The count input of the Tone Pulse counter is connected to the carry-out signal from the
Decrement counter. And when the Tone count register is set to "00", the Tone Pulse counter
sets the INT bit every carry-out from the Decrement counter. Thus the number of

((Decrement Grade register) +1) x ((Tone Count register) +1)
i.e. When the both registers are set to "00", the INT bit is set every tone cycle.
