Either they did some filtering for the video, or it happened as a
result of the compression… listening to the output of these programs
directly is much more painful. ;)

This just puts it within range:

  Step s => dac;
  0 => int t;

  while (true) {
      t++;
      (t*(t>>5|t>>8))>>(t>>16) => int sa;
      (sa & 0xff) / 128. - 1. => s.next;
      6::samp => now;
  }
