Volume Controll for each channel
10: Channel Volume
Channel tracks table stores offset for all 9 sound channels used by driver in the following order:
FM1, FM2, FM3, FM4, FM5, FM6, PSG1, PSG2, PSG3
Channel tracks cannot be skipped -- if the channel is unused, corresponding track should start with byte 0FFh (end of track marker).
Each FM/PSG track refers to patterns from patterns table by table entry number. Both tracks and patterns can execute coordinate flags.
10: Volume for channel 1
11: Volume for channel 2
12: Volume for channel 3
13: Volume for channel 4
14: Volume for channel 5
15: Volume for channel 6
16: Volume for PSG 1
17: Volume for PSG 2
18: Volume for PSG 3
Sharp X68000 Version
D2: Channel Volume
Channel tracks table stores offset for all 9 sound channels used by driver in the following order:
channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, channel 4, channel 5, channel 6, channel 7, channel 8, channel 9
channel 10, channel 11, channel 12, channel 13, channel 14, channel 15, channel 16
Channel tracks cannot be skipped -- if the channel is unused, corresponding track should start with byte 0FFh (end of track marker).
Each FMtrack refers to patterns from patterns table by table entry number. Both tracks and patterns can execute coordinate flags.
D2: Volume for channel 1
D3: Volume for channel 2

I just learned on how to repeat a pattern. The set up looks like this:
Note: this part is from asm from scratch.
Channel_0:
db repeat_pattern, 000h
If the number sets to $00, then it will repeat pattern_0. If the number sets to $10, then it will repeat pattern_10 like this:
Channel_0:
db repeat_pattern, 010h
Still in progress right now.
Sharp X68000 Version
The Channel Track Pointer starts at $01D2
E2: Might be the setup or something. It's different than the Genesis version.
$01D2: w ?
$01D4: w Pointer to channel
Value Definitions
$80-$DF Notes - Same as the Sharp X68000 Version. $E0-$FF Coordination flags - Same As the Sharp X68000 Version but it might be different.
