When I remember right it is built around a microcrontroler and uses its 
buildin d/a converters hence the odd frequencys.
It should be cheap, such a chip costs ca. 5$. They are no DSPs so they 
lack dedicated assembler commands (for instance for fft), but with 
simple alghorhythms and limiting yourself to 8bit they can (digital) rock!

A simular project is the rozzbox:

but I recommend getting a developer board, hooking up to music-dsp 
mailing list and create your own lowtech synths ;)

Cheers,

Malte
