I wept a little from the coolness of this.

You can get a PiDP-11 setup if you still have a VT-100 kicking around somewhere and
a sack of EPROMs and do it again! :)

Nowhere near real time, but it had a couple of oscillators, a level envelope and a simple digital filter (which were almost unheard of back then).  Output was a file that I programmed into a 2708 EPROM and then played back on some homebrew hardware and a discrete resistor 4 bit DAC, varying the clock frequency to set the note.
