./furnace -console -view commands <file>
this will play a .dmf file and enable the commands view.
./furnace -output audio.wav <file>
this will render a .dmf file to .wav.
notes
how do I use Neo Geo SSG envelopes?
the following effects are provided:
22xy
: set envelope mode.x
sets the envelope shape, which may be one of the following:0: \___
decay4: /___
attack once8: \\\\
saw9: \___
decayA: \/\/
inverse obeliscoB: \¯¯¯
decay onceC: ////
inverse sawD: /¯¯¯
attackE: /\/\
obeliscoF: /___
attack once
- if
y
is 1 then the envelope will affect this channel.
23xx
: set envelope period low byte.24xx
: set envelope period high byte.
a lower envelope period will make the envelope run faster.
my song sounds very odd at a certain point
file a bug report. use the Issues page.
it's probably another playback inaccuracy.
my song sounds correct, but it doesn't in DefleMask
file a bug report here. it still is a playback inaccuracy.
my C64 song sounds terrible after saving as .dmf!
that's a limitation of the DefleMask format. save in Furnace song format instead (.fur).
