Decades ago, most sound cards came equipped with FM-chips like the YMF262 (AKA the OPL3). Now, Twisted Electrons have built a fat and juicy synthesizer/groovebox around that very chip. Meat the BlastBeats.
The Twisted Electrons Deton8 is a slim desktop box that's home to a drum machine and a satisfyingly retro, 8-bit sample player that delivers delicious, crunching, lo-fi sound.
