8.2 Musical Note Data
Musical note data consists of 2 bytes and is stored in the Mask ROM’s User’s Data area, where a user can define
scale, note and the end-bit for a music phrase. Table 8.2 shows the coding format for musical note data.

Musical Scale Code
(1) Musical Scale Code
Musical scale code is defined at the second byte. The following equation shows output frequency from the Music
Generator circuit at 4.096 MHz external clock.
32
kHz (“N” is integer between 4 to 127)
(N + 2)
Co-relationship between “N” and musical scale can be calculated as follows:

N = 2
N7 + 2
N6 +2
N5 + 2
N4 + 2
N3 + 2
N2 + 2
N1 + 2
N0
When all values for N7 to N2 are set to “0”, no music is reproduced during the period specified by the note code.
At this instance, the values of N1 and N0 have no significance (Don’t care).
Table 8.3 shows major musical scales (keys) and their corresponding scale codes.
