Upgrades to GVS006, "The IFD" from last November

Via gleix.net/ifd -

“The IFD came back to me for a few minor feature additions (kill switch for up/down/left/right CV inputs, composite video input & select switch) as well as a custom CNC’d front and rear i/o panel“

A page for the DIY Modular Video Synthesizer is up!

I finally got myself to put together the basics of a page for my DIY video modular! Right now it lists out all of the current modules with information & photos of each. In the future I’m hoping to add additional image galleries of what the modules do individually, make videos explaining things, add documentation/schematics, and go into a bit more detail. For the moment, though, I’m just happy to have something up. There’s only 30hp left unfilled :)

Gleix Video Synth // The I.F.D. // A semi-modular analog video synthesizer

The I.F.D.

A self contained semi-modular audiovisual synthesizer for video feedback, digital glitches, drones and colorful experimentation

I feel like I’ve spent as much time documenting this build as I did making it, so I’m really excited to finally be sharing it with the world. This is what I might consider my “flagship” video synthesizer for the time being and it will serve as a reference point moving forward. Check out the page for this build here at gleix.net/ifd

Via the IFD page:

The I.F.D., or Industrial Feedback Device, is an audiovisual synthesizer based around a no-input video feedback loop, video RAM and buffer manipulations, simple oscillator functionality, audio reactivity and sound generation, and CV implementation to allow easy integration into an existing modular ecosystem (esp. eurorack).

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

The originally beige enclosure was painted with an industrial theme and intentionally weathered and the primary aluminum control panel was given a circular brushed look to fit the theme.

New build: A feedback-centric video synthesizer, the 100PFB

Via the 100PFB page:

The 100PFB, which stands for 100% Feedback, is a video synthesizer based around creating a no-input feedback loop by feeding two analog video signal converters into each other and exposing controls for manipulating the image.

The I/O includes two composite video outputs (one for the main mix, one for a mini monitor), a VGA output, an external signal/audio input with on/off, and a 5v power jack.

The main panel includes mix knobs for the red, green and blue channels, ‘pulse’ buttons for each channel, an LFO with on/off and controls for rate, shape, depth, switches to send the LFO to each color channel, image shift buttons, zoom/crop adjustment, basic menu controls, and switches for causing some visual glitches.

The device was built into an enclosure which was painted using a hydro-dipping marbling technique.

Custom built for Adam Kane who does visuals over at the 100% Electronica stream on Twitch.
