Richard's Video Synth Jam mk2

 Yesterday I visited Richard's house (one of the few video synth guys in the UK) to see his system again, test some stuff and talk about building my own system based on his designs for more info on his system see here ---> synth-punk

We captured some low quality video from my capture device that I'm sure will find it's way online at sompoint on his blog but for now here are some even lower-quality snaps from my archaic antediluvian mobile phone. Sorry about the quality :(

we also played with some feedback using Richard's genlockable CCTV camera
his system is fantastic fun to play with!

nightmare machine test

from ldtronics

"some test footage run through a video enhancer that i modified, it now is more of a dehancer and that is just how i like it. the machine can glitch the video (any video source can be run through it) manually or an audio source can be run into it causing it to glitch to the music. it has a lowpass filter which allows you to control the frequencies of the music that cause it to glitch. this video is manual glitching only. also, sorry if the audio level is low... but i am too lazy to fix that."
