Direct mode? #2

Since I haven't had a chance to use one of these carts yet, and I've only read the documentation in its current draft mode, I'd like to better understand "direct" mode.

Does that mode allow the modulation wheel to be used to slide the pitch of any of the chip's four voices up and down seamlessly?

If so, what musical note does it start on by default?

Can this starting point be assigned to a note of the player's choice or can that happen automatically somehow?

I'd like to help improve the current draft user manual for this cart and understanding this better would help immensely. Of course, being able to put a cart through its paces would be even better!
