OPL2 / OPL3 generally uses Yamaha's YM3812 / YMF262M chipset.

However, because there are many sound chipsets that do not have the Yamaha license of an FM synthesizer built in,

I was curious about the sound of such compatible FM synthesizers.

This Core i3 computer was used to record.

Input Sound Card : ASUS Xonar DSX PCI-E
Capture board : Avermedia Game Broadcaster HD

I think this will allow you to see the difference between FM synthesizers in different sound chipsets.
