You know what? I really like the YM2413! This seemingly limited chip has truly grown on me over these last few years. You’d think that only having 15 preset sounds that everything coming out of it would sound the same, but in this you’d be wrong! The tracks I’ll be sharing will show the amazing range it is capable of and will have you saying “WOW! That’s what I call YM2413!”
