Description
StudioFM BASiC is a BASIC extension for MSX2 and higher. It requires a built-in or external MSX-MUSIC soundchip and comes with the Studio FM utility, released in 1991 by the MSX-Engine team.
This extension can only be used with the .MUS files created by this utility. These files are very small, compared to the FAC Soundtracker .MUS format, because Studio FM use patterns to reduce wasted space. Note that you can also find Studio FM files with another extension, for example .SFM.
The installation of this extension is very easy: you just need to enter BLOAD"SFMDRV1.BIN",R.
