Phasor: 12 FM voices plus 2 white noise generators.

IIGS: 32 oscillator wavetable synthesis.  Capable of anything from 15
      to 32 independent voices.  Digital audio playback, synthesis,
      and MIDI via software.

Which is better?  The Phasor is like a toy compared to the IIGS.
The IIGS' sound chip was used in the professional Mirage and
ESQ-1 samplers/synthesizer keyboards popular in the late 1980s.

Look up "ESQ-1" on the web to read about it....
