Chipsynth MD is a powerful four-operator FM synthesizer inspired by the iconic Mega Drive (Genesis) console, renowned for its bright, sparkling FM sound that defined many classic game soundtracks. This VST brings the essence of that era to modern music production, enabling composers to recreate the fast-paced, energetic sounds that continue to influence creative work today.
Designed with extensive access to all hardware components, chipsynth MD offers advanced control over every element, including even the most obscure features of the original sound chip. Its intelligent layering system allows users to transform any OPN2 patch into a complex 6-layered soundscape, delivering rich, immersive textures and dynamic sonic possibilities that push FM synthesis beyond traditional limits.
The VST includes a precise emulation of the OPN2 (YM2612) chip combined with a SN76489-compatible square wave core and a distinctive crunchy sample playback, all multiplied by six to achieve full polyphony. A built-in VGM file player lets users explore hundreds of vintage soundtracks as they were originally intended. Thanks to meticulous reverse engineering and rigorous testing, chipsynth MD achieves a level of authenticity and realism unmatched by other FM synths, all without relying on sampled audio.
