Template Version

The template version is specified on track 1 row F0. If you hold Option and Down, once you reach the bottom, the version will be on the top left (represented via a Chain - 01 for example). Other reserved Chains are placed in song rows FD-FF.

Chains

I generally have 4 or 8 rows in my chains. Lately, I've been mostly using 4 row chains.

  • 00: Either 4 or 8 rows of Phrase 00 - depending on the song
  • 01: First row is Phrase 01. The remaining rows are Phrase 00. Either 4 or 8 rows - depending on the song
  • 02-EF: Available to use
  • F0: Placeholder row for Phrases F0-F7 which contain reserved tables
  • F1-F8: Reserved for future use
