NEC PC Engine instrument editor

The PCE instrument editor contains three tabs: Sample, Wavetable and Macros.

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.

Wavetable

this allows you to enable and configure the Furnace wavetable synthesizer. see this page for more information.

note: on PC Engine, using the wave synth may result in clicking and/or phase resets. by default Furnace attempts to mitigate this problem though.

Macros

  • Volume: volume sequence.
  • Arpeggio: pitch sequence.
  • Noise: enable noise mode.
    • only on channels 5 and 6.
  • Waveform: wavetable sequence.
  • Panning (left): output level for left channel.
  • Panning (right): output level for right channel.
  • Pitch: fine pitch.
  • Phase Reset: trigger restart of waveform.
