I made this (probably the most nostalgic Adlib tune for me!)
I think there is something weird with the synthesis, it was a pain in the ass to create matching sounds. It should work exactly like the OPL but...

Nice!
Thank you.
Turns out the OPL envelope is all kinds of funky (generally e.g. the attack is the exact opposite to what is in use here). I think the envelope generator in klystrack should overall be augmented so that you can pick if the attack/decay phase is exponential or linear or whatever.
That might be fun. Which version of klys was your demo on?
Cool just compiled the latest source on linux, so apparently if you add fm to square wave with the default sample you get an easy c64 square wave (with some extra resonance/echo) 
Any fm tips besides experiment?

Hmm, true! Just set the ratio so that the carrier multiplier is high and the modulator multiplier is low (makes the modulation as slow as possible in relation with the carrier frequency).
Tips... experiment more! Also, try pressing the octave and 5th buttons in the wave editor and modulate with that (it mixes the wave with itself creating a fat harmony). It's a bit like if you had one extra modulator that also modulates the carrier. Related to that, I'm working on a better waveform generator/editor (attn. n00bstar).

Groovy! Do you have a sound sample?

Um which is the carrier multiplier and which is the modulator multiplier...?
Edit: here's a screenshot since I don't have any particular tune going yet it's using the standard wave that gets first generated.

Looks like an amazing tracker! I can't believe I'm so late to the party! Just a question, does anyone know what the minimum system requirements are? Would this be usable on a Win98 Pentium II for example?
Win98 is too old, XP required. The very latest builds don't support Pentium II anymore but it should be enough at least for a simple song. The GUI is very heavy for how simple it actually is so you probably need to keep the window as small as possible.
Maybe I'm totally out of my mind at the moment, but the arp function via pattern commands seems to be broken to me. No matter on which channel or instrument I try, it won't work. Therefore I had to spent 22 Instruments in a track. Not that it bloats up the file too much. It even stays in the executable newschool boundaries with that s***load of instruments! Good work!
Am I doing anything wrong, or is it not implemented yet? Nontheless I'll keep experimenting with it and also did my revision entry with this awesome tool. Thank you kometbomb. 
That is odd. Did you try the demo songs that come with the program? Any arps in them?
