PacorexTheTrex has unveiled a fresh track titled Mayhem Syndicate Beat, blending retro hardware with bold sound design. The focus keyphrase Mayhem Syndicate Beat captures the spirit of this video, which presents both a musical experiment and a technical showcase.
The piece was built in Furnace Tracker, using the Commander X16’s VERA chip paired with Konami’s K053260 sound hardware. To give the song extra dimension, Pacorex added an oscilloscope view with Corrscope, letting viewers see the sound as well as hear it. This makes Mayhem Syndicate Beat both an audio performance and a striking visual presentation.
Creating the Track
What began as an unfinished idea turned into a complete song in just seven days. Pacorex jokes about feeling lazy during the process, yet the results tell a different story. With layered channels and sharp design, Mayhem Syndicate Beat feels alive and unpredictable. The Konami sound hardware provides richness, while the X16’s VERA chip ties everything together visually.
A Community Dedication
The track is also a tribute to the Pinewood Builders Community. Friends in this group inspired Pacorex to revisit the piece and bring it across the finish line. That sense of community adds personal meaning behind the music, giving it weight beyond the technical achievement.
The video stands as more than just a release—it’s a celebration of creativity, retro computing, and community spirit. For anyone into chip music or retro visuals, this is a track worth watching and hearing.
