# possible new Furnace instrument format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the main issue with Furnace instrument files is that they are too big, even if the instrument is nothing more than the FM setup...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the aim of this new format is to greatly reduce the size of a resulting instrument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
1 | instrument type
|

```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the "feature bits" field is a variable length bitfield. bit 7 in a byte indicates "read one more byte".

the feature bits are:

|
|

|
||
