[sci.electronics] Top Octave Synthesis Chip?

HELP!!

Does anyone know a CURRENT manufacturer of a "top octave" synthesizer chip?
This device generates all twelve notes of the top musical octave; the re-
maining lower notes can be generated by simple frequency division. 

Mostek used to make the chip, the MK5024.  I've tried SGS/Thompson
and the usual sources.  Does anyone make a chip like this anymore?

I don't know if they still make it, but:

AMI (american microsystems inc)
S50240
S50241
S50242
S50243
S50244
S50245

My data book is from 1982.
