+== 2007-08-21 (Tuesday) - Oscillator mode comparison etc ==
+Compared the used oscillator modes in the Apple IIGS AGI games from
+both the instruments and samples:
+I found these used combinations of modes:
+* Both waves (A and B) in an oscillator use the same mode:
+** Oneshot (Used very much by samples and by a few instruments (Probably drums, I presume))
+** Loop (Used quite much by samples, very much by instruments)
+** Loop + Halt (The only thing using this is the unique instrument that has four oscillators)
+** Swap (The only thing using this is the unique instrument that has four oscillators)
+* Wave A and B in an oscillator use different modes:
+** Oneshot / Loop + Halt (Used quite much by samples and by a few instruments)
+** Loop / Loop + Halt (The only thing using this is Police Quest I's sample 12)
+** Swap / Swap + Halt (The only thing using this is Gold Rush's sample 60)
