The SID was the best of the early '80s home computer sound chips. 2-op FM doesn't cut the mustard. Tone generators are terrible. And many computers and consoles weren't even lucky enough to GET sound hardware and had to click a speaker.

that was a heavily cost reduced version. 4op or more with many more voices makes the sid sound like ass. sid was awesome for 1982 but even the creator of it himself said he didn't have enough time or silicon for more voices or other features. yamaha had infinite money and resources to sink into making high quality synth and dac ICs. anyway, fm synthesis is entirely different from the sid and isn't comparable.

you really can't help yourself by shilling your youtube channel everywhere. you barely understand how the sid works and you have no idea how fm synth works. awesome. i'm not giving you views, retard. get a fucking job.

4op is enough, sure.

I'm not him I have been programming the SID for over 20 years and also own several FM synths. I use the SidStation and Goattracker now too.

Mr. Dibbert is great though.

No. A child with a youtube induced hot take is not "us". And no one should ever let it be involved in any decision making other than which happy meal it gets.

6581 beats 8580 simply because it played digitized sound better, and the filters were much squelchier and stronger. I fell lucky with mine because the filter wasn't too muffled like some other poor souls got

Doesn’t make a difference, music is shitty western jank. Wasted in honky hands

desu that sounds very 2-op FM for SID

>>12877686
This. I've also never heard any IRL but watched the same youtube so it must be true.

yamaha opl2 blows it out of the water.

I have both in my C64U now, and I can say the 6581 has more soul. 8580 just sounds too clean.

>>12877954
Nah, 2-op is weak. 4-op is the minimum.

Wacky Wheels will always make me chuckle...
