How is this chip compatible with the DX synthesizers? The most of the DX line had 6 ops, this chip only has 4 ops. I'm dubious of that statement 50.0.18.170 ( talk) 18:27, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
I also sincerely doubted that, so I removed it. I later found the Japanese YM3438 application manual which leads me to believe it's more based on the YM2203C, not the YM2608, which makes more sense. 108.73.143.1 ( talk) 11:32, 15 February 2018 (PST)
The sample audio for the YM2612 (second example) was taken from the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro playing on a Sega Megadrive/Genesis. Although the Genesis has a YM2612, it also has a 4 channel PSG for compatibility with the Sega Master System. Composers are allowed to use the PSG if they like when making music for Genesis titles, and that sample clearly includes sound from the PSG. That may confuse people because they may think the sound quirk referenced in the article is coming from the 2612 when it's not. Another sound sample should be used, or the same track should be recorded from an emulator with the PSG channels muted.
YM2612's wiki page says : "The YM2612's FM synthesis block is an extended version of the FM block featured in the YM2203, adding two channels"
But the YM2203 has 3 FM channels and the YM2612 has 6 FM channel. If you make the maths, if you add 2 channels to 3 channels you got 5 channels not 6. However YM2612 has 6 FM channels and YM2203 has 3 FM channel.
It's a mistake or I missed something ?
"A VST, AU and AAX and Reason Studios Rack Extension plugin called YM2612 was made by Inphonik." It's called RYM2612 and not YM2612. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB14:19F:F400:BC57:DCE3:D754:DF1E ( talk) 09:06, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
