I suppose this is directed to rainwarrior, but maybe someone else has a solution.

I've had a lot of fun poking around with custom FDS waveforms in FamiTracker the past few days and trawling through FDS .nsfs to see how Fami composers used them in the 80s. NSFplay has a great track information view that lists out wave data, but I have to stretch the column beyond the bounds of the window and scroll back and forth to view the data. Even then, there's no way to copy the values besides hand-transcribing. Is there any easier way to log (or copy) the wave data?

Yes, there's a very easy way: http://rainwarrior.ca/projects/nes/nsfimport.html

Brilliant, thanks! Obviously missed that when I was on your site before...

This kind of logging will eventually be part of NSFPlay, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

It's not exactly the same as the FDS, but I did make a tool for the PCE/Turbo that lets you define/see/play/listen to waveforms which could be applied to the FDS' sound registers:

I made one of those for the Game Boy Advance (which uses a similar wavetable channel) a long time ago but never released it.
