This excites me

dude this is creeping me out

Ok so imessed with the z comand and its pretty subtle but its worth it also  you can inxorporate the click with the beat.ill post results if something cool happens. I remember messing with it a while ago and it wouldn't export the same clicks that where audible in famitracker.

Btw, reasons I love chiptune number 1: people getting hyphy as fuck over something supposedly as simple as triangle wave volume modulation

ya'll are awesome

yo dawg u need to chk out dis program fruity logic studio live pro 8. shits got mad everything

triangle channel volume control?

Right for two reasons actually.  Setting Z7F in FamiTracker makes a direct write to $4011 (the 7-bit DAC register; basically the raw audio sample register).  $7F is 127 decimal; which is the highest sample position and number for the 7-bit register.  This corresponds to volume as well.  $7F in a DPCM decoded sample (or a directly written 7-bit PCM sample) to the DAC is the highest "volume" marker in the sample waveform that can be made in 7-bits.  So basically even though you aren't hearing anything, it's basically a loud low frequency drone.  The triangle and noise channel pins are all shared with the DPCM channel going to the audio out on the NES/Famicom.  So if the DPCM channel is droning a loud low frequency, then the triangle and noise channels are in competition with it.  So basically it would be like two people trying to speak on stage without amplification while an amplifier connected to nothing is turned on next to them with the gain all the way up; drowning out a lot of their speech with the low frequency.

yea, Z7F = approx 50% tri volume, but you get a wicked popping noise, moreso than usual anyway. having actual vol control on the tri would pretty freakin awesome. this is quite a breakthrough. i wish you the best of luck sir

ahhh alright FINE

:slams the door:

I'm not sure about the specifics, but there's a trick like that where you're able to get 50% volume on the triangle channel but thats about it

i was thinking a while ago, couldn't you do some clever DPCM delta counter programming to act as a volume control for the triangle channel?

this is rad. that is all.

Yes. I figure that the triangle waveform starts at 0, goes up 15 steps, then goes down 15 steps. You could make a few 32 sample (or step) wave tables -- maybe 75%, 50%, 25%, and 12.5% volume that could follow the same frequency tables; but full 4-bit (16 step) volume would be impractical.

Distortion loop commands or filters might be cool too.
