Developer Alexander Zolotov has released PixiVisor for iOS, a new app that lets you treat video as sound.
Why would you want to treat video as sound?
Transmitting video as sound lets you use your complete toolkit of audio-mangling tools on video. And, at $1.99, PixiVisor is a cheap option for experimenting with video synthesis. Continue reading
Developer Alexander Zolotov has released PixiVisor, a tool that lets you send and receive video as audio.
And because it lets you handle video as audio, it lets you use your complete toolkit of audio-mangling tools for mangling video.
PixiVisor is multi-platform, with versions planned or available for Android, Windows, LInux, Mac and iOS. Continue reading
At this year’s NAMM Show, there was a wealth of modular synthesizer gear on display, more than we’ve ever seen at previous NAMM Shows. It’s a reflection of the increasing interest in modular synthesis and the growing number of modular synth manufacturers. Continue reading
Music video for Crypts’ Fancy, featuring modular video processing with an LZX video synthesizer.
Via reader Nick Bartoletti, who included these technical details:
Footage was shot on location with DSLR’s, a VHS camcorder, and a vintage tube camera. Once i cut the pieces together i then ran the footage through an LZX video synthesizer. I did a few different takes with various patches. I also did some takes using an old video mixer and camera for feedback and also used an oscilloscope with the LZX for some vector rescanning. I then mixed the effected clips in with the original footage.
This 2012 NAMM Show video, via Sonic State, features LZX Industries and their line of Eurorack video synthesis modules.
Michael Matos‘ Cusp – A Remembrance of the Forgotten is a short film synthesized using LZX Visionary modules, ‘my dearest Eurorack pals’ and an oscilloscope.
Matos explains:
A small basic lzx system using the vsg, into the tvp, into the video ramps to boost the signal straight to the oscilloscope.
I used a variety of euro, especially the WMD gamma wave, Maths, anti-oscillator, and the piston honda. I’m trying to explore a more primitive palette, than the one you usually see from the lzx. It’s a highly flexible system, and one that easily adapts to your vision.
