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.

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
D4: Volume for channel 3
D5: Volume for channel 4
D6: Volume for channel 5
D7: Volume for channel 6
D8: Volume for channel 7
D9: Volume for channel 8
DA: Volume for channel 9
DB: Volume for channel 10
DC: Volume for channel 11
DD: Volume for channel 12
DE: Volume for channel 13
DF: Volume for channel 14
E0: Volume for channel 15
E1: Volume for channel 16

Channel Tracks Table

19: Pointer to channel 0
1B: Pointer to channel 1
1D: Pointer to channel 2
1F: Pointer to channel 3
21: Pointer to channel 4
23: Pointer to channel 5
25: Pointer to PSG 1
27: Pointer to PSG 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

I'm not sure what x & y is but z is the Volume.
