Thank you for purchasing a

Special Stage Systems

WORLD CORE

,

the central module in the

MING MECCA

voltage controlled video-

game console. The

WORLD CORE

is a video-generating

EURORACK

module that uses

TILEs

,

SPRITEs

, and

COLLISIONs

to create video-

game-like graphical environments. We like to think of it as an “onto-
logical toy”—a philosophical laboratory for creating, exploring, and
experimenting with interactive virtual worlds. But the

WORLD CORE

can be used for all sorts of different purposes. In addition to its
world-building capabilities, it’s also extremely powerful as a deep
and fully customizable digital video synthesizer, as well as a unique
voltage controlled

GATE

and

TRIGGER

generator.

Although the

WORLD CORE

is fully functional as a stand-alone unit,

it can also be connected to one or more

CONTROL COREs

to form an

enhanced

MING MECCA

system. The

CONTROL CORE

interfaces with

NES

-compatible gamepads and converts their output into modular-

friendly voltages. For users who are interested in experimenting with
videogame mechanics and world exploration, we highly recommend
the purchase of at least one

CONTROL CORE

for moving

SPRITEs

and

manipulating world-states. The full

CONTROL CORE

manual is includ-

ed in

APPENDIX B

; if you own or plan to own a

CONTROL CORE

, we

recommended that you read this first, since some of the

WORLD

CORE

patch examples assume familiarity with it.

MING MECCA

has been designed as an extendable platform, with

many more

CORE

modules planned for eventual release. If you

would like to be notified as new designs are announced, please con-
sider signing up for the

Special Stage Newsletter

via our contact

page at

specialstagesystems.com/contact.

Finally, all of us at

Special Stage Systems

would like to thank you

for joining us on this new adventure. We can’t wait to see what
strange and exciting worlds you discover.
