Yamaha YM2612

The YM2612, a.k.a. OPN2, is a sound chip developed by Yamaha. It is a member of Yamaha's OPN family of FM synthesis chips, and is derived from the YM2203.

The YM2612 is a six-channel FM synthesizer. It was used in several game and computer systems, most notably in Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis video game console as well as Fujitsu's FM Towns computer series.

As with the YM3438, it was used by Sega in later models of the Mega Drive/Genesis (integrated into an ASIC) as well as in various arcade game systems, including the Mega-Play and Sega System 32.
