Audiovisual synthesizer, feedback generator, and video FX processor.

This device is model no. GVS008 and is the first in the series to feature an external video input, and custom CNC’d front & rear panels. This machine is similar to The I.F.D. in terms of feature set, minus CV implementation and + the video input. The input allows this model not only to function as a synthesizer and internal feedback generator, but as a loopback for use with video mixers, and as a standalone glitchy video FX processor similar to the VGS35 & GVM002.

The I/O includes a composite video output, composite video input, a VGA output, an external audio input (1/8” and 1/4”), and a standard 2.1mm barrel jack for a 5v power supply.
