Ater successfully getting the TinySID library running on a PIC32 [1] some time ago, I recently wondered, if the 16 bit MCUs from Microchip would also be fast enough to run the code. It turned out, that they are, at least the 40 MIPS models (PIC24H and dsPIC33F).
A big hurdle is the (compared to the PIC32MX) small RAM on these chips. Since the SID tune must be loaded into RAM, only some small tunes will fit into the 8 kB of the MCU used on the Web Platform [2] I had at hand.
However, the source code [3] and binary [4] are available from Google Code. The PWM output is on IO7, and IO8 is used to switch the tune when pulled to GND.
Have fun,

Neetrk/Neetsynth – Cross-platform tracker/synth appeared
It’s an (emulated) ASCII-mode, MOD like tracker with integrated softsynth. Currently including binaries for Win32/Linux32/Linux64. You will need Java6 and on LInux portaudio19 to run the tracker. The Tracker is written in Java, the Soft-Synth in ‘pure’ C [;)] The final release will include stuff to use the tracked songs in 64k demos (of course the songs will then be highly compressable, comparable to FRs V2).
