The standard MSX sound generation capability is the PSG (Programmable Sound Generator). Like many aspects of the MSX system, this chip was a standard off-the-shelf part, in this case the popular General Instrument AY-3-8910 or one of many clones and variations. The chip provided 3 channels of sound with each channel capable of playing a tone or noise. This chip was commonly used in the era and was also utilized by other home computers (including the Amstrad CPC, TRS-80 Color Computer, and later ZX Spectrum models) as well as numerous arcade games.
Some models of the Fujitsu FM-7 series (including the FM-7, FM-NEW7, and others) also included the General Instrument AY-3-8910 for sounds.
