v0.6.8

it's been a while since 0.6.7...
this is (hopefully) the final release in the 0.6 series. 0.7 development will begin very soon.

change log

  • add Watara Supervision system

    • a rather obscure console from Taiwan with two pulse channels, a noise and primitive sample channel

  • add SID3 fantasy chip

    • inspired by SID, this chip has 6 channels of analog-synth-like goodness, a boatload of macros and even one wave channel

  • add OPL4 system

    • OPL3 with 24 sample channels taken from the to-be-implemented MultiPCM

  • fix 5E01 not producing sound at all

  • SNES anti-click

    • note that this does not eliminate clicks in samples with incompatible loop regions! it only applies to note playback.

  • POKEY SAP type R export (playable by Altirra and lzss-sap on hardware)

  • FamiTracker import improvements

    • create instrument copies to represent what FamiTracker does (in particular, on VRC6 channels when using 2A03 instruments)
    • fix Hxy effect for S5B (AY)
    • fix virtual tempo going outside range
    • fix VRC7 patch switch effect (Dn-FamiTracker) not being imported correctly

  • find/replace improvements

    • make the note selector a bit more comfortable
    • search in selection now works on selected channels only (previously it would search on all channels... issue #2393)
    • fix a possible crash (issue #2328)
    • cut/delay policy is now lax
    • set macro release mode to Active (issue #2376)

  • C64 4-bit PCM/digi (using volume control)

  • performance optimizations for certain chips

    • up to 10 times less CPU usage during playback and faster audio exports
    • optimized chips include: PC Speaker, GA20, Amiga, PC Engine, SCC, NES, MMC5, VRC6, TIA, Virtual Boy, AY (not so much), Nintendo DS, T6W28, SN, SM8521, Bubble System WSG and K007232

  • new WonderSwan emulation core courtesy of asiekierka (#2401)

  • Virtual Boy changes

    • one notorious Virtual Boy quirk is that you cannot write to wave/modulation table memory unless all channels are disabled
    • Furnace wasn't taking this quirk into account, which means that exported VGMs wouldn't play on hardware
    • this release makes exported VGMs work on hardware by disabling all channels on wave change
    • however, this means there will be a "click" on every wave change, which can get very annoying
    • it is recommended you use static mode, or change waves sparingly...
    • there's a setting to go back to the old behavior, but keep in mind this will break VGM export and is not hardware-accurate!

  • TFM import improvements

    • implement looping

  • XM import improvements

    • new envelope conversion algorithm

  • add ability to set multiple key binds for actions

  • FM 30xx (hard reset envelope) now working on VGM export

  • OPZ improvements (per-op frequency control including arp/pitch macros)

  • support for MSX2 .dmf (no, I am not going to support its weird AY manners. sorry!)

  • add ability to create a sample from a wavetable

  • per-op fixed octave/block setting in OPN, OPL and ESFM (useful for SSG-EG)

  • CSM on all OPN chips

  • Combat Vehicle improvements

    • small stages, modifiers, special powerups and planes

  • fix a possible crash on macOS when the font texture is too large

  • fix two possible hangs in MIDI code when audio output isn't working

  • fix crash when selecting all after expanding/collapsing/change-effect-counting channel

  • OPN: fix possible crash when using FM effects on non-FM channels (issue #2286)

  • fix some file loading exploits

    • negative sample length (issue #2316)
    • samples too long in .dmf
    • invalid pitches in .dmf

  • command palette improvements

    • show shortcuts (for actions)
    • color the search characters
    • use non-greedy search to find optimal fuzzy match order

  • fix the "Rendering..." window being too small at times

  • add cursor undo/redo actions

  • add the ability to set a channel visibility mask for user presets

note for Windows users

there are two 64-bit versions: the normal one, and a "console" version.
the console version has the subsystem set to console so you can use Furnace for parsing files and/or playing in console mode (with the -console parameter). be noted that a command prompt will pop up when launching it through Explorer!
if you don't need to do that, just get the regular version.
