Why does OPL3 need an ADC?

MIDIbox FM

Hi:

OPL3 generates digital signals from scratch. So why does it need an ADC?

I can understand it needs a DAC to convert the digital FM audio to analog so we can hear the music. But why an ADC?

Thanks,

Which ADC are you referring to?  The YMF262 is pure digital, the YAC512 is a DAC and the MIDIboxFM application doesn’t support an AIN board.
