The tune will automatically restart when all voices have finished. This gives
you plenty of time to change envelopes and filters. You can access the
Command line while the tune is playing but if meanwhile the tune ends it

Commands whilst playing. However, it is not safe to access files since the
results are not very predictable!
When a tune is playing you have probably noticed that the mini VMW has

Device (DED). It monitors the envelopes that are playing with each note in
every voice. If your tune has many envelope changes they provide a

the box is blank the notes in that voice will be playing with the envelopes
set in the EDITOR (or KEYBOARD). Press
W
to set all notes in that voice
to envelope 1. Notice how the DED displays envelope 1 for that voice. Now
set the other voices to envelope 1. Use
Z
and
X
to dial up the envelope 1
parameters. You can always change the envelope number whatever device
is highlighted. The sequence panel and DED should now look like this:-
As the tune is playing move round the devices and change the waveform
(pulsewidth) and ADSR graph… you can also change the
Tempo
and
Octave
settings for each voice. Great fun isn’t it? When you are changing
parameters make sure that the envelope number device shows one of the
