Tildearrow Furnace (Chiptune Tracker) v0.6.8 WiN Mac Linux [FREE]

Furnace v0.6.8 - the last

change log
add Watara Supervision system

a rather obscure console from Taiwan with two pulse channels, a noise and primitive sample channel
add SID3 fantasy chip

inspired by SID, this chip has 6 channels of analog-synth-like goodness, a boatload of macros and even one wave channel
add OPL4 system

OPL3 with 24 sample channels taken from the to-be-implemented MultiPCM
fix 5E01 not producing sound at all

SNES anti-click

note that this does not eliminate clicks in samples with incompatible loop regions! it only applies to note playback.
POKEY SAP type R export (playable by Altirra and lzss-sap on hardware)

FamiTracker import improvements

create instrument copies to represent what FamiTracker does (in particular, on VRC6 channels when using 2A03 instruments)
fix Hxy effect for S5B (AY)
fix virtual tempo going outside range
fix VRC7 patch switch effect (Dn-FamiTracker) not being imported correctly
find/replace improvements

make the note selector a bit more comfortable
search in selection now works on selected channels only (previously it would search on all channels... issue #2393)
fix a possible crash (issue #2328)
cut/delay policy is now lax
set macro release mode to Active (issue #2376)
C64 4-bit PCM/digi (using volume control)

performance optimizations for certain chips

up to 10 times less CPU usage during playback and faster audio exports
optimized chips include: PC Speaker, GA20, Amiga, PC Engine, SCC, NES, MMC5, VRC6, TIA, Virtual Boy, AY (not so much), Nintendo DS, T6W28, SN, SM8521, Bubble System WSG and K007232

Virtual Boy changes

one notorious Virtual Boy quirk is that you cannot write to wave/modulation table memory unless all channels are disabled
Furnace wasn't taking this quirk into account, which means that exported VGMs wouldn't play on hardware
this release makes exported VGMs work on hardware by disabling all channels on wave change
however, this means there will be a "click" on every wave change, which can get very annoying
it is recommended you use static mode, or change waves sparingly...
there's a setting to go back to the old behavior, but keep in mind this will break VGM export and is not hardware-accurate!
