"In the museum there are three objects without any documentation. As one of the pictures shows they were probably made by Electric Music Studios te London. Researching the Internet, [EMS] didn't provide clear explanations. The three objects appear to be one musical instrument, but are not in a working condition, so this theory can't be tested. One object bears the name of its former owner, Mr. Lawrence Casserley, London. Melvin Poore, a Britsh composer living in Cologne, Germany, delivered the e-mail address of Mr. Casserley. The following illustrations of the objects were send to Mr. Casserley"

"While we’re on an EMS roll - I found this yesterday too, a website from a 1970s UK computer centre where they developed ‘CASS’ software and an interface to control the VCS3 from one of their computers.

'The CASS (Computer Aided Sound Synthesis) package is provided to make soundtracks synchronised to computer generated films or to generate musical output from the computer. The programs are available on the Atlas PDPI5. The VCS3 synthesizer, further details of which can be found in the User's Guide, is used to realise the sounds.'"
