When horizontal fine scroll is enabled by setting bit 4 in the LMS instruction in the display list, POKEing this location with a value from zero to 16 clock cycles (depending on graphics mode) will fine scroll the screen.
POKEing a value from zero to 16 (depending on graphics mode) will fine scroll the screen one or more scan lines.
This location allows two channels to be joined for greater frequency range, and allows the user to vary the poly-counters which control noise, or to switch the clock base from 64KHz to 15KHz for a change in frequency range.

Applesoft: PEEKs, POKEs, and CALLs To make Applesoft programs read data from memory, write data to memory, or pass control to machine language programs, programmers use Applesoft's PEEK, POKE, and CALL statements.
POKE makes a program write a value to a memory location.
Programmers use POKE most commonly to write data directly to memory: POKE 2048,128 assigns the value 128 to the memory location 2048.

 MBASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No discussion of BASICs on the 8-bit computers of the late '70s and early '80s would be complete without mentioning the importance of the PEEK and POKE functions for directly reading and writing to memory.
These were typically placed in a reserved area of memory, or POKEd into string constants, as a series of machine codes (op codes).
The use of PEEK and POKE, and of machine code user functions, made MBASIC programs non-portable between machines.
