This is a complicated one but not really essential hence I'm just opening a bug for it to mark it as a known issue. There are some quirks with deflemask in the way it handles psg3/psg4 that should be addressed at some point and as a result, will not sound exactly right if converted using soundtrack.

If an instrument is not set on psg3 while a 2011-effect track is playing in psg4, but you play a note on psg3, soundtrack will dutifully assign the correct instrument to psg3 - the default instrument - and psg3 will incorrectly play a note. Deflemask does not do this. Behaviour is correct if you assign an instrument to psg3 and this is the recommended workaround for anyone encountering this issue.
