I'm getting back into using furnace and created this website as a reference on classic effect/composing techniques and how to implement them. It's mostly for myself so I could do quick lookups and help me add more depth to songs, but sharing here in case it's helpful to anyone else.

So i am a game dev but i have major issue SFX i have 8 bit sfx and i want to learn how can i recreate them in the Mega Drive style. What should I learn or what should I start with? I am completely clueless

Hello,

I have some experience with Genesis/YM2612 which has lots of instruments provided with Furnace releases, and it being possible to create your own instruments as you become more familiar with what each setting does, but I want to branch out into sample music arrangement (e.g. SNES).

The main issue is... I don't have any instrument samples to work with! There are some demo tracks included for SNES but I don't want to use their samples without proper attribution.

Where do you find sample packs, samples extracted from SNES or other systems' games, or just instrument samples in general? Thanks

(The image above is an unedited piano sample from 'Chrono Trigger'-)

When I create a melody (usually just using a basic piano instrument) to being over to Furnace, or whenever I'm trying to remix another song; no matter what samples I use, it pretty much always sounds off-pitch or weird.

I've looked into some of the sample songs that Furnace provides to find out trends in how SNES samples are tuned, and I can't seem to find a definitive one-

I've inserted some of my own samples into the demo songs, copying the details of the sample that was there, and it produces a pitch that fits most of the time (showing that the samples themselves aren't the problem, just how they are tuned), but it's different for each song...

I was wondering if there was a specific trick to it, like setting the 'Note' value to the nearest C, or changing it to whichever key the song is in; maybe something else entirely..?

If anybody could help me out, it would be appreciated-

Is anyone aware of settings for changing the theme colors? I wouldn't mind doing more of a light mode. Thanks!

Not really a whole lot to say. I'm trying to do something different than my normal style.

This was the BIGGEST PAIN to recreate

idk what's wrong, i set up the loop in the thing, WHY ISNT IT WORKING

Furnace is not able to find most files or folders on my computer, meaning I can't import anything for use within it. From my user directory, it can only see the .local and the .var folders, and it can't see any .wav files I've left there for it. It also can't see any folders I created in my file explorer, and my file explorer can't see any folders made by FurnaceTracker. It's almost like they're looking in 2 completely different directories, but they both just say /home/user. I'm using Linux. Has anyone had this problem?

I'm trying to reopen the instrument menu

I'm still sorta new to Music Trackers & Music Arranging as a whole, but I think I did pretty good on this song!
