    When hacking the DS to 13 this allows 13 direct sounds. Does a multi sample track use 2 of those tracks?

    It depends on your midi. If you have two notes playing simultaneously then yeah, more than one will be used then. But if it's just one note at a time it's one channel at a time. And the max is 12, not 13.

    • Thanks for the great tutorial, GoGo. This helped me a ton, since I was stuck at the whole Anvil Studio instrument number thing. Damn, I feel like a moron for not knowing that sooner, :P.

    • Edit: Well new problem guys, I exported a track but it only gave me 2 tracks when I know there needs to be more. I tested another midi and it gave me about 7 or 8 so I don't know why that midi is only giving me 2. Please help

    Your song name has a space in it, making the compiler think it's 2 commands. Use a _

    I tried this but it still only gave me 2 tracks. Could be that Sappy can't work with this midi? I think I remember that Sappy can't support all midis or something like that.

    For reference my midi is written like this Crossing_Field.midi. You mean like that right?

    Yes, Crossing_Field is good.
    Sappy CAN work with midis, it's just that mid2agb didn't convert the other tracks most likely because
    1 The tracks use the same channel in the midi, so they merged together
    2 Your midi is broken or has unsupported events. To fix it do the repair song feature of Anvil studio then save again.

    • I have a simple question regarding multi sample key range. So in your tut, you said 0-48 was 49 byte. So what if the range is 28-28, would it be 0 or 1?

    That's 1 byte. It's a byte, it's not like it does exist lol

    Hey Gogo, finally getting the hang of it but I'm not so good at the Drum Part in sappy. Is is possible for you to give a little guidance on that part? In the tutorial you say it is similar to a multi but some drums in songs don't go through the entire key range (eg some go from 33-65). Also in hex editor do you select 128 bytes and fill them in accordance to the samples?

    The drums and multis are similar, but drums don't use the secondary table that multi's do. So drums are just regular voicegroups that don't apply frequency changes basically.

    Did you change the MODT in each track? If not, it'll sound extremely bent up.

    In your .s file for your song, go to each track and put this line at the beginning:
    .byte MODT, 2
