There is a problem exporting or importing instruments with DPCM data
A pickbass instrument from archive from the last post is not loaded fully after exporting it and importing it to a new song
There should be a reverb/echo command. I know you can just simply copy and paste onto the second channel but sometimes you have to write at a very fast tempo to write the reverb you want. Just a suggestion.
Auto-echo was requested a few times. You should understand that for now it was actually implemented only in Neil Baldwin tools, there are no chip or other trackers with auto-echo on the note text level (there are modern ones with actual reverb/delay, though).
Well, it was implemented in some Game Boy Color sound tools like MuSyX, but obviously those aren't made available to the public, and is completely irrelevant to NES music creation.
On top of it, the 2A03 chip is quite simplistic when compared to other sound chips (with respect to how the original NES consoles were constructed).
That said, you can produce an echo sound by copying the same tune to both square wave channels (with good volume envelops) & offset all the notes of one channel down one space.

They were official development tools released by Nintendo, developed by Factor 5. They were for the Game Boy Color..actually it was Game Boy Advance but the example I heard was using the GBC chip.

Having just two channels with controllable volume, this kind of echo could be used only when second channel is free. We speak about auto echo which is the single channel echo, it inserts feedback notes in pauses between the notes on the channel, if feedback volume is higher than volume of the note. It is doable by hand, but it is tedious work, and auto echo could produce better result with no work at all (in exchange for CPU time and large amount of RAM). Neil Baldwin's implementations (1, 2) shows pretty impressive results. The only drawbacks I can see from composer's point of view is that auto echo is less controllable, and it makes the sound somewhat 'uniform' (specific echoing is usually distinctive feature of different composers). However, auto echo does not cancel possibility of manual echo, so it is good thing which is would be nice to have.

there was a thread on 8bitcollective a while back in regards to the Niel Baldwin echo effect, it was also posted on the request list here, but he has offered the code to jsr to implement it in famitracker. so im assuming all he needs to do is ask for it.
