# 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, 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.

# effects
- `10xy`: **set LFO parameters.**
2022-01-16 06:10:43 +00:00
- `x` toggles the LFO.
- `y` sets its speed.
- `11xx`: **set feedback of channel.**
- `12xx`: **set operator 1 level.**
- `13xx`: **set operator 2 level.**
- `14xx`: **set operator 3 level.**
- `15xx`: **set operator 4 level.**
- `16xy`: **set multiplier of operator.**
2022-01-16 06:10:43 +00:00
- `x` is the operator (1-4).
2023-05-20 22:21:51 +00:00
- `y` is the multiplier.
- `17xx`: **enable PCM channel.**
2022-01-16 06:10:43 +00:00
- this only works on channel 6.
- `18xx`: **toggle extended channel 3 mode.**
2022-01-16 06:10:43 +00:00
- 0 disables it and 1 enables it.
2022-10-16 05:53:05 +00:00
- only in extended channel 3 chip.
- `19xx`: **set attack of all operators.**
- `1Axx`: **set attack of operator 1.**
- `1Bxx`: **set attack of operator 2.**
- `1Cxx`: **set attack of operator 3.**
- `1Dxx`: **set attack of operator 4.**
- `30xx`: **enable envelope hard reset.**
- this works by inserting a quick release and tiny delay before a new note.
- `50xy`: **set AM of operator.**
- `x` is the operator (1-4). a value of 0 means "all operators".
- `y` determines whether AM is on.
- `51xy`: **set SL of operator.**
- `x` is the operator (1-4). a value of 0 means "all operators".
- `y` is the value.
- `52xy`: **set RR of operator.**
- `x` is the operator (1-4). a value of 0 means "all operators".
- `y` is the value.
- `53xy`: **set DT of operator.**
- `x` is the operator (1-4). a value of 0 means "all operators".
- `y` is the value:
- `0`: -3
- `1`: -2
- `2`: -1
- `3`: 0
- `4`: 1
- `5`: 2
- `6`: 3
- `7`: -0
- `54xy`: **set RS of operator.**
- `x` is the operator (1-4). a value of 0 means "all operators".
- `y` is the value.
- `55xy`: **set SSG-EG of operator.**
- `x` is the operator (1-4). a value of 0 means "all operators".
- `y` is the value (0-8).
- values between 0 and 7 set SSG-EG.
- value 8 disables it.
- `56xx`: **set DR of all operators.**
- `57xx`: **set DR of operator 1.**
- `58xx`: **set DR of operator 2.**
- `59xx`: **set DR of operator 3.**
- `5Axx`: **set DR of operator 4.**
- `5Bxx`: **set D2R/SR of all operators.**
- `5Cxx`: **set D2R/SR of operator 1.**
- `5Dxx`: **set D2R/SR of operator 2.**
- `5Exx`: **set D2R/SR of operator 3.**
- `5Fxx`: **set D2R/SR of operator 4.**
