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 🤘👾

That's exactly the outcome I expected when the idea of the PS5 blackout first came up. Given the number of consoles Sony sold, the few people who aren't using the PS5 anymore don't make a difference.
