Better suited video to explain the features of this analog module: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ay74S34XI

Wasn't Ming Mecca the name of that high end CPU from Pi? Is this an explicit reference or just a coincidence?

explicit reference! I thought it was a good parallel since in the film Max uses the chip to help him uncover the mathematical algorithms driving the world. My system sort of does exactly the same but in reverse, allowing people to construct algorithms and see the resulting world rendered on the display.

Also I'm just a huge fan of the film.

Thanks for the answer!

It is a great film!

Holy shit, the trailer video is an amazing nostalgia fest, even if I still have no idea what the product does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nxfcsPiwcw

Oh god if you have any sensitivity to rapid flashing lights and colors do not watch that trailer

I should probably save my observation for reddit, but I'm surprised how well this soundtrack https://youtu.be/VVOwhNg25GQ goes with the trailer https://youtu.be/3nxfcsPiwcw. It's from the right era I think.

I really want to want one of these but I have no idea what I'd use it for, and not enough space in my euro rack to risk on it.

I'm so glad that we live in a universe where this exists, though.
