The heart of this card is the Yamaha YM-2164 sound chip, which can also be found in the Yamaha FB-01 MIDI Expander. Sound generation occurs through an FM synthesizer with multiple control parameters. There are also 240 preprogrammed sounds, including reproductions of traditional musical instruments.

The N64's design is built around a Mips R4300i and a single coprocessor called RCP (Reality CoProcessor). This RCP contains not only a "Blitter" that handles the actual drawing, but also a general purpose DSP called RSP (Reality Signal Processor). The RSP is actually very well suited to process both 3D geometry and audio data.
