As of now I have two projects where I have started writing some melodies and stuff.
In one of them I made some nice instruments that I like. Is there a smart way to transfer some or all of them to my other project ? ( short of recreating them by hand )
Can the famitracker instrument scheme be used for that ? I have never used famitracker.
If that is not a feature that is ok, I just want to know for sure.
Ha! There is actually a clever hack for this!
If you copy some notes from one project to the other and it realizes that the instruments are missing (it will matches them by name, so careful!), FamiStudio will ask you if you want to create the missing ones. Just say yes, and boom, you have your instruments!
This was covered in a previous tutorial (that I dont recommend watching, its pretty bad!). Here is the clip:

Nice! I am glad there is a way. I had tried to drag the instrument itself from one instance to the other but it did not occur to me to try with the notes. I suppose a workaround could be to export to Famitracker, then use famitracker to export the instrument file.
On a side note, I had checked in the written documentation first and this trick does not seem to be included in the written manual.
Thanks again for the help.
