Yamaha MU2000. The Yamaha MU-series is a line of sound modules built by Yamaha. All sound modules except MU5 support Yamaha XG. The sound modules were commonly used when computers had slower processors. The computer could send MIDI commands to the sound module, acting as an external sound generation device. Later MU sound modules feature A/D ...

Sound modules that do not fit into other categories. CBX-T3 — General MIDI and other modes supported (same as TG100, but with LEDs instead of LCD) FB-01 — (1986) 4op FM/8 multi-timbral sound module, suitable for CX5M system. a forerunner of TG & MU series; FS1R (1998) — FM/Formant synthesis; TG100 (1991) — General MIDI sound module [38]
A programmable sound generator (PSG) is a sound chip that generates (or synthesizes) audio wave signals built from one or more basic waveforms, and often some kind of noise. PSGs use a relatively simple method of creating sound compared to other methods such as frequency modulation synthesis or pulse-code modulation .
Yamaha TG77 in the rack case (middle). Yamaha TG77 is the rack-mounted equivalent of Yamaha Corporation's SY77 synthesizer workstation. It, too, is a 16-voice multitimbral music (synthesizer) utilizing Yamaha's Advanced Frequency Modulation; Advanced Wave Memory; and the combination of these two systems, either by layering together or by modulating an AFM voice by an AWM wave, a synergy termed ...

A comparison of the outputs of Yamaha's YMF262 and YMF289 FM sound chips. 0:00 is YMF262, and 0:31 onward is YMF289. In 1995, Yamaha produced a fully compatible, low-power variant of the YMF262 called the YMF289 (OPL3-L), targeting PCMCIA sound cards and laptop computers. [ 12 ]
Programmable sound generators were the first specialized audio circuits in computers included simple analog oscillators that could be set to desired frequencies, generally approximating tones along the musical scale. An example of this is the 1978 POKEY custom ASIC used in the Atari 8-bit computers.
