I don't want N106 because I can just use PPMCK, trolololo
edit: ok srsly it'll happen when it happens, he said he's been working on it so you can assume it's gonna happen someday, but it's not that big of a deal.
Ah, I really really hope this format is supported at some point... It seems like an interesting thing to play around with, but I haven't really seen any exact specifications on how it works. I tried working with it in MML but... You can only use an odd-number when setting the amount of points in the wave form? And something about no vibrato? And something about linking together multiple waves into one?? So many questions...

Not quite... Waveforms are defined by a minimum of 4 samples, which you can increase to a maximum of 32 in increments of 4. The actual maximum length of your waveforms will depend on the amount of channels you have enabled, and the amount of buffers you want to use. The first number in the waveform selects the buffer, which is a slot in which a waveform can sit... You can assign several waveforms to a given buffer, but each one can only called once at any given time in your tune. I usually separate it from the waveform with a comma, like so:
That's only true if you forget to add #PITCH-CORRECTION in your MML header. Adding in that line lets you use SA<num> on your NAMCO163 tracks, which in turn enables vibrato, pitch envelopes, etc.

Not familiar with that one, but I think it has something to do with switching between two or three (or more, if you have the patience) different but nearly identical waveforms really fast to create the illusion of a more complex wave. This NSF by ionustron is the best example I can give you (look at track P, for instance).
Actually yes, you've pretty much explained everything, thank you!
I'm still a little lost on how it works, but it's the kind of thing I'd have to do myself to understand, I'm not that great at following instructions and explanations, but you definitely made it clearer.
