Split from the 0.3.8b thread:
  1. offspring.ftm: FDS equivalent of N163's "Wave" instrument setting so that I do not have to go Fxx.

  2. Add a readily modifiable option whether deleting a note does NOT delete the instrument number and volume number on the same row, as in one of the earlier betas of 0.3.8.

  3. A transpose effect; or built-in transposition in the frame editor like klystrack.

  4. [liHexadecimal support for envelope strings.
  5. ^Simple built-in envelope generator.

  6. A release delay effect as opposed to mute delay (Sxx).

  7. ^Proper pitch control over N163 channels so that "pitch" instrument setting changes frequency register by 1h, "hi-pitch" changes by 10h and possibly an extra setting that changes by 100h.

  8. N163 frequency register tables that are not entirely multiples of 4h.

  9. ^Extrafine-pitching effect for N163 and in theory extrafine variations of ALL pitch-related effects. Time to use 2-digit effect indicator perhaps?!?!!? (SunVox, Renoise, Deflemask, Vortex etc.)

  10. ^Variable width for every character in the pattern editor, as well as more font sizes (in particular 6 and .

  11. A command to remove unused envelopes.

  12. Support for the VRC6 sawtooth channel's all volume steps.

  13. The ability to exchange instrument numbers.

^: low priority

The FDS can't change waves without halting the sound for a little bit, so an equivalent auto wave switch wouldn't really work so well on it.

Everything except N163 already has the finest pitch control possible, I believe.

What do you mean? I can't find any audible halt when I do that manually in the FDS channel. Is it some hardware feature that FamiTracker currently does not emulate?

Well, that is almost true. Qxy and Rxy are the only weird ones because they must increase/decrease the registers by an odd number, and Q1x is 3 times as fast as Q0x. This has led to undecidable moments in many FTM's I have seen.

I don't think FamiTracker emulates it; I think FamiTracker just does the switch immediately. FamiTracker is not emulating the CPU, which has to spend time uploading the data to the FDS. In a cycle-counting NSF player (i.e. anything that handles PCM) there should be some sort of gap while it reloads the waveform.
