@edbrindley I can't tell you how grateful I am for this. Thank you. It's fun to listen to the examples, and this is my first go at making music for FM synthesis:

@shieladixon @edbrindley Oh, wow. That's not bad for a "firsty".

And here we have yet another sound card which could be made to work with your #midi interface ... imagine how cool it must be to have the SID, AY and OPL3 perform together ...

Also, it's so cool to see #rc2014 and the #opl3 work together so well. #Z80 and #CPM80 ... made to last ...

@shieladixon wow that's fantastic! Glad that you have got some use out of it 🙂

I have made a couple of footprint fixes to the board so will do an R2 soon but nothing major (these are currently on a branch)

I also have an incomplete OPL2 design (for those allergic to SMD 🙂) that I may finish at some point.

My first FM synth board was an OPM card (the one I brought to EMF! https://github.com/electrified/rc2014-ym2151) but it's use in the Commander X16 made the ICs jump up in price / harder to obtain 😞

@shieladixon I see the view count on the video keeps going up. Impressive!

Have you listened to any of the OPL3 music by Abstract 64? Some really interesting instruments/patches e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN43F-lIk5c

Lots of other great stuff on the channel too - Crystal Oscillator is another good tune.

yet to be finished cover of eon (YMF262)

@edbrindley yes that one has been remarkably popular. There's a lot of nostalgia for DOS gaming out there! I wasn't aware of Abstract 64, glad you mentioned it. (I was aware of the Amiga EON demo, it's stunning!)
