i wonder about how useful it really is, too. surely you should be able to get any effect you could possibly need with volume using the volume column, Axx and instrument volume envelopes? doesn't seem necessary to add another redundant and confusing effect for a parameter that is already well covered.
You mean cutting off the Axx effect before it gets all the way to 0, right? Well, that's a way to do it, yes, but it's hard to figure out exactly how far it'll fade.

The more I use FamiTracker (and tracker-style music programs in general), the more it feels like programming. And any programmer will tell you, you really need a good Find and Replace feature when you're writing code. I think FamiTracker would benefit greatly from it as well. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to replace all instances of one instrument with another in one fell swoop? Or, like, to find all Axx commands and go through, case by case, replacing the ones you want with Ayy. Or whatever. If Spankenstein's idea is implemented, you wouldn't necessarily need to have it automatically update the instrument numbers if this idea were also implemented.
Also, Tech, yes, that's possible, but if the BPM is too high, it gets hard to tell exactly at which row the volume got to the level you want. It would be so much easier to just be able to say "fade to here."
This actually brings another idea to my head. How hard would it be to put in an indicator, probably at the top of the channel, next to the volume bars, showing in one hex digit the last volume level played by that channel? It would be nice to have that kind of information preserved after you stop playback.

select an area
right click menu
replace all instances of note x with note y
bam
It'd really help for things like long sets of arpeggios.

This is a major advantage of MML and I have wanted this feature in FT for awhile too :P
I'm actually thinking this may or may not be a good idea because I get if there were DPCM volume control, it might really mess with the sample in some way. For instance, it could affect the DPCM volume the same way import volume control does, but if it were like that, it would affect the overall quality and pitch of the sample. If there could be only volume control, it'd be a great help though since you wouldn't have to make completely different samples with altering volumes and waste space in general for samples loaded.
Individual DMC volume is already a possibility when loading/importing samples (which you already mentioned); I doubt any other form of DPCM volume control is supported by the 2a03, though.
That's why I was thinking, it may be possible to make it so where you put a number in the DPCM volume column, it would adjust the volume level of the sample instead of having to import yet another sample just with a different volume.
It hasn't been implemented because it's not possible.
It's possible but it would waste memory space (ft would have to create a duplicate sample at x% volume for each volume value). Maybe allow the user to manually bind samples to volume ranges... but i don't like that solution either.
