FamiTracker
I want to be able to export the patterns of my tracks individually so that I can mix and match them together on the fly in a live setting with ableton.
I can accomplish this now by putting a C00 at the end of each pattern and creating a wav of each channel soloed, for every pattern, but this takes forever and is really tedious.
It would be great if we could export the entire track as loop stems, such that famitracker creates a new folder named after the track, then creates a wav for each pattern on each channel. So it would look something like:
track_name/
--track_name-sq1-00.wav
--track_name-sq1-01.wav
--track_name-sq2-00.wav
--track_name-sq2-01.wav
--track_name-tri-00.wav
--track_name-noi-00.wav
--track_name-dpcm-00.wav
--track_name-dpcm-01.wav
Also, I noticed that currently, famitracker adds a bit of silence to the beginning and end of exported wavs, so that would need to be fixed in order to make the loops useful.
1. mute all channels except the one you want
2. Export
3. Remove pastry from pouch
And if you're looking to mix the waves individually yourself, you really ought to have the technology to remove the silence yourself. Audacity is my choice of sound editor.

C00 because I want to isolate single patterns, and exporting the whole track and cutting it up into little loops won't be as precise. Especially since not all the patterns start with a note on the first row, so I'd have to be guessing at what point of silence the actual pattern begins, and it's just a headache. Not to mention that any imprecision in loop length will result in the different loops going out of sync with each other.
I've got a lot of tracks with a lot of patterns and this could be automated and be way more precise than anything I could achieve by hand. I doubt that implementing it would be very difficult since the exporting of WAV files is already there.
Maybe if there were a feature to export WAV playback for a certain frame once; something along the lines of "export frame xx to WAV 1x." That way, one can mute out all but the channel that's needed for that frame & export. I dig the idea.
