I never met the guy, but those early TEX demos inspired me to learn 68000 from scratch. Before long I could rip Mad Max music and remove the lower (and eventually side) borders, and other stuff. I was in another country, there was no Internet, yet there was a community. I eventually got a demo screen into Disk Maggie and received actual kind letters, yes real letters, from many countries. I still have them. TEX, TCB, TLB, ST News, and so many other amazing groups made that humble computer shine. Still have many fond memories.
Waouh ! Just beautiful !! Oo Gorgeous graphics (especially dragons i'm fond of), so sweet music, very smooth coding and animations. Perfect production. Thank you again for your work on our beloved Atari ST demoscene. Respectfully.
The PWM/SID-voice effect is usually made with MFP timer interrupts that follow the YM period (frequency). When you do hardsync demoeffects, the programmer shuts off any MFP interrupts to have 100% stable raster timing (aka "racing the beam"). Hardsync effects include horizontal overscan, plasma and syncscroll.

Thank you so much guys for this wonderful tribute to Udo / -me-. You rock.
That demo is an instant classic, another real gem for the Atari ST.
Super nice prod. Fond of the dragon image, wow !
Good one!

Thanks Geoffroy!
Simply gorgeous.
Great demo and a lovely tribute. Thanks for uploading it (and leaving the full scroll intact)!
Lovely, great code, awesome art, nice to see the many additions to the party version. Yup another instant coup de coeur!
That is such a cool idea for a demo
This is beautifull!
Awesome demo! Awesome guys.
Łapka UP 👍
Yes, nice.
Can someone explain to me why you can't "theoretically" play "SID" PWM music when doing the overscan trick?
any conflict with timmer C or ? thx
