All of this playing with #modularsynth anf #vcvrack has me thinking.

Given that a plugin exists to expose VCVRack's API via TCP/IP - github.com/JerrySievert/vcv-ht

and #fujinet - I wonder if you could wire in your Atari 8 bit as a part of your modular synthesizer :)

POKEY made some truly unique trills, rumbles and squeaks :)

(Haven't done ANYTHING with this yet, just spitballing)
