Music on the MEGA65 in BASIC65

I'm really looking forward to code some games in BASIC. There is something charming about BASIC programming, and having improved and usable functionality will make it much more interesting.

Maybe someday we could release a nice BASIC type-in magazine for the MEGA65

I hereby pre-order 2 copies of the first issue.

Just a question, as you're demonstrating polyphony here - how does the SID channel get selected?

I just looked at the play sequence and my guesses are:

- O5 = octave #5

- I = eighth notes

- Q = quarter notes

- R = rest

- L = loop

- ABCDEFG = notes

I have no idea what "." means though, and I also don't know what "T0" means. And I don't know what defines the SID channels to be played on. Could be the "T0" but the sound effects are played on top of the melody, so I guess that's not it.

Take a look in the manual.

ah okay, I thought the PLAY command is so brandnew that it's not in the manual yet

The team is working so hard, that sometimes the manual is updated before the command is fully implemented by Bit Shifter (or Gurce with the PLAY command).

Great info! But, I’m afraid it’s posted in the wrong channel. Should be in the BASIC65 section, not BASIC10, adtbm

additional note: can “BASIC (M65 Mode)” please be renamed/corrected to “BASIC 65 (M65 Mode)”?
