Yamaha YM2414

The YM2414, a.k.a. OPZ, is an eight-channel sound chip developed by Yamaha. It was used in many mid-market phase/frequency modulation-based synthesizers, including Yamaha's TX81Z (the first product to feature it, and was named after), DX11, YS200 family, the Korg Z3 guitar synthesizer, and many other devices. A successor was released as the upgraded OPZII/YM2424, used only in the Yamaha V50.

Yamaha YM2414

The OPZ has the following features:

  • Eight concurrent FM channels
  • Four operators per channel
  • Eight selectable waveforms
  • Fixed-frequency mode, which can go much lower in the OPZII, enabling 0 Hz carriers or low rates for native chorusing
  • Dual low frequency oscillators

Products

The chip was used in the PortaTone PSR-80 and PSR-6300[1], the Yamaha TX81Z rack-mounted FM synthesizer, the Yamaha DX11, YS100, YS200 and DS55 synthesizers, the TQ5 Tone Generator and the Yamaha EMT-1 half-rack FM Sound Expander module.

gollark: Plausibly. You're not legally fine but they probably won't check all possible transforms.
gollark: But it isn't as if no number can be.
gollark: These are small enough numbers that they probably shouldn't be copyrightable.
gollark: Every file is just a very large number expressed in base 256.
gollark: What? They obviously can.
