Famitone2 problems

So, I've got some of the issues on this page (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10888&start=15) regarding famitone2. Mainly, the "pattern not found" error (Which I fixed the last time I tried using text2data by tinkering with the outputted text file) and the fact that the triangle wave is completely silent during gameplay. Anyone knows why both glitches actually happen and how to fix them?

2 dumb questions.

Did you assign a volume pattern sequence (envelope) to the triangle channel instrument?

Are you sure that Triangle sound is on in the emulator? I sometimes turn them on and off to isolate different sounds.

It probably would be easier to identify the problem of you posted the FTM or the txt2data file or the ROM.

Or, even just cut and paste the top of the data file, where it describes the instruments...might help... if you don't want to share the song for some reason.

I did a bit more tinkering and I believe the triangle problem lies within the envelopes. I modified the outputted asm file to have this, where I simply changed instrument $00's envelope to 20, since .env0 doesn't work for some unknown reason.
The other problem is fixed though :)
Also, It may be hard to believe but since everything I compose is crappy, I don't know anything about the APU, just the basic stuff.
Here is the problematic part

Well, for one thing. env0 is silence. The second nibble is the volume. x0 = volume zero. Maybe why it didn't work.

Do you know which envelope the triangle channel uses?

And, env19 looks weird. That's on instruments 3 and 6.

Edit: compared to a working Famitone2 file, it doesn't look so weird. I don't spot the error.


And, going back to the original FT text output, volume sequence 9 is all zeros, which Famitone seems to be trying to skip as invalid. Maybe that caused an issue.
