There is a patent on the device – # 4081829 Audio Activated Video Display. It used a n-channel MOS metal-gate semiconductor chip that was the most common process for fast logic at the time (requires +5, -5 and +12volts for powering the logic). The chip was created by a small team, Harold Lee, Bob Brown, Carl Nielson and Allan Alcorn. The idea for Video Music came from Bob Brown with support from Harold. Go to Atari Museum .com to find schematics for it.
