# quick references
- **discussion**: see the [Discussions](https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace/discussions) section, or (preferably) the [official Discord server](https://discord.gg/EfrwT2wq7z).
- **help**: check out the [documentation](papers/doc/README.md). it's mostly incomplete, but has details on effects.
if you can't download these artifacts (because GitHub requires you to be logged in), [go here](https://nightly.link/tildearrow/furnace/workflows/build/master) instead.
**NOTE: do not download the project's source as a .zip or .tar.gz as these do not include the project's submodules which are necessary to proceed with building. please instead use Git as shown below.**
## dependencies
- CMake
- JACK (optional, macOS/Linux only)
if building under Windows or macOS, no additional dependencies are required.
otherwise, you may also need the following:
- libpulse
- libx11
- libasound
- libGL
some Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu or openSUSE) will require you to install the `-dev` versions of these.
## getting the source
type the following on a terminal/console: (make sure Git is installed)
| `WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS` | `OFF` (but consider enabling this & reporting any errors that arise from it!) | Whether warnings in furnace's C++ code should be treated as errors |
this will play a compatible file and enable the commands view.
**note that these commands only actually work in Linux environments. on other command lines, such as Windows' Command Prompt, or MacOS Terminal, it may not work correctly.**

# frequently asked questions
> woah! 50 sound chips?! I can't believe it!
yup, it's real.
> where's the manual?
see [papers/](papers/doc/README.md). it's kind of incomplete, but at least the sound chips section is there.
> it doesn't open under macOS!
this is due to Apple's application signing policy. a workaround is to right click on the Furnace app icon and select Open.
**as of Monterey, this workaround no longer works (especially on ARM).** yeah, Apple has decided to be strict on the matter.
if you happen to be on that version, use this workaround instead (on a Terminal):
on Instrument Editor in the C64 tab there are two options to toggle these.
also provided are two effects:
-`3xxx`: set fine duty.
-`4xxx`: set fine cutoff. `xxx` range is 000-7ff.
additionally, you can change the cutoff and/or duty as a macro inside an instrument by clicking the `absolute cutoff macro` and/or `absolute duty macro` checkbox at the bottom of the instrument. (for the filter, you also need to click the checkbox that says `volume macro is cutoff macro`.)
> how do I use PCM on a PCM-capable chip?
two possibilities:
- the recommended way is by creating the "Sample" type instrument and assigning a sample to it.
- otherwise you may employ the DefleMask-compatible method, using `17xx` effect.
