Furnace v0.6.4

important update for those using macOS and those without video cards.

changes

• default to OpenGL on macOS

  • the Metal backend has rendered Furnace unusable for many users, therefore I have decided to set the OpenGL backend as default.
  • if you still cannot launch Furnace, try a configuration reset by removing the config files in ~/Library/Application Support/Furnace.

• fix crash when using software renderer

  • previously, Furnace would crash during the intro...

• Furnace Localization!

  • that's right - Furnace translated to many languages!
  • currently supporting (in order of completion) Spanish, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Portuguese (Brazil), Slovak and Indonesian.
  • work in progress languages include Korean, Thai, Dutch, and Armenian. these are hidden but accessible if either your computer is set to one of these languages, or you edit the config manually.
  • if you want to translate Furnace to your language, feel free to! check out the po directory in the repository for more.

• more Furnace for Legacy Systems

  • new DirectX 9 render backend
    • designed to work with older cards and drivers that don't support OpenGL 1.1 (or support it poorly)
  • disable SSE on 32-bit Windows builds
    • so you can run this on Pentium

• improve audio export options

  • now you can disable channels during per-channel export
  • also change the sample rate and more

• backup management

  • see how much disk space is being used by backups
  • purge old backups
  • change backup settings such as interval and number of copies
  • go to Settings > Backup to see it

• improve cursor focus when clicking on the pattern

  • now it doesn't jump around anymore

• fix crash when trying to add or clone a chip after the 32 chip limit has been reached

• DS: fix inability to go back to sample mode in PSG channels

• add automatic noise freq (AutoPWM) effect for AY8930

• add action to move selected content in pattern editor

• OPLL: add effect to change patch (10xx)

• add settings to configure render backend

• add settings to import/export config and do a factory reset

• add setting to automatically fill in the name field of the file picker when saving

  • only works on the built-in file picker. sorry!

• add Japanese and Korean versions of IBM Plex Sans

• expose all audio formats supported by libsndfile

• fix rounding error in ADSR and LFO macros when bottom is higher than top

• fix left and right outputs being swapped when using YM2608-LLE

• fix old sample offset compatibility flag not being there at all

• fall back to software rendering when GL pixel format is incompatible

• more aggressive power saving

• fix a conflict in the colors of SID2 and C64 instruments

• fix sudden window scroll if you have the instrument/wave/sample lists untabbed

• fix on/off mute in VIC-20

• fix fade-in happening when enabling startup fade-in

• fix Wayland icon

  • thanks ColinKinloch

• remove basic output channels selector

  • now you can use your 16-output audio interface with Furnace

• added a couple song flags:

  • Volume scaling rounds up: makes volume scaling round up (ceil) rather than being rounded down. useful for NES triangle.
  • Reset arpeggio effect position on new note: resets the arpeggio effect's position on each note.

• improve NES DPCM sample mapping

  • now it resembles FamiTracker more
  • each note has DPCM pitch and initial delta counter value settings

• improve icons for ADSR/LFO macro types

• display chevrons if certain values are out of view in macro view

• come on Furnace can do Game Boy

• changed macOS license text so it tells you about "Furnace is damaged"

• add effect to restart a macro (F7xx)

• don't change the instrument type if it is unknown once it is loaded in the instrument editor

• ZSM export: remember last sample played so that async pitch changes work

• Virtual Boy changes

  • fix forceIns not working well
  • add static wave storage mode (only 5 waves)
    • it is unknown whether it is possible to change waveforms on the fly...

• wavetable creation improvements

  • now it defaults to best size for current chip

• add "make me a drum kit" option

  • right click a sample in the sample list and select the option to make an instrument with sample map set to all samples

• new export dialog

• make "change" button more notorious in chip manager

• re-arranged some of the tabs in instrument editor

• macOS: better default shortcuts

• added "default author name" setting

• PC speaker: added option to reset phase when the frequency changes

  • this option was added after determining that many recent motherboards do so :<

• add a preliminary safe mode

  • is your graphics card not working? Furnace fails to start? Furnace crashes on start-up because you loaded the wrong font, your sound/graphics card's driver is buggy or something? then this mode is for you!
  • pass the -safemode parameter to Furnace, which starts it in safe mode (software rendering, no audio and fallback font only).
  • alternatively, pass -safeaudio if you still want audio output.
  • I was planning to make this mode automatic (start in safe mode after failed start-up) but testers ran into issues (especially when launching more than one Furnace instance). I will improve this and make it fully automatic soon...

• pattern view improvements

  • the ++ button now allows you to have both effect columns buttons and pattern name fields visible.
  • channel group hints, which display which channels are tied together (e.g. for 4-op mode, pitch modulation and more).
  • channel status hints, displaying note on/off, vibrato/tremolo, slides, and other status.

• make it more obvious when trying to preview an instrument which cannot be previewed when the song doesn't have a chip which takes in that instrument type

• MIDI improvements

  • added a button in Settings to re-scan MIDI devices
  • finally: velocity response
  • the velocity curve power is now 2.0 by default, to match General MIDI velocity standard
  • program change pass-through: now you can use Furnace as a MIDI player of sorts
  • many MIDI input bug fixes, such as input not working if the MIDI device's output channel is too high

• C64 improvements

  • ADSR macros
  • global volume and cutoff macros are now separate
  • unified Special macro, with test/gate/ring/sync settings
    • note: if you were using the former ring/sync and gate macros crazily (different loop points and all), this might break your song.
  • default envelope reset time is now 2 instead of 1
  • relative macros are now fine and less Mask-y
  • 1Exy effect now updates envelope immediately
  • 20xy/21xy effects to set AD or SR with a single effect

• a brand-new X-Y oscilloscope

  • this displays two output channels (e.g. left and right) in a plot.

• C140: added bank types (for VGM export)

• "loop crossfade" option in sample editor

• default not to write instrument name when saving instrument to a file

  • this way you don't end up with too many "Instrument 0"s

• new color scheme "guru mode"

  • now you can edit every single color in the UI

• color scheme import/export improvements

  • now it saves a couple related settings as well
  • no more having to manually set color scheme type after importing

• added "select asset on load" setting

• added stereo 86PCM presets

  • it is uncertain whether PC-9801-86 DACs were hard-panned or in mono

• added ability to hide channels in the per-channel osc independently of the pattern

• added option to disable DC offset correction

• paste from OpenMPT!

• add new FreeType font renderer

  • it has more settings than the current one

• added early text export feature

  • still incomplete

• Amiga accuracy improvements

  • now AM/PM work correctly
  • don't stop DMA until period timer is done

• new OPL sound cores:

  • YM3812-LLE: low-level emulation of the OPL2 chip. very CPU intensive but 100% accurate.
  • YMF262-LLE: like YM3812-LLE but for OPL3. even more CPU intensive.
  • these cores are made by nukeykt based on die shots of the original chips.
  • ymfm: why not? this core is made by Aaron Giles.

• added ESFM chip

  • this chip is like OPL3, but adds many features on top of it, like 4-op on all channels, detune and per-operator panning.

• added PowerNoise chip

  • a fantasy sound chip created by The Beesh-Spweesh! and jvsTSX for the Hexheld fantasy video game console, employing LFSR-based synthesis.

• many doc updates

• demo song updates

  • including songs from the Virtual Boy and ESFM demo song contests!
