[Jonathan Cauldwell] has come up with just such a tool that lets you do just that, for a variety of 8-bit platforms ... which [Jonathan] explores in a video tutorial series.

If you’re interested in recreating 16-bit Mega Drive/Genesis style sounds then check our other tutorial using Inphonik’s RYM2612 instrument. In this tutorial we turn our attention to the more lo-fi ...

In this tutorial our focus is on ATmega8 microcontroller. ATmega8 comes with two 8-bit and one 16-bit timer. This means that there are 3 sets of timers, each with the ability to count at different ...

Upcoming parts of this tutorial will cover many advanced tips to interface ... A timer is simply a register of 8 or 16 bit size. This is known as the resolution of the timer (ie 8 bit timer, 16 bit ...

I didn't think so). Check out the tutorial and leave a link in the comments to any 8-bit tracks you create.
