The Master System was a video game console produced by Sega beginning in 1985. For audio, the SMS used a clone of the Texas Instruments SN76489 chip. These clones were also present in the Sega Genesis and Game Gear systems, the latter adding stereo functionality.

The SN76489 chip has 1 white noise and 3 square wave tone generators. Each channel has 16 levels of volume. The third square wave channel can also be used to control periodic noise in the white noise channel.

Tools



Main tools:
- SnevenTracker - Fork of FamiTracker made by HertzDevil. Can export .VGM and .WAV.
- DefleMask Tracker - Multi-chip tracker supporting the SN76489, alongside its bigger brothers. Can export .VGM.
