That clarifies it for me a lot, thank you.

(soundblasters had OPL3 on them, so were adlib compatible)

zoner (17:58:01)
OPL3 is fully compatible with OPL2 but is considerably more capable

(Yamaha's OPL2 chip)

adlib was a company that made a card that had the YM3812

Oldchap (17:57:03)
Ok

zoner (17:56:47)
adlib is just another way of saying OPL2

Oldchap (17:54:57)
So Adlib was a subset of OPL?

zoner (17:50:05)
Siren (Alexander Brandon) made the music for Tyrian, so naturally it's elite

zoner (17:47:32)
In a lot of cases, games, etc, shoehorned their "general MIDI" musics out of adlib with uninspired instruments, etc. Very few things really took care of squeezing the most out of it
