For the sake of possibly better compatibility with other programs, i'd suggest to change variable name to more specific, say use "ROBOPLAY" instead of just "PROGRAM" (other developers might consider it to be a good variable name for their programs so it is good to be specific to your product and use non-generic words for environment vars)

"PROGRAM" is an environment variable assigned by MSX-DOS itself the moment an application is started. It is not set up manually (like the original "ROBOPLAY" variable was) meaning it's always unique for every started application.

Works great! Those old FAC soundtracker tunes sound really good when played on my moonsound and a pair of good speakers. Enjoyed them more now than 30 years ago. (Or am I getting old and nostalgic? )

Added sample kit support to the FAC Soundtracker player, see this video for a first test run. Still needs some fine tuning in the sample handling.

The ADPCM to PCM conversion during loading takes quite some time, especially when not using a Turbo-R :P

@ToriHino, did you post some compiled builds? Looking at your Gitlab page, I only see sources but I can't use sources... Or is it too early for an alpha builds? Of course, I might have missed it, but the version on MSX.org is from 2019. I've just received my MSXBlaster and I want to start abusing it right away. Thanks

I just updated with the latest current version, so including sample support within FST. Now adding them to the MoonBlaster player as well...
