The Philips SAA 1099 sound generator was a 6-voice sound chip
used by some 1980's devices, notably:
- The SAM Coupé British-made computer
- The Creative Music System (C/MS) and Game Blaster cards by Creative Labs, which were apparently the same hardware. They had 2 chips, for 12 voices.
- Their Sound Blaster 1.0 cards (and 1.5 if you added it on). However that card also had an OPL2 chip (aka YM3812), which became much more popular.
The chip produced square waves and noise (at 3 different frequencies). It's main feature was that it could output in stereo (it was possible to set the left and right channel volume independently).
