old instrument format (<127)

this format is used in older versions of Furnace.

header

.fui files use the following header:

size | description
-----|------------------------------------
 16  | "-Furnace instr.-" format magic
  2  | format version
  2  | reserved
  4  | pointer to instrument data
  2  | wavetable count
  2  | sample count
  4  | reserved
 4?? | pointers to wavetables
 4?? | pointers to samples

instrument data follows.

this header is not present on instruments inside a .fur file.

data

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

     |   - is the macro mode set to fixed?
     |     - if yes, then:
     |       - set bit 30 of all arp macro values (this is the fixed mode bit)

interpreting macro mode values

  • sequence (normal): I think this is obvious...
  • ADSR:
    • val[0]: bottom
    • val[1]: top
    • val[2]: attack
    • val[3]: hold time
    • val[4]: decay
    • val[5]: sustain level
    • val[6]: sustain hold time
    • val[7]: decay 2
    • val[8]: release
  • LFO:
    • val[11]: speed
    • val[12]: waveform
      • 0: triangle
      • 1: saw
      • 2: pulse
    • val[13]: phase
    • val[14]: loop
    • val[15]: global (not sure how will I implement this)
