1/2 @Judeau @stefanjl Because it is quite fresh. Well, adoption is quite poor to be honest in comparison to let's say c64 or Atari 8-bit (I don't have any influence on people), but I've open sourced library (C99, https://framagit.org/nokturnal/nfm), I've made docs about usage, which eases adding opl support along with player (it needs some more work as always). #atarist #opl3 #opl2

@shieladixon @edbrindley Oh, wow. That's not bad for a "firsty".

And here we have yet another sound card which could be made to work with your #midi interface ... imagine how cool it must be to have the SID, AY and OPL3 perform together ...

Also, it's so cool to see #rc2014 and the #opl3 work together so well. #Z80 and #CPM80 ... made to last ...

Here's a little something for this #DOSember #MIDIMonday: the mellow, downtempo #OPL3 mix of the level 18 music from #Descent! Recorded over an analog line from my early-model Sound Blaster 16.

:atari: Last week I've finished batch of NokturnFM2 and NokturnFM3 sound cartridges. Will start to pack them next week and move on to handle international preorders. After sending parcels I will be able to focus more on software side. I've donated four of them to next week's SV2025 WE Atari demo party (https://sillyventure.eu) in Gdansk,Poland, so anyone participating in Atari 16/32 bit competitions will have a chance to win one. #atarist #atarifalcon030 #opl2 #opl3 #ymf262 #YM3812

NokturnFM cartridges (sound expansion) preorders end in a week (10.10.2025).. #atarist #YM3812 #YM262-M #opl2 #opl3 If you want to get one, it's time! https://nokturnal.pl/posts/nokturnfm_preorders_one_week_left. Unfortunately due to US tarrifs by mr. Orange sending anything to US and Canada is not possible (still you can register interest, but sending parcel will be suspended until situation clears out)...

I would like to inform that I've started collecting preorders for NokturnFM2 / NokturnFM3 cartridges. NokturnFM2 and NokturnFM3 are Atari ST (and compatible) sound cartridges equipped with OPL2 (YM3812) and OPL3 (YMF262-M) soundchips enabling FM sound synthesis capabilities with minimal cpu overhead. More details can be found find in official announcement (https://nokturnal.pl/posts/nokturnfm_preorders). #atarist #opl2 #opl3 #NokturnFM #YM3812 #YMF262-M

It’s back to familiar territory with my latest track which can be described as "shmup #chiptune"

I mixed in some distorted guitars for some extra crunch, which makes it more catchy!

This time I decided to take it easy and make a simple tune that's been floating around in my head for years and see how it turns out. It was a nice fun break for a change!

Me testing OPL-like sounds with FM8

#renoise #music #audio #electronic #fm8 #opl #opl3 #fm_synthesis

#nokturnfm2 #nokturnfm3 #opl2 #opl3 #atarist i've assembled new pcbs and put them into shells for a first time. I've misplaced reset button hole in opl3 version of course, will fix it in next iteration. Several screws are too long in fm3 version, need to trim them down few millimeters, but it's not visible..

#nokturnfm2 #nokturnfm3 #opl2 #opl3 #atarist i've finished cartridge shells. And i've made some tests with pcbs and screws to see if everything fits. I will probably add either label and/or bezel cart name on top, maybe some minor tweaks will be needed. So, now i need to solder new pcb versions and assemble the whole thing.. 😛

#atarist #nokturnfm3 #opl3 #ym262-m So yeah, i call it first draft of a shell for my opl3 fm cartridge. Dimensions are right, hole placement ok, filament poles weren't good enough and broke really quickly, so i will need to use proper screws instead. Still #nokturnfm2 version to finish.. Made in #freecad on which i don't have full control yet ;)...

Made an upbeat funky track with #radtracker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoNxMINgSqw

I didn't have a clear idea at the start so it was a challenge getting this to come together; it was good practice.

#music #tracker #opl3 #adlib

Treated myself to the Yamaha YMF724E-V sound card for my Windows 98 PC and will see if this plays nice with two soundcards.

For a PCI sound card, it has good DOS compatibility, with an actual OPL3 FM and XG MIDI Level 1 compatibility as a fantastic bonus. I have moved the Yamaha SW1000XG to my Windows XP PC as I was getting annoying interference on the Win98 rig. Maybe driver oddness.

Looking forward to experimenting...

New #chiptune track just dropped

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOeOv9li01A

Once again made with #RADTracker. #OPL3 sounds great; although personally I prefer OPNA's flexibility, OPL3 has this quirk where parts of an instrument can have different panning, which gives it a richer sound out of the box. Pretty cool!
