So extensively detailed for a build report, but only very short sound demo? I also read it is basically producing a square wave only, so i'm having trouble recognizing this as a synthesizer, with no real synthesis, modulation, filter going on at all. More appropriately called a "greeting card sound chip with USB-MIDI", won't even categorize (as low-complexity as these are) as PSG.

Single oscillator synthesizer is still a synthesizer. It’s not just the square wave, you also have an option to start and stop the sound (envelope). Sure, it’s basic to the point of being almost useless[1], but that was the goal I guess. [1]: Although a device with similar capabilities called Stylophone ended up in Space Oddity.
