# the Furnace file format (.fur)
while Furnace works directly with the .dmf format, I had to create a new format to handle future additions to the program.
this document has the goal of detailing the format.

# information
2022-02-27 04:00:02 +00:00
files may be zlib-compressed, but Furnace accepts uncompressed files as well.

all numbers are little-endian.
the following fields may be found in "size":
- `f` indicates a floating point number.
- `STR` is a UTF-8 zero-terminated string.
- `???` is an array of variable size.
- `S??` is an array of `STR` s.
- `1??` is an array of bytes.
- `2??` is an array of shorts.
- `4??` is an array of ints.
the format has changed several times across versions. a `(>=VER)` indicates this field is only present starting from format version `VER` , and `(<VER)` indicates this field is present only before version `VER` .
furthermore, an `or reserved` indicates this field is always present, but is reserved when the version condition is not met.
2022-06-29 06:56:57 +00:00
the `size of this block` fields represent the size of a block excluding the ID and the aforementioned field.
these fields are 0 in format versions prior to 100 (0.6pre1).

# subsong
from version 95 onwards, Furnace supports storing multiple songs on a single file.
the way it's currently done is really weird, but it provides for some backwards compatibility (previous versions will only load the first subsong which is already defined in the `INFO` block).

notes:
- the entire instrument is stored, regardless of instrument type.
- the macro range varies depending on the instrument type.
- "macro open" indicates whether the macro is collapsed or not in the instrument editor.
2022-10-07 09:11:45 +00:00
- as of format version 120, bit 1-2 indicates macro mode:
- 0: sequence (normal)
- 1: ADSR
- 2: LFO
- see sub-section for information on how to interpret parameters.
2022-04-16 23:01:12 +00:00
- FM operator order is:
- 1/3/2/4 (internal order) for OPN, OPM, OPZ and OPL 4-op
- 1/2/?/? (? = unused) for OPL 2-op and OPLL
- meaning of extended macros varies depending on instrument type.
- meaning of panning macros varies depending on instrument type:
- for hard-panned chips (e.g. FM and Game Boy): left panning is 2-bit panning macro (left/right)
- otherwise both left and right panning macros are used

| - if yes, then:
| - set bit 30 of all arp macro values (this is the fixed mode bit)
| - does the macro loop?
| - if yes, then do nothing else
