Minor bug - sawtooth at 1 volume is displayed at having 0 volume in the 'green-squares-o-meter' beneath the channel's name, but it's still playing something audible.
The VRC6 sawtooth has more than 16 volume values (it has 64, to be exact), so I suppose displaying its state on 16 dots is prone to giving rounding errors.

Agreed - but I would round '1 volume' up to 'display 1 green dot', since '0 green dots' implies 'absolutely nothing is playing here'
Well, as I remember, the first time I got this I tried adjusting everything but nothing worked. Now I left the FTM which had this bug opened for a few hours, and now it's back to normal. I can input notes or just try an instrument and it sounds loud and clear. This is really weird.
EDIT: For some reason, a minidump popped up in my FamiTracker folder. I don't know what it could be, but I will put it here, just in case.
This is possibly a bug with the arpeggio or the pitch envelope.
I'm emulating capcom's early way of halting the triangle channel by setting its period to 0 (which makes a pop)
It works perfectly in FT, but exported to .nsf, I get random jumps to A-0 instead of the popping sound, so my guess is that one of the envelopes wraps instead of not allowing you to go higher. (Listen to the Fireman track for the problem)
I checked this and arpeggio is clipped incorrectly when exported.
Btw setting the triangle period register to 0 doesn't actually halt the channel, but causes it to play a tone above audible frequencies. Famitracker approximates this by outputting a constant value, that's why it causes a pop. Other players might behave different, some just halts the channel.
Today I found something with VRC6 high tones, going from C-6 to B-7. I'd recommend to turn down the volume if you are wearing headphones.
Well, what I found is that these notes sound different in FamiTracker and NSF. I tested this with VirtuaNSF, but I don't know how other players would manage this.
See the attachments, Untitled goes for Sawtooth, and Untitled2 goes for Pulse 2 of VRC6, and perhaps Pulse 1.
