# ResumeInstrument

Resumes playback of a paused instrument.

### Synopsis

`Err ResumeInstrument (Item Instrument)`

### Description

This function resumes playback of an instrument paused using `PauseInstrument()`. A resumed instrument continues playback from the point where it was paused. It does not restart from the beginning of a note.

This function is intended primarily for sampled sound instruments, where a paused instrument retains its playback position within a sampled sound. `PauseInstrument()` and `ResumeInstrument()` used with sound synthesis instruments may not have effects any different than `StartInstrument()` and `StopInstrument()`.

This function has no effect on an instrument that has been stopped or restarted after being paused.

### Arguments

Instrument
  The item number for the instrument.

### Return Value

The function returns a non-negative value if successful or an error code (a negative value) if an error occurs.

### Implementation
