The Gold card used a later generation Yamaha YMF262 ( OPL3 ) and 12-bit digital PCM capability while retaining backward compatibility with the original AdLib.

The AdLib card was usurped in 1989 by Creative's Sound Blaster, which used the same Yamaha FM chip in the AdLib, for compatibility, but also added 8-bit 22. 05 kHz ( later 44. 1 kHz ) digital audio recording and playback of a single stereo channel.

** PLG-100VL, PLG-150VL ( 1999 ) — plug-in cards for various Yamaha keyboards, tone modules, and the SWG-1000 high-end PC sound card.

The Yamaha OPL2 chip set ( YM3812 and external digital-to-analog converter ) was included on the AdLib sound card ( 1987 ), on the Creative Technology Sound Blaster ( 1989 ) and ( in pairs, to create stereo sound ) on the Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum ( 1991 ); these were replaced by the next generation Yamaha OPL3 chip set on the Pro AudioSpectrum 16 and Sound Blaster 16.

In 1989, the Creative Technology Sound Blaster featured a processor and digital-to-analog converter, and incorporated the Yamaha OPL2 chip set FM synthesis devices for compatibility with the AdLib sound card.

Yamaha continued producing two-stroke engines until it launched the XS-1 in 1969, with a 650 cc two-cylinder four-stroke engine, using expertise that it gained doing engine development work for Toyota.

Most snowmobiles are still powered by two-stroke engines, although Alpina Snowmobiles and Yamaha have been using four-strokes respectively since 2002 and 2003.

In 1988 the Sega Mega Drive ( Sega Genesis in the US ) offered advanced graphics over the NES and improved sound synthesis features ( also using a Yamaha chip, the YM2612 ), but largely held the same approach to sound design.

The AdLib used a low-cost FM synthesis chip from Yamaha, and many boards could operate compatibly using the MIDI standard.

To thicken the sound, he plays through a Yamaha SPX 90 using a reverse reverb effect that inverts the normal reverb envelope without making the notes backward.
