Rest event 0x80

Represents a rest.

Syntax

0x80, byte duration     // normal
0x80, ushort duration   // in 16-bit duration mode
0x80                    // in default duration mode

Parameters

ParameterTypeContents
durationbyte / ushortLength (ticks). Omitted in default duration mode. A big-endian 16-bit value in 16-bit duration mode

Remarks

Keys off the channel, sets the pitch of that DSP channel to 0, then waits for duration. On a BGM channel during an SE interrupt, it only waits, without writing to the DSP.

Since the length of a note event includes 1 tick of silence after sounding, there is no need to insert a rest just to separate notes. For details, see Note event.
