4-operator & 8-algorithm FM sound module, PSG (Programmable Sound Generator) sound module, and the 8-bit PCM sound part of YM2612

The MEGA SYNTHESIS has resurrected the sound engine of the iconic YM2612 sound chip. Weve faithfully recreated the 4-operator FM sound module, the 8-bit PCM sound module, and the SN76489 PSG (Programmable Sound Generator) sound module used by the original console.

  • Legacy Mode to faithfully replicate the sound of the era. This feature simulates the characteristically grungy sounding quirks of the YM2612 sound and can be turned on/off for each track.

Creating game music is a breeze with our intuitive sequencer

Straightforward 6-track layout comprising 3 FM synthesis tracks, 2 PSG synthesis tracks, and 1 PCM sample track.

  • Simple one-knob-one-operation design
  • Create patterns of up to 8 bars with 1 step equaling a 16th note
  • 27 keys with ±3 octaves switching for easy melody input

10 types of effects can be applied

Furthermore, you can apply an effect selected from 10 types, such as adding reverberation, repeating phrases, and more. The amount of effect can be adjusted for each track.

  • Send Delay, Insert Delay, Reverb, Crusher, Distortion, Compressor, Low pass filter, High pass filter, Isolator, Remix Performance effect (Effect send amount can be set independently for each track)
