Analog Video Distortion Effect

here is an interesting video I remember stumbling on to a while ago its unclear exactly what the device is doing because we cant see the original signal but it's interesting and glitchy all the same. Find more from Korntved here

ANSI MIDIo Programable USB Visualizer

Wil Lindsay has been busy! you may remember this post on his video synth based on Parallax chips, well since then he has released a pocket visualizer based on a pic, its called the VBLANK and comes in both NTSC and PAL versions. Now the second version (and a major leap forward) is the possibility of programing your own graphics and controlling it via midi! the project is known as the ANSI MIDIo and can be seen in action here

 

The Synchronator

So you want a pocket size audio visualizer/video synth that creates glitchy visual waveforms and disguises audio as video by adding sync signals? then you want a Synchronator by Bas van Koolwijk and Gert-Jan Prins (what awesome names).

Modified Crosspoint Production Switcher

Here's a fantastic video from tom16mm the goes to show older tech can still compete with software especially in a stable studio environment. The speed at witch the waveform reacts to the audio is still impressive. What you gain (in my opinion) by using hardware is organic interaction and more chance discoveries.

Russian Video Synthesizers & Video Art

here is an interesting site with a bit of info on a Russian video synthesizer and other video works thanks to google translator I can mostly understand the gist of it!

Restate Rebelle

I know it been around for ages but the ultimate mysterious German boutique audio/video effect deserves a post. The website is as purposefully glitchy as the unit itself ! more clear info here
