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, that via software mixing, thanks to Z80 sound CPU, can play more than one channel of straight-shot samples at once.

as of Furnace 0.6pre5, Furnace offers DualPCM, a Z80 driver that splits channel 6 into two individual PCM channels with variable pitch. using the console's Z80 processor, these are mixed together in software and streamed to channel 6 in PCM mode with a mix rate of 13750 Hz. VGM export requires the "direct stream mode" option to be enabled, and resulting files will be very large.
