~XBIOS(&H26,L:music%+4)       ! Switch off all voices and set back interrupts
SPOKE &H484,15                ! Enable this fuckin' 'Bip' of the keyboard

(Editor's note: the calling interface looks similar to Madmax tunes. You probably can play all MAdmax tunes which do not use timer effects with the same method.)
