Beethoven and more on a SID Chip

I can’t get enough of the YM2151 chip (from a Commodore 64) music. This is a pretty good example of the YM2151 power to create great sounds. Here’s a bit of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony on a YM2151 chip.

From the YouTube page:
A Yamaha YM2151 FM Synthesiser IC playing the Second Movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. The CPU of the synth is a MOS 6510 CPU from a Commodore 64. The music was played over a MIDI interface. If you notice any synchronization glitches with the different instruments it’s because they weren’t recorded at the same time, but separately and mixed later.

Here’s some more SID music (and sound effects) for you:
