Music IC's

Dear All

Can some one explain to me how the "low price" music and melody IC's are designed. These are the types used in toys. It is not digital music stored in a ROM. Usually, I see in the board only one small IC that is the sourse the of the music.

Also, can you provide with names of some vendors for this kind of low price music IC's.

Thanks

These chips do have some memory tables with songs samples, and most of the times any toy have it's own custom chip.
