Hi,
I'm back at building synthesizers again. This one is based around the Yamaha YM2151 FM synth I pulled from a dead arcade board.
Some demos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itcHj46oaK4 <-- I'm particularly pleased with this one
There's no video in these, just a picture of the YM2151 IC from Wikipedia. The last time I tried making FM synth with this chip was in my 8080 computer and I had no idea how to do it properly, so it sounded awful. I found this website (Japanese) which has a mountain of patches for these synths.

Which make it sound a lot better
Also the thing has died on me again... Back to beeping out bad connections. Here's a pic of it too.
