One could dig out the good ol' C64 as well. The old method of playing
samples on the SID (the 4 bit volume register method) has been around
for almost as long as the chip. Consequently, there were "sound
digitizers" for the C64 as well, and obviously, there had to be
software for them. Wonder what one could find there...
