sound effects
I don't know how you feel about dabbling with micros, but it's a good way to generate some flexible sound effects. I seem to remember National Semi had a very good app. note on the subject for their COP8 micros, the examples were in assembler and simple enough to translate to the micro of your choice. Sorry, my NS apps databook is buried somewhere in storage, so I can't easily locate the note for you. You might try searching the MicroChip archives as well, it's probably been covered there too.
