Cheap n cheerful 8-bit-style multi channel generative sound chips/modules
For cheap + available as jellybean from china assembly services, just using another microcontroller would be sensible, there are open source emulation projects for a lot of the popular retro chips, some that can even be drop-in replacements. Like if you want an AY-3-8912 there's this project that only needs ATmega48 + a few passives, https://github.com/Yevgeniy-Olexandrenko/avr-ay-board
