Is anyone familiar with the Atari 'Video Music' device that was made in the
mid 70's? I've got one of the things, but I've never hooked it up. 

Basically, the unit hooks up to your color TV, and accepts an audio input
ala color organ. It appears to have a plethora of controls on the front
panel for various modulation schemes. Does anyone know what its supposed to
do?
