you probably need to create instruments for the expansions. click one of the expansion channels then hit new instrument. only MMC5 and 2A03 use the same instrument types.
you know, this comes up quite a lot. i'm wondering if it might be sensible to have blank instruments automatically created when you first load famitracker, and first turn on an expansion (ie. your project automatically has 00 - New Instrument when FT is opened, and 01 - New Instrument if you then enable an expansion. you'd only have to make these manually anyway, and it seems to confuse quite a lot of people.)
Yes; the VRC6 expansion chip requires you to create at least one instrument in order for you to enable them.
To do that, place the cursor within one of the 3 channels for the expansion chip & create a new instrument (as normal). That instrument will only be compatible with the expansion chip's 3 channels.
If you're using the beta version of FamiTracker (downloadable from one of the forum threads,) the same steps apply for the FDS & VRC7 expansion chips.
In all cases, you don't need to create any special instruments for MMC5.
