0xA8, 0xAA, 0xA3 (Channel Volume, Pan, Volume Modifier)

0xA8 has one 8-bit parameter, which used in calculation of base channel volume.

0xAA has one 8-bit parameter, which used in calculation of channel pan (difference between left and right channel volume).

0xA3 has one 8-bit parameter, which used in calculation of base channel volume.
