Sorry, does nothing to change my OPL hate. :)
You don't understand why the OPL-3 is better from a musician's standpoint.
It's fully customizable. try that with source samples. It's not about how OPL-3 sounds in doom (even though it wasn't opl3, it was opl2 with only four waveforms)
To diss OPL is to diss synths in general, especially the legendary DX series of synths, and as a musician, I really won't stand for it. ;)
So people here talking about how opl3 sounded bad, yes, it did, with midi music and awful patches, and most still playing in opl2 mode for the sake of compatibility.
For the record, the OPL-3s suck by themselves. With a ladder filter (easy to make if you know what you're doing), and some knowhow, you can have a very cheap synth for scrap.
And to address OP, to say the VRC7 sounds better, really shows the ignorance of what the OPL3 can do , which is pretty much every sound the NES chips, including the memory mapped ones, could crap out.
