Well poo.
One of the suggestions I got for Splotches was to have individually-controlled volumes for sound effects and music. I dragged my feet a little but finally separated them all into their own channels this evening.
And then I realized only one sound can play in each channel at a time.

Is there a way to separate them without using an extension that makes everything external?

How about just using one for music (un-interruptible) and leaving the rest free for the sfx, setting the volume of them by fastloop (1-30)? I don't think there's an extension that works with internal sounds. I could be wrong but I think you just learned something new about MMF the hard way

Wait, did setting all the non-music channels' volumes once at the start work? Or did they revert the next time a sound was played?
If it didn't work, you could choose manually the channel to play each sound on, and then manually set the volume each time as well. You could use an incrementing, looping value to track which channel you're gonna use next.
Go Moon!

Is there a way to limit the sound effects to all channels but one without a loop system?
Volume seems to be steady, but I don't know if that's because it doesn't reset or because it constantly sets the volume to a global value.

How about:
[Event]
Set Counter to 1 + (value( "Counter" ) mod 31)
Play sound on channel value(Counter)
and play the music on channel 32

Nim, you are a positively wonderful person.
Time for a few hip-hip huzzahs and some puzzle making before I go post the update everywhere.
