Great screaming FSM, I feel so left out because (1) I was selling TRS-80s back in the day, so that's what I knew; and (2) the fact that I was selling TRS-80s back in the day means that I've pretty much aged out of the target group for a lot of this stuff. (I like some of what I hear, but I will readily admit it wasn't written with me in mind.)

But the TRS-80 wasn't completely left out; there was an addon board you could get called Orchestra-80 that was a four-voice synthesizer. I don't know of anyone who ever did anything significant with it, though, in part because it was a $100 (I think) addon to an already expensive system.

I seem to also remember that there was a program that would do polyphonic sound by rotating rapidly between four different, very very short tones, but I may be mixing that up with a similar program for the early versions of the original IBM PC.
