settings are saved when clicking the OK button at the bottom of the dialog.

General

  • Workspace layout

    • Import: reads a .ini layout file.
    • Export: writes current layout to a .ini file.
    • Reset: resets layout to default.

  • Initial system: the system of chips loaded on starting Furnace.

    • Current system: sets current chips as default.
    • Randomize: set default to a random system.
      • this will not choose a random system at each start.
    • Reset to defaults: sets default to "Sega Genesis/Mega Drive".
    • Name: name for the default system. may be set to any text.
    • system configuration: same as in the chip manager and mixer.

  • Play intro on start-up:

    • No: skips intro entirely.
    • Short: shows silent title screen briefly.
    • Full (short when loading song): shows animated musical intro unless started with a song (command line, double-clicking a .fur file, etc.)
    • Full (always): always shows animated musical intro.

  • When creating new song:

    • Display system preset selector
    • Start with initial system

  • Double-click time (seconds): maximum time between mouse clicks to recognize them as a double-click.

  • Toggle channel solo on: select which interactions with a channel header will toggle solo for that channel.

  • Push value when overwriting instead of clearing it: in the order list and pattern editors, typing into an already-filled value will shift digits instead of starting fresh.

    • if off: moving the cursor onto the value A5 and typing a "B" results in 0B.
    • if on: with the cursor on the value A5 and typing a "B" results in 5B.

  • Move cursor up on backspace-delete

  • Move cursor by edit step on delete

  • Change current instrument when changing instrument column (absorb)

  • Delete effect value when deleting effect

  • Change order when scrolling outside of pattern bounds:

    • if off, the pattern edit cursor will stay locked within the current order.
    • if on, moving the cursor past the edge of the previous or next order will move to that order.

  • Move cursor by edit step on insert (push)

  • Move cursor to end of clipboard content when pasting

  • Don't scroll when moving cursor

  • Double click selects entire column

  • Allow docking editors

  • Don't raise pattern editor on click

  • Focus pattern editor when selecting instrument

  • Restart song when changing chip properties

  • Use system file picker: use native OS file dialog instead of Furnace's.

  • Only allow window movement when clicking on title bar

  • Enable event delay

    • may cause issues with high-polling-rate mice when previewing notes.

  • Power-saving mode

    • saves power by lowering the frame rate to 2fps when idle.
    • may cause issues under Mesa drivers!

  • Disable threaded input (restart after changing!)

    • threaded input processes key presses for note preview on a separate thread (on supported platforms), which reduces latency.
    • however, crashes have been reported when threaded input is on. enable this option if that is the case.

  • Remember window position

    • remembers the window's last position on start-up.

  • New instruments are blank

  • Save unused patterns

  • Compress when saving

    • use zlib to compress saved songs.

  • Cursor follows current order when moving it

    • applies when playback is stopped.

  • Audio export loop/fade out time:

    • Set to these values on start-up:
      • Loops: number of additional times to play through 0Bxx song loop.
      • Fade out (seconds): length of fade out after final loop.
    • Remember last values

  • Note preview behavior:

    • Never
    • When cursor is in Note column
    • When cursor is in Note column or not in edit mode
    • Always

  • Wrap pattern cursor horizontally:

    • No
    • Yes
    • Yes, and move to next/prev row

  • Wrap pattern cursor vertically:

    • No
    • Yes
    • Yes, and move to next/prev pattern

  • Cursor movement keys behavior:

    • Move by one
    • Move by Edit Step

  • Effect input cursor behavior:

    • Move down
    • Move to effect value (otherwise move down)
    • Move to effect value/next effect and wrap around

  • Allow dragging selection:

    • No
    • Yes
    • Yes (while holding Ctrl only)

Audio/MIDI

  • Backend: select SDL or JACK for audio output.

    • only appears on Linux, or MacOS compiled with JACK support

  • Device: audio device for playback.

  • Sample rate

  • Outputs: select number of audio outputs created, up to 16.

    • only appears when Backend is JACK.

  • Channels: number of output channels to use.

  • Buffer size: size of buffer in both samples and milliseconds.

  • Quality: selects quality of resampling. low quality reduces CPU load.

  • Metronome volume

  • Low-latency mode (experimental!): reduces latency by running the engine faster than the tick rate. useful for live playback/jam mode.

    • warning: experimental! may produce glitches. only enable if your buffer size is small (10ms or less).

  • Force mono audio

  • Software clipping: clips output to nominal range (-1.0 to 1.0) before passing it to the audio device.

    • this avoids activating Windows' built-in limiter.

  • want: displays requested audio configuration.

  • got: displays actual audio configuration returned by audio backend.
