World Cup craze had to arrive to TCTD.

4mat posted this some days ago and fortunately someone made a little intro with it!
Before you think this post is bullshit, you should realize the complexity of replicating such an analog and “human” sound like that of the vuvuzela with a synth like the SID chip. 4mat is a true master of the SID! And the whole intro is only 4KB. Nice Hires graphic too.

The sound of the video is a bit weird. Here you can listen to the original post by 4mat

I will not say “enjoy this demo” this time XD
