Chip Configuration
The following options are available in the Chip Manager window:
- Disable easy period to note mapping on upper octaves: Furnace maps the notes in the upper octaves to periods for easier noise tuning. This option allows you to disable this feature.
The independent noise frequency makes the T6W28 more flexible than the standard SN76489 for creating varied sound effects.
