I don’t know if that’s an option in XROAR.

I ended up using the Orchestra-90 hack that uses the built-in 6-bit DAC instead of the two stereo 8-bit DACs of the hardware pack. But, the file I am trying to play has issues. I had to write a converter to change the ASCII music file to the format it expects, but it still has errors. 

This is a learning experience for sure.

In the meantime, there are two DRWHO.ASC files on CoCo Archive (DRWHO.ASC and DRWHO2.ASC) that I would like to hear. Any Orch-90 experts out there?

One has extensions in it for another music player (TRS-80 non CoCo I expect) and needs to be edited, but I still didn’t get it to compile.
