Atari Video Music and Modular Synthesizer

[douro20]

A very sophisticated analog video synthesizer made by Atari, and only sold in 1976. I'd like to think that it came out a bit too early.

Awesome. I have one of these Atari machines- for sale if the price is high enough.

They were only made in 1976 and it was called the "Atari Video Music system"

"omg it's erased my mind...can't...remember....nam­e....can't....????

@PhobiaGuy The repeating triplets are like the opening theme, although the original is much heavier. The music is orchestral when they get outside and find the old man, traditional sounds for a vanished past? Logan's slowed down and layered voice "There is no sanctuary!" is a brilliant way of livening up a very static scene of one actor stuck in a chair with visuals behind.

How chit, I have one of those Atari devices! Found it at a garage sale some years ago. I have no idea when it was produced, but the imagery in the intruction book & wood-grain/silver case suggest the late-'70s/early-'80s. First time I tried it out I played Van Halen's "1984" & man... What an effect! The way it reacts to more precise electronic signals is a sharper image is produced. The best way to hook it up is to feed it from the audio line-out ports on the VCR so you can record all of it.

Shows how my mind works
