I've also seen reference to the CEM3394 as the Bally/Sente chip.  I 
think they may have been used in some video game machines?  The 3394 is 
a cool little chip especially if you wanted to hack together a low parts 
noise maker.  VCO/VCF/VCA on a chip. It has control for modulating the 
VCF freq with the VCO.  So set the VCF to resonate and crank up the 
modulation and have fun with psuedo-FM.

Sequential used these in the SixTrak/Max/MultiTrak/Split-8 and some 
other manufactures like Akai used them in some of their polyphonics.  
Paul's CEM list probably mentions them.  How do you think I find out 
about this stuff?
