SSG support isn't a big deal if we can control it via FMDrive using the little-scale CC list. The actual ym2612 is just a big list of registers, so once the hardware is in it's just raw lines of code to make the callbacks to handle the CC events ;)
This hardware definitely can't keep up with PCM ...

"Proper key off" as opposed to decay/sustain expiry.
There comes a point after which you start getting limited returns. The MegaDrive is kind of noisy, and it's hard to get perfect output from a real ym2612 in the first place (ask me how I know, I was working on an amplifier and a mixing circuit to ...

It's not easily distillable into a wiki page. The NES has a square and triangle wave generator with 5 channels, and that's all you get. The YM2612 is basically a synthesizer with a real ADSR envelope and LFO and feedback and everything that goes with it. In order to make a wiki page with the same ...

It might be better for me to migrate off PAK and to something else. The only difference between PAK and TFI I think, besides the parameter-to-byte order, is that PAK has a header to contain the name of the instrument. It would probably be better for me to change and to consolidate on a standard file ...

I've been having some problems with op amps as voltage followers and preamps. I think the switching speed on them is too low or something and it causes distortion. The way the ym2612 does multichannel output is with time-division multiplexing, which it seems lots of cheap op amps have problems with ...

Dual-YM2612 hardware synthesizer
Heya peoples,
I finally got around to making some schematics for my dual-YM2612 synthesizer. There might be some bugs in the layout and my EE knowledge is limited so I may have done some dumb stuff. Rough draft ahead.
This device takes MIDI input through a standard 5-pin MIDI DIN connector ...

Learning how to make music so I can actually use the 2612 synth I made 
Also saving up for one of these http://www.mydiycnc.com/full_product so I can mill the circuit board myself.
