Years ago (must have been early 80's) I wired up a General Instruments 
AY3-8910 Programmable Sound Generator to my OSI Superboard and made all 
kinds of odd sound effects. It was a cute chip - not as much analog 
stuff as the Commodore SID - no filters, just a bunch of DCOs, Envelope 
Gens and a PRN noise source and mixer. Here's a link to a datasheet:

I just found that old circuit in my junkbox. I wonder if there's an 
application here...
