Скачать или смотреть OPL3 vs General MIDI — All 128 Instruments + Drums (Part 2/4)

The Yamaha YMF262 (OPL3) was never originally meant to play General MIDI… but I made it try anyway.

This is Part 2 of a 4‑part series showcasing how different sound chips handle the full GM instrument map — all 128 melodic patches plus drums.

In this video, you’ll hear every sound the OPL3 can produce, sequenced cleanly and edited with a micro‑joke for the gigs.

If you’re into FM synthesis, retro sound cards, or just want to hear a chip struggle with a modern standard, this one’s for you.

🎹 Part 3 and 4 will dive into the MT‑32 (unpatched and patched).

Subscribe if you want to hear the full comparison — and maybe see a chip stare down a MIDI logo.
