As far as i know, turnon has to be declared as a part of a header, not
inside an insturment.

Infact, ftgen has to be declared in the header section like turnon.
These opcodes are performed at instr 0(header) execution time. ftgen is
simillar to 'f' statement in the score file.

for example your orc header contains
  gifno   ftgen   0,0,1024, 10, 1

you can use gifno in your instruments to refer the above table.
