sega genesis synth

would it be possible to turn a sega genesis into a
synthesizer? if not, does anyone know a good synth forum?

Not exactly what you want, but VOPM is a good
YM2612 VSTi. Or maybe it's 2151, but that's pretty much the
same.

There's also some tracker that let's you dump ROMs but I
can't remember the name and it's pretty limited at the
moment.

There's another tracker called TFM Music Maker that seems to
be better but I haven't used it much, DUNNO

I love the mega drive sound chip it is beautiful and great

The Genesis/Mega Drive sound chip is a Zylog Z-80 processor;
also the main processor of the Sega Master System (SG1000)
and also the sound processor in the NEO·GEO arcade/home
system as well.

The Z80 in the genesis controls the YM2612 and the SN76489
(master system sound chip). The distinctive FM sounds come
from the YM2612. I don't know why I know this.

so is there a good VST instrument that can emulate or
recreate the megadrive sound? i know its mostly fm synthesis
but i want something easier to get the grimey tinny guitar
like Fm synth than say fm7 or other ones.

on another note are there any chip-tune musicians mostly
focusing in on this style of video game music? it seems most
people do sid or nes based stuff, i dont hear very much
later generation videogame style songs.

I think yes. But you must know how to write program for
sega. And write it to memory chip. But it is only one
possibility I guess there is more posibilities, for example
to use particular instructions for audio system if there is
such possibilitie.
