# 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.
# information
this format is "featural", meaning that only used parameters are stored (depending on instrument types).
this is the biggest improvement over the previous format, which stored everything including unused parameters.
features which are not recognized by Furnace will be ignored.
instruments are not compressed using zlib, unlike Furnace songs.
all numbers are little-endian.
the following fields may be found in "size":
- `f` indicates a floating point number.
- `STR` is a UTF-8 zero-terminated string.
- `???` is an array of variable size.
- `S??` is an array of `STR`s.
- `1??` is an array of bytes.
- `2??` is an array of shorts.
- `4??` is an array of ints.
the format may change across versions. a `(>=VER)` indicates this field is only present starting from format version `VER`, and `(<VER)` indicates this field is present only before version `VER`.
furthermore, an `or reserved` indicates this field is always present, but is reserved when the version condition is not met.
the `size of this block` fields represent the size of a block excluding the ID and the aforementioned field.
# header
.fui files use the following header:
```

instruments in a .fur file use the following header instead:

# macro data (MA)
notes:
- the macro range varies depending on the instrument type.
- "macro open" indicates whether the macro is collapsed or not in the instrument editor.
- meaning of extended macros varies depending on instrument type.
- meaning of panning macros varies depending on instrument type:
- for hard-panned chips (e.g. FM and Game Boy): left panning is 2-bit panning macro (left/right)
- otherwise both left and right panning macros are used

- `val[3]`: hold time
- `val[4]`: decay

- `val[11]`: speed
- `val[12]`: waveform
- 0: triangle
- 1: saw
- 2: pulse
- `val[13]`: phase
- `val[14]`: loop

```
## C64 compatibility note (>=187)
in Furnace dev187 the volume and cutoff macros have been separated, as noted above.
however, there are two other changes as well: **inverted relative (non-absolute) cutoff macro**; and a new, improved Special macro.
if version is less than 187, you must convert the Special macro:
1. do not continue if ex4 is not a Sequence type macro!
2. move bit 0 of ex4 macro data into bit 3.
3. set bit 0 on all steps of ex4 macro to 1.
4. if ex3 is not a Sequence type macro, stop here.
5. if ex3 macro length is 0, stop here.
6. merge the ex3 macro (former Special) into ex4 (former Test).
- use the largest size (between ex3 and ex4).
- if the ex3 macro is shorter than the ex4 one, use the last value of ex3, and vice-versa.
- if the ex4 macro length is 0, expand it to the largest size, and set all steps to 1.
don't worry about loop or release...
