GENNY emulates the Sega Genesis'/Megadrive's YM2612 and SN76489 chips.
It allows you to create Sega Genesis style FM music in your favorite DAW, and it will allow you to use almost the full capabilities of the two chips.
It's designed to essentially function as it's own music production DAW tailored to making music for Genesis hardware.
You can add up to 16 different instruments within one instance of the plugin, each assigned to it's own MIDI channel and FM/Square channels on the chips. This way, you can create songs that stay within the original platform's limitations and that would actually play on the real hardware.
In fact, you can even export VGM files for playing on actual hardware (Though they're a bit bulky right now)!

It supports importing various YM2612 instrument formats, and exports it's own special format that supports including drum samples. You can import micro tuning files too!

Dunno wtf yall talking about. I run plenty of instances of this on reaper just fine so far. In fact, I run like 10 instances of this at 50% cpu on a crappy laptop that usually goes 100% from 3 of your usual hight quality synth patches with no effects (in practice handles well beyond just fine, but still goes 100% at this point). So don't be shy to layer these quality presets like crazy.

Full of bugs, and developer deletes bug reports/suggestions from forum without notice. OPNplug is better.

It works sometimes in REAPER on Windows 10 x64. Sometimes. Changing some settings makes DAW to crash. Not many plugins can crash the whole REAPER, I must say.

I'm slowly getting the hang of using 4 operators and the FL version of Genny, and I really really like it so far! It mimics the sounds of the sonic music, and also the infamous Megalovania. I'm still able to make my own sounds using this synth, and made a quick track of my own just for fun: https://soundcloud.com/kringlekprinkles/man-dancing
