Already on MacOS, app store. Linux not likely, runs very well on Wine.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah you can import "samples" which are limited to 60 seconds right now, and drop-and-drop does not work yet, as you saw. There will be proper raw sample tracks for vocals in the future, but alas, not yet.

In the project explorer (right side panel) look at the top where it says something like "Project -> Song 1 -> Channel XYZ" and click on the project. This is like a folder structure you can navigate. At the root of the project is a list of samples, press the (+) Add button to load some. Then you can use those in a PCM sampler generator, but assigning them to the sample map . The documentation is extremely lacking regarding this and will improve in the future.

Thanks!!!

Probably not. There are some countries where these kind of license (or IP law in general) isn't respected at all, and i am not sending cease and desist letters oversea. I'm a coder, not a lawyer.

Thanks! I'll try to keep wine super smooth. I already notice some little issues with missing pixels on Wine with Intel GPUs, I hope to fix that soon.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe i'll do a demo one day, i'll be honest I focus on coding the app and very little time went into the "how to distribute it". I just uploaded it and set a price. I'll try to think of something better in the future. My idea right now was the the Windows version is basically the demo until we get something better.

Native linux, probably not, Im so busy with 4 platforms, Linux support tend to be a bit scary since every distro/hardware behave slightly differently, in meantime ill commit to making sure it runs buttery smooth on wine.

I dont know about that synth but it seems to have a lot of stuff. My plan is to have smaller pieces that you decide how to combine. Well see how that goes.

We have something like that in my other app (FamiStudio), unfortunately it hasnt carried over to KiraStudio since I rewrote a lot of the code. I'll try to bring that back eventually.

Oh sorry about the crash. Remember there are autosaves every 2 minutes (in the settings you can open the folder). So if it happens again, you pretty much never loose work.

Probably not unfortunately since there is a paid version. My other app FamiStudio is open source, you can check that out.

Yes this has already been requested. I put it in the TODO list, cant really tell you when this will come tho. This is just a hobby, i work on it in my spare time.

Hi! That's a bit worrying. First thing would be to see if you can upgrade your graphics drivers. Otherwise, its a bit difficult to diagnose without more information. Come to see us on Discord if you ever want to give us more info.

Yes, your songs are yours, no strings attached.

Wine runs perfectly.

Mac app store, link is there. Click it.

Sorry no Linux port this time. But it runs buttery smooth with Wine according to multiple reports.

In my timezone the day was right ;)

lol

Not sure what the question is. If you mean sf2 as in soundfonts, no. FamiStudio is for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom. That's all it does. Its not a generic DAW or anything.

No. Piano roll only, sorry.

Hi! There is one case where MM:SS:MMM isnt supported and that's when using FamiTracker tempo mode.  Are you using this mode by any chance? Otherwise it sounds like a real bug!

-Mat

I understand. Ill have another small tutorial coming soon but its about more "advanced" stuff, probably not what you have in mind.

I only have so much time to dedicate to this. At some point the community also needs to step up and make their own tutorials, share their songs, games, etc. and spread the word! :)

Hi.

Expansion audio is selected in the project properties. VRC6 is the one that had a saw channel.

You should take some time to watch the 1h tutorial. Best of luck.

Hi!

Just a reminder that the preferred way of asking questions is through the FamiStudio Discord server.

Thanks!

🤗

Thanks! 😇

Oh thats great news! Thanks for reporting back!

Is there any error message you could give me so I can help you better?

Also, in version 2.2.0, the files are already renamed, so you shouldnt have had to do anything.

EDIT: You could also jump in the discord to make debugging this faster.  (https://discord.gg/88UPmxh)

I'm not in front of my Linux machine right now, but my guess would be that maybe you grabbed a more recent version of a dependency in MonoDevelop?

I use very specific version (GTK# 2.12, OpenTK 3.1.0) i think and have no plan to update anything at the moment as things are pretty stable on all platforms. For example, I know GTK 3 has been out for almost 10 years and OpenTK has a 3.2.0 version, but i have no need to update. :)

I do prefer your option name, even if it is just as wordy.

-Mat

Yes it is.

So I made it so that it only disables dragging sounds only when the sound is playing. This should give you the best of both world. You'll get silence when you are looping on your pattern, and you'll get audio preview otherwise. 

Btw if you have an idea for a shorter name for this option, let me know. Its very wordy right now.

Hi. I dont have any plans to support exporting to these other systems, there is too much work to do around the NES already. Your best route would be to look at the FamiStudio Text export format, and write yourself a little piece of code that translate the music from one format to the other.

-Mat

Hi! 

Thanks for the feedback. Seems like a fair enough request.

The only thing is that it might end up in the settings menu, is that OK with you? I don't want to add new toolbar buttons for very specific workflows, its getting crowded up there already!

-Mat

Right now MIDI support is very basic. You will be able to play notes on your controller and hear the selected instrument/channel in FamiStudio, but that's about it. There is no recording functionality at the moment unfortunately.

-Mat

Haha, well first let me finish this version, probably still 1 month to go :)

Not a lot of good songs on the FDS library unfortunately. Maybe you can make up your own?

-Mat

Finally gathered all the parts to make this a reality.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out.

Could you try the solution in the troubleshooting section of the documentation and report back? This has worked for all users with this issue so far.

-Mat

Ok, this seem to happen a lot with OLD version of Mono. 4.x is definately old.

Can you try this:

- Rename NesSndEmu.so to libNesSndEmu.so
- Rename NotSoFatso.so to libNotSoFatso.so

(basically add "lib" prefix to both names)

Thanks and let me know if that work.

-Mat

Awesome!!

Windows 7 SP1 is supported and was working last time i tested.
Be sure to install everything that is mentioned in the documentation.

Oh no problem. You could create yourself a shortcut with a nice icon to avoid having to run it from the terminal next time. :)
