FamiTracker
Hello everyone. I am brand new to FamiTracker and have been running over the wiki and help files for some info about the channels in the program.
I have found a way to make a megaman style tom sound in the triangle channel. However, I want the triangle bass line to continue. Is there a way to add another triangle channel or has anyone come up with a method to make the tom sound via the noise channel?
I did a search of the existing threads looking for this issue but I was unable to find an answer to my question so I apologize if I've over looked something. Thanks for reading and any consideration you give my request!
If you use the FDS expansion you can make a triangle wave with the FDS. Otherwise you can try and make a triangle wave with the DPCM channel, but that's complicated.
In a real NES game though, you'd generally just have to learn to deal with only one triangle channel. Probably what you'd do is make the tom sound quick and resume the bassline directly after. In the thick of it, the listener might not really notice the interrupted bassline.
I see. I will try to figure out how to use the expansion. I have programmed midi tracks before on more modern programs so I'm not 100% green at it. I'll definitely take a crack at putting the toms in the middle of the bass line if I cannot figure out the FDS expansion.
Thanks a lot for the help!
If you don't mind my asking: I am trying to get my song to loop back on itself after the intro, but the end of my song is on a different frame. I am aware of the Bxx command but is there a way to specify the frame AND the line?
[EDIT] I clearly may just be using this incorrectly but I wanted to be more specific about what I'm trying to do as I -may- have found a bug. I have a song where in the first frame, I use line 00-19 on a brief intro. Line 1A starts the main melody. I want my song to start over from line 1A in the first frame from the last line of the last frame so I used D1A in the final space of the last frame. It does skip right back to the first frame, however, no matter what line I put in, it always starts at line 12. (As if I typed D12)
It looks to me like Dxx only works up to D0F? It might be a bug. Also it seems like Bxx and Dxx can't be used together.
What I would suggest is copy paste that first frame to a new frame at the end of the song, use backspace to delete the intro rows, and put a D00 on the end of it to shorten the pattern length.
That would explain the strange behavior. Yes, I am learning quickly that organizing the parts of your song by frames is pretty important as opposed to simply continuing randomly into the next frame wherever your song happens to be at the moment you run out of lines.
