The YM3526, introduced in 1984, was the first in the OPL family, providing a nine channel, two operator synthesizer. A very closely related chip is the Y8950, or MSX-AUDIO, which was used as an MSX expansion. It is essentially a YM3526 with ADPCM recording and playback capability. The circuit has 244 different write-only registers. It can produce 9 channels of sound, each made of two oscillators or 6 channels with 5 percussion instruments available. Each oscillator can produce sine waves and has its own ADSR envelope generator. Its main method of synthesis is frequency modulation synthesis, accomplished via phase modulation of the phase of one channel's oscillators by the output of another. The YM3526's output, a sequence of floating point numbers clocked at a sampling frequency of approximately 49716 Hz, is sent to a separate digital-to-analog converter (DAC) chip, the YM3014B.
okay bro, this one's also awesome!!! always a treat to listen to this. i really love those synthesized drums a LOT. really differenciates you from the john tay cover and the original. both are good in their own way, but this one is like really impressive because it's not sampled drums! tbh it sounds better than an amen break as the drumline and some sonic 2 toms for the... well, toms.

In an alternate universe where the OPL was used more than other Yamaha chips
2 operator moment
For a second I thought this was a Genesis song!
That's really impressive, especially for the bare-bones OPL! :O
Nice to see more covers of this song, I loved the original and John Tay's take on it, and yours belongs with them. Good job on this

How can you get such sounds out of such a seemingly simple chip? You're sick, Abstract. You are amazing
Man I’m so glad I stumbled onto this channel a month ago
same ngl
WOOOOOO
good baby
You got that in demos! Nice!
Impressive! I love this!
that tom is just (chef's kiss)
the *b i k e*
Impressive.
Yo more Thiel
Yes
ayo its him 😳
Perfect.
Damn impressive!
ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ
LETS GO GREEN BOKER GUY
damn this is some good shit
Nice OPL cover, how did you make those realistic sounding FM drums? They sound so groovy!😄🤩😎👌
10/10
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
What a Rayonova Banger
Rayo(1e+100)/100
holy shto
This is all in fm right? Which means that if you do a bit of changing wave forms and compression, you could put this on a Sega genisis.
in fact, it would sound even better than this on a genesis
