It may not be exactly what you're after, but if you've not already done so, 
check out http://www.nanoloop.com.  Nanoloop is a tracker that allows 
direct access to the sound chip on the Nintendo Gameboy.  There are also 
some schematics online for providing sync to existing setups, although I 
usually just feed the sounds/loops directly into a sampler or computer and 
play with 'em there.

You can get some pretty kewl noises with only a bit of tweaking, and it's 
great to take on roadtrips where you want to get some work done without 
dragging a ton of gear around the countryside.
