<em>I did publish this link on the FB group earlier but just in case you missed it</em> A very small sneak peek at one of the effects I've coded for my upcoming X16 demo: VERA.FX 1 Inspiration came from a C64 Flexible Line Distance (FLD) routine I wrote back in the 1980s! Hopefully the full demo wi...
