Yes, the Apple IIGS's Ensoniq synthesizer is fairly nice, but any
enhanced IIGS model really should provide stereo output (rather than
requiring a third-party add-on for this).

The computer you describe would not be a simple ROM revision, but
would require an entirely overhauled mother board, as well as an
as-yet nonexistent 24MHz 65816 CPU chip.
