- VRC6 instruments
-
- VRC6 are not compatible with 2A03 instruments. To create a VRC6 instrument,
- place cursor in a VRC6 channel and create a new instrument. The differences are
- no DPCM-support and 8 levels of the duty pulse setting.
-
- MMC5 instruments
-
- MMC5 is compatible with 2A03 instruments. The two square channels in MMC5 are
- identical to the 2A03 square channels, except for no hardware sweep function.
-
+ As no samples are stored in instruments (except for DPCM), a set of settings are available to customize the sound. These settings are defined through sequence-graphs. A sequence is a list of values that are applied to the channel at the same rate as the tick rate, shown in the main window. Default for NTSC is 60 FPS and PAL is 50 FPS.
