Description
S98Player plays the FM synth music of the PC-9801 and X68000
on your iPhone and iPad.
Alongside sound logs (S98), the PMD, FMP and MDX drivers are built into the app,
so you can drop the original song files straight in and play them.
Formats
- S98 (Version 1 / 3) — .s98
- PMD — .m / .m2 / .mz / .mp / .ms / .pmd
- FMP — .opi / .ovi / .ozi / .mfm / .mf2 / .m86 / .m26
- MDX — .mdx (put .pdx in the same folder for songs that use ADPCM)
Voiced for the machine
The same FM chip sounded different on each computer: the external DAC and the
analogue stage after it were not the same. PC-98, PC-88, X68000 and X1turboZ each
have their own DAC, output stage, cutoff and per-chip mix. The machine is chosen
from the S98 system tag, and can also be set in Settings.plist.
Channel monitor
Watch every channel on a piano-style keyboard while the music plays, with level
meters, stereo panning, rhythm pads and a spectrum analyser. Tap a row to mute it,
long-press to solo, and study each part on its own.
Waveform seek bar
The seek bar is a waveform. It draws the intro and one turn of the loop, and shows
which time around you are on by how dark it is. Drag it to jump anywhere.

Rhythm samples
To hear the OPNA rhythm section you need ym2608_adpcm_rom.bin, or the rhythm
files (2608_BD.WAV / 2608_HH.WAV / 2608_RIM.WAV / 2608_SD.WAV / 2608_TOM.WAV /
2608_TOP.WAV). Put them in the S98Player folder under "On My iPhone" in the Files
app. Song files go there too, in a folder per album.
