It ends when $FF is the number of the first voice. Sometime, all the four voices are $FF ... but not always, so better refer to the first voice :). First value is $00 !. 1532 4 $FF-FF-FF-FF. To mark the end of the upward list. (5FCh) 1536 ? Track data. Each track is 64 notes which are 3 bytes (600h) long. So each track is 192 bytes long.
