AYT is composed of List, Patterns and Effects organised in a flat file of about 23K.

^Location^Area^Organisation^
|$0600|[[List Memory]]|128 Rows * 16 Bytes(or 8 Tracks * 2 Bytes)|
|$0E00|[[Pattern Memory]]|128 Patterns * 64 Rows * 2 Bytes|
|$4E00|[[SFX Memory]]|64 SFX * 64 Rows * 1 Byte|

The compiled format does not contain any code but is purely for music. This means we could have memory filled with different compiled musics and simply point the single player to the start location.
