Why wouldn't one simulate all this stuff with a relatively cheap
microcontroller instead
of trying to torque an OKI sample player? Cheap micros can play back
samples just
fine, plus they could real-time synthesize all the Cinematronics portamento
stuff you
would ever want (Star Castle is just two square waves, afaik).

Maybe it's just 'cause I'm a programmer.

If you want an OKI board, just use mid-period Atari sound boards. You get
Yamaha
FM for free.
