If you enjoy the wacky sounds of FM synthesis, wave your hand high. If you create songs with FM synthesis, wave your OPL3 soundchips high. I welcome myself to chipmusic.com, my new home....   smile

Hi, Carl! I just want to say that whenever I see the letters "OPL" together, I think that someone ought to cover Madonna's "Open Your Heart" and name it "OPL Your Heart".

Useful hint for anyone looking for an opl3 lappy. Go to the toshiba site

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais … p/home.jsp

Choose Laptops > Family > Model

In this case, Portage > 3010CT

Click go > Detailed specs > open the PDF file

Scroll down to Soundsystem and you can see the chipset.

I think this is rather useful as there seem to be a fair number of toshibas with opl3s about and their documentation of fairly clear about the chipset.

Surprise Adlib Tracker 2 is my favourite, simple layout, and not completely blue with weird scrolling interface.

FM is still not as popular as people here always seem to make it! It's nice because I can make it my own style without seeming to be jumping in a big trend. I want to use for an artist or album name "OPN2furry."

Love the FM sounds, I got hooked on FM from listening to Tangerine Dream and OxygenStar's Sassy Wisdom. Don't got an OPL3, don't plan on every writing music for one, but I'll sure listen to it!

I've really been wanting to work with Adlib Tracker II and lovely OPL3 goodness, but never can find a laptop (yes laptop, no desktop) that is "AT2-Ready," is there a list anywhere of laptops that are?  I've done some searching and have only found small lists of maybe 5 that are.  It's a tough search.
