EB> Really? I always thought MODs were restricted to 4 channels.
The original Amiga MOD spec called for 4 channels, because the Amiga had 4
digital sound channels built into it. Later developments expanded this
number to 6, 8, and beyond, while keeping compatibility with the commands
used in the original spec.

I'd have to fire up the CD to check the track you mention. Picture a sound
moving from your left speaker to your right. That is panning, a term
derived from "pan", which is short for "panorama" or "panoramic". In other
words, sounds that change their position within the stereo field.
Sorry to get technical. It's late, I'm loopy.
