Tuneful keyboard

I've noticed on some of my Einsteins that when pressing keys it will produce varying tones through the speaker depending on which key is pressed.

I know that the sound and keyboard are both handled by the AY-3-8910 but honestly so far I've done zero investigation, just wondered if anyone else had seen or fixed this?

Bad AY chip? Dodgy caps? No idea :lol:

Mine does that on one of them. It has been fully recapped and had a new AY chip as mine was dodgy. It still does it.

It makes different noises if I press and hold a key.
