The MOS Technology 6581/8580 SID (Sound Interface Device) was the built-in Programmable Sound Generator chip of Commodore's CBM-II, Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Commodore MAX Machine home computers.

The SID-6581D project (or V-SID 1.0) has begun in March 2005, by David Amoros.
After he discovered the Bob Yannes’s interview (the creator of the SID chip) on internet, he decided to create an emulation of the SID behaviour in a FPGA (EP1C12 Cyclone Altera).

Texas Instruments SN76477
The Texas Instruments SN76477 "complex sound generator" is a sound chip produced by Texas Instruments. It was originally produced in 1978[1] but has since been discontinued. It was typically used as a sound effects generator in arcade games and toys.

OPLx decapsulated
Matthew Gambrell and Olli Niemitalo, 2008/04/20
We have an interest in emulation of YM3812, which is the OPL2 sound chip found in the Adlib and 8-bit Sound Blaster cards. A later derivative OPL3 is found in early 16-bit Sound Blasters. We sent one YM3812 and one YMF262 (OPL3) to MEFAS for decapsulation; the cost was around 90 USD each. They indicated that the chips would still be operational after decapsulation, but we had no need to test this. Looking at the revealed YM3812 die surface with a microscope turned out two ROM's. ...

YM2164, aka OPP (FM Operator Type-P), is an FM synthesis sound chip developed by Yamaha, related to Yamaha's YM2151. It was used in various MIDI-based synthesizers, including the Yamaha DX21, DX27, DX100, SFG-05 and FB-01, along with the Korg DS-8 and 707. The YM2164 has the following features:
    * Eight concurrent FM channels (voices)
    * Four operators per channel
    * One low frequency oscillator

The YM2151, aka OPM (FM Operator Type-M) is an eight-channel four-operator sound chip. It was Yamaha's first single-chip FM synthesis implementation, created originally for the Yamaha DX series of keyboards.
