# asset list
|
|
|
|
an "asset" refers to an instrument, wavetable or sample.
|
|
|
|
## instrument list
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
buttons from left to right:
|
|
|
|
- **Add**: pops up a menu to select which type of instrument to add. if only one instrument type is available, the menu is skipped.
|
|
- if the "Display instrument type menu when adding instrument" setting is disabled, this skips the menu and creates an instrument according to the chip under the cursor.
|
|
- right-clicking always brings up the menu.
|
|
- **Duplicate**: duplicates the currently selected instrument.
|
|
- **Open**: brings up a file dialog to load a file as a new instrument at the end of the list.
|
|
- **Save**: brings up a file dialog to save the currently selected instrument.
|
|
- instruments are saved as Furnace instrument (.fui) files.
|
|
- right-clicking brings up a menu with the following options:
|
|
- **save instrument as .dmp...**: saves the selected instrument in DefleMask format.
|
|
- **Toggle folders/standard view**: enables (and disables) folder view, explained below.
|
|
- **Move up**: moves the currently selected instrument up in the list. pattern data will automatically be adjusted to match.
|
|
- **Move down**: same, but downward.
|
|
- **Delete**: deletes the currently selected instrument. pattern data will be adjusted to use the next available instrument in the list.
|
|
|
|
## folder view
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in folder view, the "Move up" and "Move down buttons disappear and a new one appears:
|
|
- **New folder**: creates a new folder.
|
|
|
|
assets may be dragged from folder to folder and even rearranged within folders without changing their associated numbers.
|
|
|
|
right-clicking on a folder allows one to rename or delete it. deleting a folder does not remove the instruments in it.
|
|
|
|
## wavetable list
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
everything from the instrument list applies here also, with one major difference: moving waves around with the buttons will change their associated numbers in the list but **not** in pattern or instrument data. be careful!
|
|
|
|
wavetables are saved as Furnace wavetable (.fuw) files.
|
|
|
|
- right-clicking the Save button brings up a menu with the following options:
|
|
- **save wavetable as .dmw...**: saves the selected wavetable in DefleMask format.
|
|
- **save raw wavetable...**: saves the selected wavetable as raw data.
|
|
|
|
## sample list
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
everything from the wavetables list applies here also, with the addition of one button before the Delete button:
|
|
- **Preview**: plays the selected sample at its default note.
|
|
- right-clicking stops the sample playback.
|
|
|
|
samples are saved as standard wave (.wav) files.
|
|
|
|
right-clicking the Save button brings up a menu with the following options:
|
|
- **save raw sample...**: saves the selected sample as raw data.
|
|
|
|
right-clicking a sample in the list brings up a menu:
|
|
- **make instrument**: creates a new instrument which is set to use the selected sample.
|
|
- **make me a drum kit**: allows you to instantly create a drum kit using all the samples in the list. see the next section for more information.
|
|
- **duplicate**: makes a copy of the selected sample.
|
|
- **replace...**: opens a file dialog to choose a replacement sample.
|
|
- **save**: opens a file dialog to choose where to save the sample.
|
|
- **delete**: removes the sample.
|
|
|
|
### make me a drum kit
|
|
|
|
I have added this option to make it easier for you to create a drum kit.
|
|
it puts all the samples into a new instrument with sample map.
|
|
|
|
after selecting this option, a list of parameters appears:
|
|
|
|
- **Drum kit mode**: select how to arrange the samples in the sample map.
|
|
- **Normal**: put all samples from the starting octave onwards.
|
|
- **12 samples per octave**: map the first 12 samples to all octaves, DefleMask-style.
|
|
- **Starting octave**: change the octave where the first sample will be at.
|
|
|
|
following that is a list of viable instrument types. click on one of them to proceed with drum kit creation!
