Gleix Video Synth #009 // Ｖａｐｏｒ Ｄｒｅａｍ ビデオシンセ
Video synth & feedback generator with CV integration and attachable mini LCD monitor
Overview // Demo video
This device, dubbed “Ｖａｐｏｒ Ｄｒｅａｍ,” is model no. GVS009 and is a sort of successor to the 100PFB in terms of aesthetics. With a dual mode oscillator, RGB assignable noise generator, audio input, and CV integration for color and image shift controls, it resembles The I.F.D. as far as functionality goes, but trades out the glitch patch-bay for an attachable mini LCD monitor. The monitor has its own hook-ups for power and video and it attaches to the top of the device via a magnetic base which hold it safely in place. This model, unlike all previous, runs on 12v.
The I/O includes 2x composite video output (primary & monitor), VGA output, an external audio input (1/8” and 1/4”), a 12v 2.1mm barrel jack for power, and another barrel jack for powering the monitor.
