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.

For 0.6pre1, Furnace can now support advanced YM2612 features that Fractal sound driver adds: two software-mixed PCM channels (variable pitch, sample offsets, max 13.7 khz rate) and CSM - ch3 special mode feature that can be abused to produce rudimentary speech synthesis.

effects

  • 10xy: set LFO parameters.
    • 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.
    • x is the operator (1-4).
    • y is the mutliplier.
  • 17xx: enable PCM channel.
    • this only works on channel 6.
  • 18xx: toggle extended channel 3 mode.
