@theones77 It's triangle, not sawtooth. Due to the triangle channel being one octave lower and having a softer sound than the square channels, songs that have a bassline typically use the triangle channel for that. By doing a fast pitch-slide down, you can also create drum-like sounds on it (Gremlins 2 and Journey to Silius soundtracks are great examples of that -- they have the bassline on the DPCM channel, thus "freeing up" the triangle channel for other uses).
@theones77 The VRC6 expansion chip has a sawtooth channel. Otherwise, no. You definitely may have encountered games with sawtooth waves then, but most wouldn't have it
One thing that Famitracker has now that Fasttracker doesn't is it's support for the Nintendo MMC5, FDS and Konami VRC6 and VRC7 channels. It's almost impossible to emulate those channels on Fasttracker.
@Doommaster1994 Emulating the sound in Fasttracker is not the goal (for me, at least). I'm just using FT as a sequencer, and then mapping the contents of the FT patterns to NES hardware channels. I'm sure that approach extends to MMC5 et al as well.
1:31 That was a funny joke!

the nes doesn't have a sawtooth wave channel? that sounds wrong to me, unless the sounds i've heard are a mixture of more than one wave.
