Furnace's wavetable editor features multiple ways of creating desired waveform shape:
|
||||
|

- Shape tab allows you to select a few predefined basic shapes and indirectly edit it via "Duty", "Exponent" and "XOR Point" sliders TODO: what the last two are doing? What is amplitude/phase for?)
|

- Shape tab allows you to select a few predefined basic shapes and indirectly edit it via "Duty", "Exponent" and "XOR Point" sliders:
|
||||
- `Duty` slider affects mainly pulse waves, determining its wisth, like on C64/VRC6
|
||||
- `Exponent` powers the waveform in the mathematical sense of the word (^2, ^3 and so on)
|
||||
- `XOR Point` determines the point where the waveform gets negated.
|
||||
- TODO: amplitude/phase part
|
||||
- FM is for creating the waveform with frequency modulation synthesis principles: One can set carrier/modulation levels, frquency multiplier, connection between operators and FM waveforms of these operators.
|
||||
- WaveTools allows user to fine-tune the waveform: scale said waveform in both X and Y axes, smoothen, amplify, normalize, convert to signed/unisgned, invert or even randomize the wavetable.

# samples

In the context of Furnace, a sound sample (usually just referred to as a sample) is a string of numbers that hold sampled PCM audio.

In the context of Furnace, a sound sample (usually just referred to as a sample) is a string of numbers that represent sampled PCM audio.
|

In Furnace, these samples can be generated by importing a .wav (think of it as an higher quality MP3) file.

- A drum/percussion mode, replacing the last 3 voices with 5 rhythm channels, with drum mode tones hard-defined in the chip itself, like FM instruments. Only pitch might be altered.
|
||||
|
||||
- Drum mode works like following: FM channel 7 is for Kick Drum, which is a normal FM channel but routed through mxier twice for 2x volume, like all drum sounds. FM channel 8 splits to Snare Drum and Hi-Hat. Snare Drum is the carrier and it works with a special 1 bit noise generator combined with a square wave, all possible by overriding phase-generator with some different synthesis method. Hi-Hat is the modulator and it works with the noise generator and also the special synthesis. CH9 splits to Top-Cymbal and Tom-Tom, Top-Cymbal is the carrier and only has the special synthesis, while Tom-Tom is basically a 1op wave.
|
||||
- Special syntheis mentioned already is: 5 square waves are gathered from 4x, 64x and 128x the pitch of channel 8 and 16x and 64x the pitch of channel 9 and they go through a process where 2 HH bits OR'd together, then 1 HH and 1 TC bit OR'd, then the two TC bits OR'd together, and those 3 results get XOR'd.

one of two chips that powered the Sega Genesis. It is a six-channel, four-operator FM synthesizer. Channel #6 can be turned into 8-bit PCM player, that via software mixing, thanks to Z80 sound CPU, can play more than one channel of straight-shot samples at once. As of Furnace 0.6pre5, Furnace offers DualPCM, which allows 2 channels of software-mixed 8-bit PCM samples at 13750 Hz.
