@MysticArksRevenge Most synthesizers call instrument sounds "programs". Programing a synth means creating a new sound on it, it's interchangeable with "editing". It doesn't mean programming in the same sense aswriting a computer program.
@MysticArksRevenge Well, last and first by our usual ordering. It's the same for Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese; it's the reason why I no longer use "first name" and "last name", but instead "given name" and "family name".
@MysticArksRevenge ...That was just using Japanese syntax, considering the names themselves are Japanese (the Japanese syntax places the family name, THEN the given name).
@Atomicskull I know. I just wanted to know if you knew if it was a Yamaha YM-3812 chip. OPM and OPL? What does that mean? All I know is that the YM-3812 is an FM sound chip.
I guess the reason WHY the music for PC games that used the YM-3812 is terrible is because most of the Non-Japanese software companies made games for the PCs and they did not know how to work or use the chip properly like what SNK did. If only I knew how make music on that chip using SNK's programmed instruments.
@Atomicskull I see.

@SkyknightMu I see. Seems kinda confusing, but I have no problem with it.

@Atomicskull I see. So you have to have good programming as well as music skills if you want to make your own music onto one of those chips.

@SkyknightMu So to them it is last name, then the first name?

@Atomicskull Oh, OK. I didn't know there were different variations of FM chips.

@MysticArksRevenge
OPL = FM Operator Type L (the 3526 and it's decedents such as the 3812)
OPM= FM Operator Type M (the ym2151 and it's descendants) They are just three letter labels for Yamaha's different families of FM sound chips.
