Hi everyone.
I see there's recently been an excellent YM2413 VST released, and I've knocked together a YM3812 VST recently. It uses the emulation code from DOSBox. The code is hackish, and the UI is coder-ish, but it works 
You can download it here:

+1 for Renoise demo. Can't wait to try this out.
This is really cool! Is there any way to get velocity linked to note volume? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it'd be great if that was in there.
Good job on this though! I love lo-fi FM sounds.
Thanks people
fluidvolt: Actually you're right, velocity isn't linked to note volume at the moment. I had it set up that way initially, but I found it was a bit too sensitive. I should probably add it back in with a couple of sensitivity settings like high, low, and off.
In the mean time, if you can program your VST host to link velocity to the Oscillator 2 attenuation parameter, that should do it too.
sounds great... is it only source while in development or you planning to have windows/osx/whatever builds?
I'll be doing Windows builds. Unfortunately I can't do OSX as I don't have a Mac, but according to the Juce documentation, it should be possible to build for OSX if somebody has one with XCode installed:
Thank you bsa it seem to be exactly what I was seeking !!!
An OPL source code which works and sound great.
Thank you
No worries. I should make it clear that I didn't write the emulation, it's from DOSBox. I just cut it off at the knees and wrapped it in the VST
O NOES POSTED IN THE WRONG THREAD!!!

can you make it stereo? atm im only getting sound in one ear
also can you make it turn all notes off when i press "stop" in the daw because im getting a lot of stuck notes & the only way to stop them is to delete the vst and add it again
apart from that its cool though
I have a copy of xcode on my machine for work but no working knowledge how to do it myself. If someone wants to send me a recipe list, ill give it a go.
sandnell: Sorry to hear you're only getting sound on one channel. What DAW are you using? I've only tested it in one VST host (Renoise), and it puts sound (the same sound) on both channels. The VST itself only has a single output channel though.. I guess it's up to your DAW to decide what to do with that one channel. As for the stuck notes, I don't seem to get that in Renoise. Do you get it with any settings, or only with certain envelope settings?
herr_prof: Thanks for the offer. If you're still interested, could you please try these steps? I'm afraid the instructions aren't very detailed because I can't step through it myself, but this is a high level overview. Let me know if I can help with anything.
1) Download Juce (http://www.juce.com/downloads)
2) Build the IntroJucer in XCode (http://www.juce.com/documentation/getting-started)
3) Download the VST source from GitHub (https://github.com/bsutherland/JuceOPLVSTi/tree/master)
4) Open the .jucer file in the IntroJucer
5) Use the IntroJucer to generate an XCode project
6) Open the generated XCode project
7) Build the project in XCode
BSA can you make standalone tracker for WIN,MAX and LINUX?
There is unfinished port of OPL3 Adlibtracker2 to WIN32. But OPL2 will
be very interesting too.
