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: youtube.com/watch?v=yWOAElPbu8Q
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.
0:00 Introduction
0:10 Technical Overview
1:12 Startup Sound
1:21 The BIOS
1:46 The Audio Samples
3:18 Explanation of the Post-Startup Sounds
3:38 Conclusion
