All of the songs I cooked in the furnace to get eaten.
If you don't know what this is, then it's just my interface of Furnace, the tracker where I usually make Sega Genesis music for fun. It's my secondary DAW for me.
It has actual Yamaha YM2612 FM emulation using Nuked-OPN2 along with the PSG mod[for TI-SN76489] for its playback and rendering.
That means I won't have to use fake recreations of mine using the Heisenberg to make music.
There's more variants for the YM2612, such as the YM3438[AKA OPN2C], which was used in many popular SEGA arcade boards [such as the SEGA System 32] and even later versions of the SEGA Genesis/Megadrive. There's also the YMF276[AKA OPN2L], A low-powered version of the YM3438 used in later FM Towns models. Unlike the YM2612 and YM3438, it required an external DAC chip, which is why it never had noticeable distortion, again unlike the two previous chips.
I understand if either, you have no idea about all of this technical info, or this is too much to handle. So, you don't have to read this if you're not looking for info on the YM2612 FM chip. I just wanna share about all of the knowledge I acquired from reading about this stupid chip.
The same thing I said with the Yamaha chip is also true for the Texas Instruments chip. You don't have to read all of this if you're not looking for info on these two chips.
Oh yeah, the TI in "TI-SN76489" stands for Texas Instruments. Yeah, remember that? It's the company that makes the physical calculators you sometimes see in your schools.
The SN76489 is the secondary chip in the Genesis/Megadrive that makes the Squares and the Hi-Hat sounds in certain soundtracks. It's in the Genesis/Megadrive for Backwards Compatibility with the Sega Master System [You know, the Power Base Converter and all], which also has the TI-SN76489.
This sound chip is also in the Sega Game Gear, and apparently, the Game Gear uses and additional flag register for Stereo Sound, like the Game Boy has.
The SN76489 is also in other Sega systems, like the SG-1000, but they're not really interesting to me.
