(soundblasters had OPL3 on them, so were adlib compatible)

zoner (17:58:01)
OPL3 is fully compatible with OPL2 but is considerably more capable

(Yamaha's OPL2 chip)

zoner (17:57:27)
adlib was a company that made a card that had the YM3812

Oldchap (17:57:03)
Ok

zoner (17:56:47)
adlib is just another way of saying OPL2

Oldchap (17:54:57)
So Adlib was a subset of OPL?

zoner (17:50:05)
Siren (Alexander Brandon) made the music for Tyrian, so naturally it's elite

zoner (17:47:32)
In a lot of cases, games, etc, shoehorned their "general MIDI" musics out of adlib with uninspired instruments, etc. Very few things really took care of squeezing the most out of it

zoner (17:45:08)
OPL has multiple variants (OPL2, OPL3, etc), and within them there is variance depending on whether you're using the original Yamaha chip or some emulation thereof
