The first time its is called, it will try and search for a MockingBoard.

However, it is noted that this can cause problems if a Z-80 card is installed.

The scanning routine might cause a hang if it encounters a Z-80 card before
|

it finds a MockingBoard. In order to make this robust, it might be best to
|

prompt the user to search for the MockingBoard, enter the actual MockingBoard
|

slot, or skip the MockingBoard and use the internal speaker.

The main routines for sequencing music are:
|
||||
|
||||
mbSequence(yield, func)
|
||||
spkrSequence(yield, func)
|
||||
noSequence(yield, func)
|
||||
|
||||
All three try and provide more functionality than would be present in
|
||||
previous music sequencers. The MockingBoard sequencer will attempt to play up
|
||||
to 9 tones per sound generator (18 if a MockingBoard II is found). Up to
|
||||
four notes will be played simultaneously on the internal speaker. In order
|
||||
to play more notes than the hardware normally supports, a technique using
|
||||
arpeggio (playing multiple notes in a quick sequence rather than concurrently)
|
||||
pulls off this feat. The sequencers will immediately return if a keypress is
|
||||
detected. Finally, during the sequencing, a background function can be periodically
|
||||
called every 'yield' time which has a resolution of a 16th of a second. Pass
|
||||
in zero for 'yield' and/or 'func' to disable any background calls.
