I found this while synth hopping around the internet. It looks like a pretty snazzy video synth

As the legend goes, when Atari was on tour promoting the device, a Sears representative asked what they were smoking when they invented it. With that, a technician stepped forward holding up a lit joint

I ripped one down, analyzed the circuit & video out.
It's flat-out what inspired the Pocket VBLANK.

They're meet machines, but have a horrible grounding problem that makes 50% of them in the wild dead-on-arrival. They also are designed for channel 3 & need to be heavily modded for composite output. Otherwise... Beautiful.

it has some random funcion, so you if you dont have someone who can control it (which is simple) you can put that random graphic function running on... is defenely a nice tool  to have if your vjing. But is a bit heavy for carry on large trips! XDD.
