For music, these values are only referenced for pitch when dd is $80 (otherwise it uses a pitch table).
  • For SFX, these values are always referred to.
• aa is a direct write to the VxSRCN DSP register.
• bb is a direct write to the VxADSR1 DSP register.
• cc is a direct write to the VxADSR2 DSP register.
• dd's purpose depends on whether it's being used for music or sound effects...
  • For music, it defines an offset to a tuning table. The tuning table entry itself consists of a single 16-bit value to multiply the pitch by.
  • For SFX, the byte is unused, and was either supposed to be gain or priority.
