This table contains the sound envelope data, which is passed to OSWORD by the FNE macro to create the four sound envelopes used in-game. Refer to chapter 30 of the BBC Micro User Guide for details of sound envelopes and what all the parameters mean. The envelopes are as follows: * Envelope 1 is the sound of our own laser firing * Envelope 2 is the sound of lasers hitting us, or hyperspace * Envelope 3 is the first sound in the two-part sound of us dying, or the second sound in the two-part sound of us making hitting or killing an enemy ship * Envelope 4 is the sound of E.C.M. firing
