### Version 0.2.2

- Overloaded `NE0` / `NE1` for noise reset enable effect
- Added SN76489 stereo separation to mixer menu
- Added `NE0` / `NE1` noise reset enable effect
- Re-added file association
- SN76489 VGM logger now eliminates extra register writes that have no side effects
- Extended VGM header size so that it will not be misinterpreted by certain players
- Fixed text export and import (for SN7T only)

### Version 0.2.1

- Overloaded `Nxx` for Game Gear stereo control
- Overloaded `N00` - `N1F` for Game Gear stereo control
- Channels no longer reduce to zero volume when the mixed volume is less than 0 (to match 0CC-FT's 5B behaviour)
- Fixed arpeggio on noise channel now maps 0 to `L-#` and 2 to `H-#` **(backward-incompatible change, modify your modules accordingly)**
- Fixed VGM logs putting 0 in the sample count fields

## Sound Chips

#### Texas Instruments SN76489 (PSG)
#### Texas Instruments SN76489

_(TODO)_
- Square channel, 4-bit volume, 10-bit pitch (x3)
- Noise channel, 4-bit volume, 3 pitches or pitch follows channel 3, long/short periodic noise with phase reset (x1)

###### Variants

- _(TODO)_

#### Game Gear (PSG)

- Same as SN76489, except all channels have L/R hardpanning

#### T6W28 (NGP)

_(TODO)_
- Square channel, 4-bit L/R volume, 10-bit pitch (x3)
- Noise channel, 4-bit L/R volume, 10-bit pitch, long/short periodic noise with phase reset (x1)

Under the **Tracker** menu is a new option called "Log VGM File...". Select it to save a VGM file, then play any song to start logging all audio events, and stop the player to finish logging.

#### Stereo Separation

The mixer menu can now configure the volume of each SN76489 output channel, as well as the stereo separation between them; 0% is effectively the same as mono audio, 100% is the default separation.

## Compatibility

SnevenTracker modules (`.snm` files) share the same format with `.ftm` and `.0cc` files but are incompatible with them. Copying and pasting of frames and patterns still works across these trackers.

# SnevenTracker

SnevenTracker (SN76489 Tracker) is a fork of FamiTracker version 0.4.6 that
emulates the Texas Instruments SN76489 sound chip, which is used in a wide
variety of computers and gaming consoles. The project's ultimate aim is to
implement multiple sound chips in a more modular manner than 0.4.6, in order to
provide insight into eventually supporting them in

### To-do

- Should support multiple master clock rates and both versions of the LFSR
- Should support two instances of the SN76489, plus an extra sound chip
- Should support all sound chips as described in the notes
- KSS export is planned, but low priority
