Raw Blame History

Yamaha YM2612

one of two chips that powered the Sega Genesis. It is a six-channel, four-operator FM synthesizer. Channel #6 can be turned into 8-bit PCM player.

For 0.6pre1, Furnace can now support advanced YM2612 features that Fractal sound driver adds: two software-mixed PCM channels (variable pitch, sample offsets, max 13.7 khz rate) and CSM - ch3 special mode feature that can be abused to produce rudimentary speech synthesis.

effects
