Well, the RAM is a problem indeed. As far as I noticed, whole song (samples mostly) can take no more than 32-35Kb, I think. 
However if the samples are well-made, it's _really_ enough. :) 
Also I noticed that the best and the smallest samples are these ones converted from Amiga500. I don't know why, heh. :)

I'm so fond of the AY that I forgot that Mr Beep specializes in beeper music, not AY. :D

But I like beeper digitized samples too. I've heard what the sample tracker can do with 1-bit quality, and it's still impressive, when we compare it to the days of 2-second digitized speech!
