YM2413 DIY SYNTH DEMO: ROM INSTRUMENTS AND DRUMS

Описание: My DIY YM2413 Synth Module project already assembled in definitive PCB.

This sound you are listening really comes from the YM2413, with just a small room reverb added.
In this vídeo first I played the a custom instrument then 16 internal ROM instruments + the percussion (Drums) sounds. The synth responds to velocity of playing in the keys (sensitive).

All sounds are generated using frequency modulation (FM) synthesis, no samples are used.

The module is played via MIDI (UART, 5 pin DIN), so I used a controller keyboard here.

The YM2413 chip (known as OPLL), which is 2 operator FM musical synthesizer that uses FM synthesis (frequency modulation) to generate timbres. I'm developing a YM2413 based musical instrument, using the Arduino Nano to control the YM's internal registers.

The YM2413 was used in:
-Yamaha PSS-170 and PSS-270 keyboards in 1986;
-Yamaha SHS-10 shoulder keyboard in 1987, and the Yamaha PSS-140 and Yamaha SHS-200 in 1988;
-Yamaha PSR-6 keyboard in 1988;
-Sega Master System, Atari Games Rampart arcade game;

I purchased the YM2413 chip on Aliexpress. Application Manual: https://www.smspower.org/maxim/Docume...
