Programmable Sound Generators ("PSGs") are often known for their simplistic wave forms:
* The [[NES]], [[Turbo Grafx 16]] and [[Game Boy]], where sound generation is built into each system's custom CPU. The Famicom Disk System was also capable of primitive FM synthesis.
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Instrument_AY:General Instrument AY-3-8910 |General Instrument AY-3-8910]]: [[Atari ST]], [[Intellivision]], [[MSX]], [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Amstrad CPC]]
* [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN76489 |Texas Instruments SN76489]]: [[Colecovision]], [[BBC Micro]], [[Sega Master System]], [[Game Gear]] (with added stereo support), IBM PCjr and many PC clones (e.g. Tandy 1000) claiming "3 voice" sound. Called TMS9919 when Texas Instruments first used it in the [[TI 99|TI-99/4]].
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_SID:MOS Technology SID|MOS Technology SID]]: [[Commodore 64]] in two variants, the 6581 and 8580.
* MOS Technology 8364 "Paula": [[Amiga]]
 
Many Yamaha FM synthesis chips are known for a warmer and/or fuller sound. Tend to be less popular then PSG because of complexity:
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2413:Yamaha YM2413|OPLL]]: Japanese [[Sega Master System]], "MSX-Music" on later [[MSX]] machines
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM3812:Yamaha YM3812|OPL2]]: Mainly Adlib and early Sound Blasters
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YMF262:Yamaha YMF262|OPL3]]: Later Sound Blaster cards
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2151:Yamaha YM2151|OPM]]: [[Sharp X 68000]], numerous [[Arcade Game|Arcade Games]] by [[Atari]], [[Capcom]], [[Irem]], [[Midway Games]], [[Namco]], [[Sega]], etc.
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2203:Yamaha YM2203|OPN]]: [[PC 88|PC-8801mkIISR]], numerous [[Arcade Game|Arcade Games]]
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2608:Yamaha YM2608|OPNA]]: Later [[PC 88|PC-88]] and [[PC 98|PC-98]] models
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2610:Yamaha YM2610|OPNB]]: [[Neo Geo]]
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2612:Yamaha YM2612|OPN2]]: The [[Sega Genesis]]/MegaDrive and FM Towns; patch-compatible with the famous Yamaha DX-7
