They can be nice. I remember I did that for the Atari STs Soundchip, a 3 channel chip. I had a lot of instruments: drums, violin, distorted stuff, bass, even delay FX.
Then again, a tru MOD player would allow to load a MOD in a PC tracker, replace all samples with extremly small files and play the sounds on your chip. But maybe you could also write a converter that would comvert an ordinary .MOD to a special chiptune file, using the mentioned envelopes etc.
A further solution would be a midi player.
