C64 is a timeless machine. Here's a classic technique called HARD SYNC. It works by using one of the voices as a carrier that drives the main voice, syncing the oscillators to give that bright, harsh sweep. Main theme played on C64 is pure SID chip and isn't edited in any way #chiptune #cyberpunk 🤘👾
