Abstract: A sound generation circuit for producing a dual tone which includes memory circuitry for storing data for controlling production of the dual tone, selection circuitry for selecting data stored in the memory circuitry and frequency dividers for producing an output signal having a frequency which varies based on the data selected by the selection circuitry. The production of the dual tone is based on the output signal of the frequency dividing circuitry. The sound generation circuit also includes logic circuitry to inhibit selection by the selection circuitry of data for controlling production by the sound generation circuit of a musical note when the sound generation circuit is currently producing a dual tone. The melody and dial sections of the sound generation circuit employ common elements.
