This reminds me of QuickTime’s MIDI synth. I wonder if it also used Roland’s sound set?


You can see that the channels are labeled YM2608, which is one of the many four-operator FM chips from Yamaha used in consoles and PCs (like the Genesis and AdLib).

Like the IBM-compatible PCs, the PC-98 series was available with various different sound options.


It's a programmable synthesizer. You can of course implement the MT-32 instrument line-up with it.
