If there's a noise channel drum you need, I can help you with that.
In other words, if you run into any of the certain 16 envelopes, he can help you with that.
Don't let these guys confuse you. They're talking about replicating certain sounds from NES games. While this can be useful for learning purposes, it's certainly not necessary. Plus it's more interesting to come up with your own unique instruments.

An envelope is simply a zone within one of your sound channels, where the notes are pretty much controlled almost exclusively through the use of an effect.
Example: if your square channel 1 has a song composed with one single instrument (at volume F,) I can use nothing but Axx effects to control volume during the course of the melody. The use of the Axx effect would make the notes in that sound channel controlled by a volume envelope.
What? Uh... no. Not at all.
The envelopes are the MML strings you input in the instrument parameters.
By tadpole's definition, yes; it's the effects that you can tweak for each individual instrument (using the MML number values on the bottom of the instrument's settings window).

Learning and understanding terminology is the first step to communicating properly with all of you, so that really helps me out a lot, thanks! I feel slightly less clueless now. xD
