The Yamaha YM2151, also known as OPM (FM Operator Type-M) is an eight-channel, four-operator sound chip developed by Yamaha. It was Yamaha's first single-chip FM synthesis implementation, being created originally for some of the Yamaha DX series of keyboards (DX21, DX27, and DX100 [1]). Yamaha also used it in some of their budget-priced ...
The OPL (FM Operator Type-L) series is a family of sound chips developed by Yamaha.It consists of low-cost sound chips providing FM synthesis for use in computing, music and video game applications.

The Yamaha YM2164, a.k.a. OPP (FM Operator Type P), is an FM synthesis sound chip developed by Yamaha, an enhanced version of their YM2151 (a.k.a. OPM). The OPP was used in various MIDI-based synthesizers by Yamaha - DX21, DX27, DX100, SFG-05, FB-01 (a standalone SFG-05) - plus several licensed products: the IBM Music Feature Card (which is effectively an FB-01 on an ISA card) and Korg's DS-8 ...
A PCI Yamaha XG sound card with a YMF724E-V chipset. Another Yamaha XG sound card with YMF724E-V chipset. The last model number for controller chips used on ISA bus cards is 719; chips used on PCI cards start at 720 and higher. Chips for PCI bus standalone adapters are marked YMF7x4, while on-board or embedded systems are marked YMF7x0.
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. [1]The YM2612 is a six-channel FM synthesizer used in several game and computer systems, most notably in Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis video game console [2] as well as Fujitsu's FM Towns computer series. [3]
It was the progenitor of Yamaha's OPN family of FM synthesis chips used in many video game and computer systems throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. It was used in a variety of NEC computers, along with various arcade game machines. The YM2203 has the following features: Three concurrent FM synthesis channels (voices) Four operators per channel
FM synthesis was the basis of some of the early generations of digital synthesizers, most notably those from Yamaha, as well as New England Digital Corporation under license from Yamaha. [5] Yamaha DX7 FM digital synthesizer (1983) Yamaha's DX7 synthesizer, released in 1983, was ubiquitous throughout the 1980s. Several other models by Yamaha ...
