EDIT: I would use an offset filter or a high pass filter set to a low value, lowpass would be unneeded. It's the extreme low-end that's the problem, not the high end. you want everything 6Hz and up to be played. so set the high pass filter to 5 Hz and have the filter be 36-48dB or something, to Knock that whole 0-5Hz range out.
Just now I have checked out the DOOM's synth strings 4-notes chords (8 parallel channels in use) on one chip in the bank editor, and the clipping happens. It's going even before output will be written into the middle buffer, I.e. inside of emulator itself, and I bet, same will happen on the real chip which I'll test now on my Win98 computer.
EDIT: Okay, the filter will NOT help as the clip happens on ONE chip. The filter is intended to avoid future clip when multiple chips are exciting max sample value. Just now I tried my OPL3 Bank Editor to play chords with the same clip-ish SynthString1 instrument, and clipping has been reproduced, the same as in title theme of Heretic.
