FamiTracker
hehe, this is an area i haven't explored yet, simply because it seems insanely difficult to do (and especially do well.) and i mean look, you have a billion instruments just for that short thing. i wonder if there could be some more elegant way of handling FDS waves in famitracker though. maybe setting them up on a separate screen somewhere, and then recalling them using Vxx commands... having up to 255 Vxx commands would be more reasonable and managable than 255 FDS instruments :D though both situations do seem insane.
anyway, this way, just like duty of a 2a03 instrument can be empty, so could an FDS instrument's wave setting... which could then be controlled by Vxx instead if one so chooses. would help hugely with redundant instruments. i remember having lots of duplicate instruments in the past before Vxx was implemented.
cool though. i want to hear more tunes using this technique. the MCK ones always intrigued me.
Ah well I never really explained how I did it. It wasn't actually as difficult as it seemed (although anything longer than that would have been a real pain :P).
I used the Windows built-in text to speech program and set the speed to highest (to reduce sound length) and recorded it in Audacity.
From there, I zoomed into the recorded sound and copied each individual section into a separate instrument. I just drew the waveforms in, nothing complex.
Then I just set all the instruments in a row and hoped for the best :P.
I think being able to store waves inside the FDS instrument would help tremendously, I really like the idea of being able to call them up with the Vxx command. (And I mean this for normal use of the FDS chip, not just trying to make it talk :P)

absolutely, yeah. it'd be useful functionality to have regardless of what you're doing. it sucks when you just want to change one characteristic of a sound and you find the only way to do it is make a whole new instrument and duplicate all the settings. FM settings need effect column control as well. would be awesome~
