Tropical House sounds to me as FM music or SEGA music. So lets make some/post/remix Tropitunes here too...

For example:

Clean Bandit - Rather Be ft. Jess Glynne
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-M1AtrxztU

Song can have structure of FM / PSG + acoustic (guitar, violin or piano) sounds and house drums and 80s/90s basslines.

XEL will be masterpiece based upon original ATARI board design.

Another beautiful amazing miniITX board is bassed on FPGA miniITX EclairéXL. It is not using original chips on other hand
you will have ultra fast 28MHz 6502 turbo mode faster than AMIGA!!! Ideal for watching 3D demos or playing unplayable
vector or 3D games... Dual pokey... Or using 28MHz for unknown pokey effects!!! Everything is HW emulated. But
Extremely compatible with existing software...

So I hope you will buy/build new boards. And use them together with SIDs, GAMEBOYS,NESes as POKEY sounds supercute too!
Price of boards will be almost same as price of old Atari 130XE from 1985 or 2x NESes on ebay. So 200-300USD. But everything will be brand new. Manufactured in small series (so why price is little bit higher). Anyways in price of 4x Nike sneakers or price of snowboard
you will gets highest Atari 8bit HW specs. Atari 130XE got 128KB of ram and 1x POKEY. With new boards you will get 1024KB of ram and 2x pokey. SDcard...
Plus you will be unicorn on chipmusic scene. As there are very few Pokey musicians out there. It means original sound!

Its not like new smell. Its like horrible smell. Like chemicals on keyboard. Madio Oxygen was smelling even worse. I felled like I am going to poke. I sold it on web auction only for this reason. Probably this AKAI will goes too... Its little bit sad that one must make blacklist of cheap plastic manufacturers. Also I live in EU and their health regulations on products should be high. Or I should buy in musical store and smell everything before buy? This is nonsense...

I have buyed AKAI mpk 2 mini limited edition with black keys. Looks so nice!
Looks amazing. Lot of good settings in driver and extra software as bonus.
But my problem is that it smells horrible. Like toxic plastic. Stinks so bad!
I wrote to eshop where I have buyed it. They made jokes of me... They will not
exchange it. So I am so F&$*g sad. It was my gift for Xmas...
I also own Arturia key made in France and it doesnt smell at all.
I have some breathing problems and I dont want use it...
I wrote to AKAIPRO but still waits for their reply. It was not cheap
like 100Euro.

Do you also experience similar problems of toxic smell of MIDI keys/controllers???
This keyboard was made in Asia...
I had Maudio Oxygen in past and same problem... Plus my stomach hurt.

VGM Music Maker is for Megadrive. And yes there is PCM sample channel + FM channels + PSG channels. So it is robust music chip YM2612.
Yamaha OPL3 was pretty advanced - YMF262...

So I am pretty sure that SEGA SATURN can sound like todays FM VSTis.
Or oldschool synths...
