setting up MinGW is a bit more complicated. two benefits are a faster, hotter Furnace, and Windows XP support.

however, one huge drawback is lack of backtrace support, so you'll have to use gdb when diagnosing a crash.

> 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.

> it says "Furnace" is damaged and can't be opened!
|

**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):

sadly, the in-program tutorial isn't ready yet. however, [a video tutorial is available on YouTube](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCELB6AsTZUnwv0PC5AAGHjvg47F44YQ1), made by Spinning Square Waves.

Furnace keeps backups of the songs you've worked on before. go to **file > restore backup**.

|

> how do I use C64 absolute filter/duty?
|
||||
> ROM export?
|
||||
|
||||
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.
