About the Yamaha YM2164.
The Yamaha YM2164 (OPP) chip at the heart of the FM-01.
The YM2164, also known as OPP, is Yamaha's eight-voice, 4-operator FM sound generator. It was used in the Yamaha FB-01 and SFG-05 FM Sound Synthesizer Unit II, the IBM Music Feature Card, and the Korg DS-8 and 707 synthesizers.
The FM-01 uses an original YM2164 IC. Sound generation is performed by the Yamaha chip itself rather than by a software emulation or a general-purpose DSP or FPGA.
Small box. Plenty of sound.
