Well there is always 8x2OP:

That could be useful to make string sections, choirs or anything else that relies on unison for its characteristics. Although I think just 3x 2op would be enough for chiptune purposes (and the same results have already been achieved at the expense of more channels).

well it is not a hardware feature but software so i am sure it is not exactly the same thing. sadtracker 2 has a wavetable too which works differently (and BETTER) than adtrack2 macro i think.... but it's good to learn to use these tables things because they help a lot with percussion and also to make other sounds!

If you look in the manual for the MBFM they call the Macros "wave table sequencing" which I assume it the same thing.

After finishing a track using a similar tracker (DefleMask) this all makes much more sense now. What a great Thursday afternoon.

If it's 6-op it's at most 4 operators with 1 carrier, then the remaining 2 as a simple modulator+carrier for an extra layer of sound. This seems to be the case with all the DX7 sounds I've browsed through.

6op it totally possible but I don't have a 6op synth, all mine are 4op, Something for the future....

Yeah man forget what I said, all I have is 4op too, so that should do it.
Thanks big_smile

- edit - Cascating operators confuse me, very very hard to predict. Also yamaha having arbitrary numbering policies for operators depending on the day of the week is confusing.

Can you cover that? With the more operators the better, as 4op is rather simple.
