Volume levels and envelope selects for channels A, B and C. Channel A uses R11, channel B uses R12 and channel C uses R13. See PSG Channels and PSG Envelope Generator for more details.
0000:0000:00ee:vvvv
where:
ee selects the envelope magnitude
00 No envelope selected. PSG uses the flat volume in 'vvvv' instead.
01 Use envelope volume, shifted right by 2
10 Use envelope volume, shifted right by 1
11 Use envelope volume as-is
vvvv indicates the flat volume to use if no envelope selected (ee is 00).
Some variants of the AY-3-891x family do not implement both envelope select bits. Those devices only allow selecting the unmodified envelope or a flat volume. On those devices, bit 5 always reads as 0. To ensure compatibility across both variants of the PSG, programs should always writes 1s to both 'e' bits, and also should not rely on a 1 written to bit 5 reading back as 1 or 0. (Writing 0 to bit 5 and subsequently reading it always gives 0 in bit 5.)
