Overview

Name \| Version:	OPLoid FM-Synthesizer 1.0.0
Author:	leiseimkran
Device Type:	Instrument
Description:	The OPLoid adopts the synthesis principles of the Yamaha YM3812 (OPL2) and YMF262 (OPL3) FM chips. These chips were widely used on IBM PC-based sound cards in the late 20th century (e.g., AdLib and Soundblaster) and defined the sound of the "MS-DOS era". The OPLoid is not an accurate emulation of the OPL 2 or 3, but rather a synthesizer on its own. It closely mimics the OPL 2 and 3 in their principles of operation to stay true to the original chips' characteristic sound and to make it accessible in a modern music production environment. Nevertheless, some parameters have been slightly modified to allow for more flexibility in sound design. Features: - close imitation of the 2-operator FM algorithm from the Yamaha OPL2 and OPL3 sound chips - 8 waveforms - monophonic and polyphonic mode - up to 64 voices of polyphony (depending on CPU power) - 4 LFOs (vibrato, tremolo, FM depth, panorama) - pitchbend and modwheel support (up to 6 parameters independently mappable to modwheel) - Scala (.scl) tuning support - 195 factory presets New features of version 1.0.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yVxp2dvIEA Demo track (old version - 0.2.6): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5igFQ-Xr-s0 Preset patches showcase (old version - 0.2.6): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpm1TKPbMKo
