Inphonik RYM2612 Iconic FM Synthesizer v1.0.5

FULL INFO BELOW:

RYM2612 is a software FM synthesizer in VST, Audio Unit, AAX and Rack Extension formats. Its an emulation of the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip, best known for being the vibrant voice of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive videogame console. More than a simple sound-alike, the emulation is cycle-accurate to the original chip, that allows reproducing every unique possibility of the synth. On top of this, the amp circuitry of the console has been reproduced too, in order to obtain the same grain youd get if you plugged the real hardware into your DAW.
