8.5.8.2.5 Waveform Sequencer

If the user uses pre-stored effects, the effects must first be loaded into the waveform sequencer, and then the effects can be launched by using any of the trigger options (see the Waveform Triggers section for details).

The waveform sequencer (see the Waveform Sequencer (Address: 0x04 to 0x0B) section) queues waveform-library identifiers for playback. Eight sequence registers queue up to eight library waveforms for sequential playback. A waveform identifier is an integer value referring to the index position of a waveform in the RAM library. Playback begins at register address 0x04 when the user asserts the GO bit (register 0x0C). When playback of that waveform ends, the waveform sequencer plays the next waveform identifier held in register 0x05, if the next waveform is non-zero. The waveform sequencer continues in this way until the sequencer reaches an identifier value of zero or until all eight identifiers are played (register addresses 0x04 through 0x0B), whichever comes first.

The waveform identifier range is 1 to 127. The MSB of each sequence register can be used to implement a delay between sequence waveforms. When the MSB is high, bits 6-0 indicate the length of the wait time. The wait time for that step then becomes WAV_FRM_SEQ[6:0] × 10 ms.
