The Atari 2600 had only 2 voices, making it difficult to play chords. A solution that is popular is to use a fast appegio to produce a chord-like effect.
Since there are only two voices on the Atari, it's difficult to play chords. But you can use fast arpeggios to give the effect of playing chords on only one voice. You just step through each note of the chord quickly which gives the essence of the chord. Typically I do a note per step in my music driver. I have tried running arpeggios at a note per frame (60 per second) but it sounds bad when it gets that fast. You introduce 60Hz noise at that speed.
A module that provides this functionality (with some bonus stuff) would be useful for distorting and lightly mangling VOCT signals.
