Playstation 2 Startup Sound Explained

This is a video explaining a few things about the Playstation 2's startup sequence sound effects.

For a further breakdown of how the main "piano smashing" chord was put together:  Playstation 2 Startup Sound Further E...

The original composition and sound samples were created by Takafumi Fujisawa.

NOTE:  Something weird happened with the CPU specs text (put an "f" in front of some of the numbers) but ehhhhh.... let's just keep that our little secret.

ANOTHER NOTE:  The audio samples for the BIOS are easy to extract from the BIOS file using a program called "PSound":  http://snailrush.online.fr/  I cannot redistribute the copyrighted BIOS file or the samples contained within it.
