furnace/papers/format.md

the Furnace file format (.fur)

while Furnace works directly with the .dmf format, I had to create a new format to handle future additions to the program.

this document has the goal of detailing the format.

notice: GitHub's Markdown formatter may break on this file as it doesn't seem to treat tables correctly.

information

files may be zlib-compressed, but Furnace accepts uncompressed files as well.

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 STRs.
• 1?? is an array of bytes.
• 2?? is an array of shorts.
• 4?? is an array of ints.

the format has changed several times 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. these fields are 0 in format versions prior to 100 (0.6pre1).

patchbay

Furnace dev135 adds a "patchbay" which allows for arbitrary connection of chip outputs to system outputs. it also allows connecting outputs to effects and so on.

a connection is represented as an unsigned int in the following format:

• bit 16-31: source port
• bit 0-15: destination port

a port is in the following format (hexadecimal): xxxy

• xxx (bit 4 to 15) represents a portset.
• y (bit 0 to 3) is the port in that portset.

reserved input portsets:

• 000: system outputs
• FFF: "null" portset

reserved output portsets:

• 000 through 01F: chip outputs
• FFD: wave/sample preview
• FFE: metronome
• FFF: "null" portset

subsong

from version 95 onwards, Furnace supports storing multiple songs on a single file. the way it's currently done is really weird, but it provides for some backwards compatibility (previous versions will only load the first subsong which is already defined in the INFO block).

old instrument (<127)

notes:

• the entire instrument is stored, regardless of instrument type.
• the macro range varies depending on the instrument type.
• "macro open" indicates whether the macro is collapsed or not in the instrument editor.
  • as of format version 120, bit 1-2 indicates macro mode:
    • 0: sequence (normal)
    • 1: ADSR
    • 2: LFO
  • see sub-section for information on how to interpret parameters.
• FM operator order is:
  • 1/3/2/4 (internal order) for OPN, OPM, OPZ and OPL 4-op
  • 1/2/?/? (? = unused) for OPL 2-op and OPLL
• 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

     | - then read note, ins, volume, effects and effect values depending on what is present.
     | - for note:
     |   - 0 is C-(-5)
     |   - 179 is B-9
     |   - 180 is note off
     |   - 181 is note release

     |     - this is an signed char stored in a short.
     |     - therefore octave value 255 is actually octave -1.
     |     - yep, another leftover of the .dmf format...
     |   - instrument
     |   - volume
     |   - effect and effect data (× effect columns)
     | - for note/octave, if both values are 0 then it means empty.
     | - for instrument, volume, effect and effect data, a value of -1 means empty.

the Furnace instrument format (.fui)

the instrument format is pretty similar to the file format, but it also stores wavetables and samples used by the instrument.
