VRC6 instrument editor

the VRC6 (regular) instrument editor consists of two tabs.

Sample

for sample settings, see the Sample instrument editor.

the only differences are the lack of an "Use wavetable" option, and the presence of a "Use sample" one.

note that using samples on VRC6 is CPU expensive!

Macros

• Volume: volume sequence.
• Arpeggio: pitch sequence.
• Duty: specifies duty cycle for pulse wave channels.
• Pitch: fine pitch.

VRC6 (saw) instrument editor

this channel has its own instrument type, a one-of-a-kind thing in Furnace that was decided as a compromise during a debate.

the only differences from this instrument type compared to the regular one are:

• the lack of a Sample tab.
• it has a volume range of 0-63 instead of 0-15.
• it lacks a duty cycle macro.
  • if you come from FamiTracker, this may seem strange to you, but it isn't.
