 - Amiga tone (both coarse and fine E/F pitch slides). The `slideArg` is a **raw tracker period-unit count** (no scaling), with sign matching linear mode (negative for E, positive for F). Coarse slides apply on every non-first tick; fine slides apply once on tick 0 — the per-step arithmetic is identical:
