@jarkko Ok so I'm playing with "fantasy consoles", and they are quite related to historical hardware. Sound system is quite complex, and I'm looking for historical inspiration.
AFAICT first step is 1-bit beeper a-la Sinclair Spectrum, next step is PSG in Commodore C64, and next one is Amiga 500 with basically tracker modules done in hardware.
What would be "next step" after that, and is there good documentation or youtube video about it?

@pavel I think this more (when bandwdith) but SID is quite different than other chips from that era. It has PSG yes but cuoff and resonance are analog. It would be probably quite different sound if you e.g., connect analog and digital parts in "circuit sense" correctly vs having a fab made single package chip :-)
FPGA is probably what you want to use or like only option that I know, which does not require building a fab. There's project for this:

YM2149 (e..g, Atari ST) is pure digital with three channel PSG (Yamaha calls it BTW SSG but it's the same same).
