PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16
a console from NEC that, depending on a region:
- attempted to enter the fierce battle between Nintendo and Sega, but because its capabilities are a mix of third and fourth generation, it failed to last long (US and Europe), or
- was Nintendo's most fearsome rival, completely defeating Sega Mega Drive and defending itself against Super Famicom (Japan).
it has 6 wavetable channels and the last two ones also double as noise channels.
furthermore, it has some PCM and LFO!
