*Built-in vibrato and AM oscillators
*Built-in 4 bit ADPCM speech analysis/synthesis circuits
*Built-in AD/DA converters
*Possibility of connecting External 256-kB memory (ROM or RAM)
*Built-in 8-bit input/output ports for keyboard scanning
*Two Built-in General Purpose timers
*TTL compatible input/output
*Si-gate CMOS LSI
*5V single power supply

oftware Support

Y-8950 is supported by almost all software which contains music composed in SoundTracker, Moonblaster, Oracle, Super Music Editor or Magic Music Module Combi, etc. All these editors support the ADPCM sample unit. Some support the keyboard.Other software which makes use of the ADPCM sampler. E.g. Trax Player by NOP (a program to play songs (samples) directly from disk, while loading).Actually, probably all Compile software, that supports FM-PAC also supports MSX Audio Software, which requires the 256 kB of sample RAM.
