Taud: equal-energy panning only

   - MONOTONE `2xx` → Taud `E $00xx` **verbatim** (Hz/tick). The engine converts the stored pitch to frequency, subtracts the argument, and converts back. MONOTONE has no fine-slide form; converters never emit `E $Fxxx` for ff=2 sources.
 
-The mode flag therefore controls **two** decoder behaviours simultaneously: (a) which numeric scale the converter should have used when emitting coarse arguments, and (b) which arithmetic the engine performs on those arguments per tick. Converters MUST set bits 1-2 (`ff`) of the song-table flags byte to match the units they emit, and MUST NOT mix scales within one Taud song.

 Because E and F share memory in Taud (narrower than ST3's broad shared memory), an ST3 song that used `E00` or `F00` to recall a D, G, or Q argument will break on import; the converter must eagerly resolve ST3 recalls into explicit Taud arguments rather than relying on memory.

 - ff = 0: Linear tone mode. Pitch shift will behave like MIDI/ImpulseTracker/ScreamTracker linear mode. **Coarse and fine E/F arguments are stored as 4096-TET pitch units** and subtracted/added directly from the stored pitch.
 - ff = 1: Amiga (cycle-based) tone mode. Pitch shift will behave like ProTracker/ScreamTracker default mode. **Coarse and fine E/F arguments are stored as raw tracker period units** (the unscaled byte/nibble from the source PT/S3M/IT file) and applied in Amiga period space. Tone portamento (G) remains linear regardless of mode.
 - ff = 2: Linear-frequency tone mode (MONOTONE compat). **E, F, and G arguments are stored as Hz/tick** (a signed change in audible frequency per song tick), and the engine converts the channel's stored 4096-TET pitch back to a frequency, adds/subtracts the argument, then converts back to 4096-TET. Reference is fixed at 12-TET A4 = 440 Hz / C4 ≈ 261.6256 Hz, which matches MONOTONE's MT_PLAY.PAS `notesHz` table (A0 = 27.5 Hz, equal-temperament). Unlike Amiga mode, *all three* slide effects use the new arithmetic — Monotone's `1xx`, `2xx`, and `3xx` are all in Hz/tick (see MTSRC/MT_PLAY.PAS:606-630).
