It does seem to lack audio input though.

The core itself is surprisingly powerful. I designed the GM1 synthesis 
algorithms and instruments as used in the VS1000 range of ICs. The chips 
manage to get about 20 voices at 36 MHz using a simple virtual analog 
synth for most of the instruments. I did only design, so I have no idea 
about what the actual asm/C code is.
