=> R0 = pointer to first word of soundtracker/tracker module in memory (NB must be word-aligned)
R1 = length of module in bytes
<= R0 and R1 preserved
This call can be used by a non-multitasking application to specify an area of memory as a tune module, and thereby remove the need for a seperate file to hold a tune, and there is no need to claim a large amount of RMA space. Once this SWI is called, the module will be treated as if it was loaded in the module's own workspace.
When a soundtracker module is loaded, the pattern data is converted to Tracker format data (except for volumes which remain 0-64), so for the purposes of editing, as long as Tracker_ReadPos/Tracker_WriteSampleTable are used, the module can be considered as a Tracker module. When Tracker_Stop/*PlayStop is called, the data is converted back.
Important: You must tell the TrackerModule to forget the module if the memory will be overwritten, otherwise the module may crash. (*PlayStop or Tracker_Stop)
NB: This call will not work for programs running under the desktop if the module is loaded in user memory.
