 - Simple Access mode. SACs is register / data lists same as SEQ. in 770C, when both /SEL and /CS pins goes low - will be run SAC with number set at data bus.
   can not be used in CV1K (/SEL pin is NC, internally pulled to VCC), probably not used in PGM2 too.

+- Configurable clock (currently hardcoded at 16kHz)
 - sequencer timers implemented but seems unused, presumably because of design flaws or bugs, likely due to lack of automatic adding of sequencer # to register offset.
   in result sequences uses very long chains of 32-sample wait commands instead, wasting a lot of ROM space.
 - sequencer triggers not implemented, not sure how they works (Deathsmiles ending tune starts sequence with TGST = 01h, likely a bug and don't affect tune playback)
