The S-DSP has five gain modes, to which Nintendo gave official names[1], but they are numbered differently by different emulator authors.

nocash numbers the gain modes with bits 5 & 6 of VxGAIN.[2] Note that direct gain mode uses these bits for the fixed volume instead and thus has no number in this scheme.

Near numbers the gain modes with the top 3 bits of ADSR(1).[3] Note that when bit 7 is clear, bits 5 & 6 are "don't care" and thus Modes 0-3 are actually all the same - direct gain.

Official Nintendo Name nocash numbering/naming Near numbering/naming
Direct Designation Direct Gain Modes 0-3 (direct)
Increase Mode (Linear) Mode 2 = Linear Increase Mode 6 (linear increase)
Increase Mode (Bent Line) Mode 3 = Bent Increase Mode 7 (two-slope linear increase)
Decrease Mode (Linear) Mode 0 = Linear Decrease Mode 4 (linear decrease)
Decrease Mode (Exponential) Mode 1 = Exp Decrease Mode 5 (exponential decrease)
