The Music ROM is stored on disk B in directories '4.' and '5.' These directory numbers correspond to the correct slot to load the images in on the Master. The general formula for placing the images in the correct slot is to load the images into adjacent slots where the first image is in the slot with the lower number.
A small program is provided from the Fast Access menu to load the ROM into slots 4 and 5 on the Master. The program can easily be altered to use other sideways RAM system load commands.
Once the Image has been loaded and the machine has been reset the *HELP Music command will display the list of commands available from the BAD music ROM.
*BAD
This command starts the music running.
*KEEP
This causes the music to continue through break.
*SILENT
This stops the music.
*RESUME
Continues after a pause.
*RESYNC
This command is to be typed in until the music sounds correct if the music is not playing correctly after pressing break. If typing this more than 8 times does not work, then the music should be *SILENTed.
*INCREASE
Increases the speed of play.
*DECREASE
Decreases the speed of play.
*MSTATUS
A status page indicating position, speed, and channel contents.
*GRAPH
A graphical representation of the music.
*FINISHON
Causes the music to stop after playing once.
*FINISHOFF
Causes the music to restart after finishing (default).
