Faunatone

is a MIDI tracker written by Jangler and designed with microtuning in mind. This article documents how Faunatone can be used for various BotB formats. For non-MIDI formats, this is usually a question of having an appropriate plugin that supports independent, multi-channel pitch bends.

adlib, opl2, opl3

---

No support due to lack of export format; however, adljack

can be used for OPL3 emulation.

allgear, fakebit, wildchip

---

Some MPE synths (like Surge XT

) are compatible with Faunatone's MPE mode. Drum machines/plugins normally work fine in any mode.

midi

---

Faunatone supports MSGS MIDI in its GM and GS modes.

mt32

---

Faunatone's MT-32 mode provides MT-32 compatibility.

remix

---

One option is to use Polyphone

to create a soundfont from the samples in the bitpack, then use BassMidi VSTi

or VirtualMIDISynth

for playback.

sc55

---

Faunatone's GS mode helps with navigating GS CCs and patches.

sgen

---

Genny

is unstable (buggy, crashes) but can probably be used with Faunatone. adljack

can be used for OPN2 emulation, but lacks export.

spc

---

C700

is compatible with Faunatone if each Faunatone channel is given a MIDI channel range of 1-8.

xg

---

Faunatone's XG mode helps with navigating XG CCs and patches. XG features that use SysEx (notably insert effects) are not currently supported.
