Easy FM with ISA Soundblaster, which one has got the OPL 3?

MIDIbox FM

Hi,

before I want to build a Midibox FM I want to use the easy way to get FM with an old PC with ISA Slot. So I´m watching out for a Soundblaster which have the Chip onboard, but I don´t find an Overview which Model has got the OPL 2 or 3.

Is every Soundblaster 16 ok? There are a lot of different types and I´m not sure which one I should buy.

Also does anybody know what is the best way to intergate it in my Cubase Setup? Think I use the JXSynth Lib and MidiOX but thats a little bit uncomfortable. Best Way would be to use a VST Plugin with an Editor Surface but I think theres none.

Thank you

there’s a long list of soundcards which contain OPL3 on www.ucapps.de in the FM section.

but here’s also the link to Wilba’s new bulk order thread, OPL3 complete chipsets NOS:

Wilba’ is the best source around ATM, but… use the search on the wiki. You’d have found wilba’s page, and this one: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=soundcards_with_ymf262_and_or_yac512_chips
