Absolutely killer!

[@chrisarndt8251]

Absolutely! I hope you make a vid!!

[@djchilxxn]

oh my goodness, i'm so happy to find this, i'v been looking for a CV compatible video synth that does composite out and it seems i've found it. as soon as we got to the feedback section I was like - SOLD! haha. thank you!

[@keitorajames]

Incredible work. This will be the start of my modular video setup. Can't wait to see what you're cooking up next!

Awesomeness!

[@tombabbington-fowles7672]

Amazing

[@sodothehivesonhisleg]

This is awesome! Really great contribution to the live performance space :) After watchinf a lot of videos i think a seperate unit to 'master' the generated output with things like contrast and colour pallette settings, VHS style degredation effects, maybe chromatic abberation and blur effects, 'vignette' overlays etc. Basically a little mini simplified version of thr kinds of fx units used in tv production in the 90s. Would help provide glue for power users. Also of interest might be an expander that scans values along the image abd converta the output to eurorack levels, to feed back into the modular. Will keep my eye on what you come up with!

[@AnimatedLoopHD]

That feedback mode is tasty.

[@nealohara782]

awesome

[@pongi777]

omg, ill definately get one, itll be such a great improve to my lzx system, seems like you can go on pahts off tipical symmetry, thats great!

[@SecondBreakfastMusic]

Thanks for the video! I have a bunch of modules preordered with LZX to jump into video synthesis. Would love to see a video about integrating Hypno with other video synthesis modules.

[@SleepyCircuits]

Thanks for watching and the feedback! Will definitely look into making a tutorial like this happen.

[@moving_gates7757]

Hello Sleepy ! So all caution to the wind i an only 1.5 years into Eurorack and of course i dove into stand alone vid-synth modules i have 5.5 (.5 a Lemon paperweight) and recieved my Hypno 2+ months ago. I am absolutely blown away by the depth and control and just plain and simple this is the end all be all unit for me! It makes my favorites that i own look like stick figures being compared to the 4th Dimension as the 3rd eye see's it!!!😱👏👏👏🏆Kudo's 💚💛❤ (i am having power issues tho, i feel i must need an update) is there a preferred channel i could message you for some quick guidance? Truly the greatest , and my favorite piece of gear. Thank you THANK YOU !!!

[@SleepyCircuits]

Hi there, thanks for your kind words! Sorry you're having some power issues? Please email us at [e-mail] and we will get that straightened out asap (also check out forum.sleepycircuits.com as there may be a solution there already).

[@mwatkins0590]

the features seem awesome but it seems a little more space efficient than I would prefer. with 4 or 8 more hp you could add a few more knobs and sliders to reduce the page diving and to put a breakout for that hdmi on the front. and I know its a stylistic choice but labeling the knobs and inputs/outputs on the device would make it much less intimidating for someone trying to learn it.

[@SleepyCircuits]

Thanks for your thoughts!

[@elyssapalmer2298]

You should make a pink version and call it Sissy Hypno

[@sandwich-breath]

What a great product, interface and design. You killed it!! question, I may have missed it in the video... is this also controllable via midi cc's? I'm very interested in feeding the Hypno midi values from my mixer to control the visual parameters while I'm mixing techno. Thanks in advance!

[@SleepyCircuits]

Yes it is please see: vimeo.com/435927940

[@SleepyCircuits]

oh and the manual: sleepycircuits.com/hypno-manual

[@sandwich-breath]

@@SleepyCircuits Thank you

[@musicartgeek]

Very impressive. I've been to your site and checked out FAQs, but still not totally clear: Which Pi model do I need for installing in Eurorack? What is approx depth of the euro module with power adapter, cables or any other necessary cables. To put another way, I'd like to buy assembled, ready to go, with HDMI out to the front panel - and mount in an Intellijel Palette case. Can I do that, and how do I do that?

[@dialnfornick]

Wow wow wow

[@beschterrowley3749]

so user friendly

[@SorchaSublime]

i would be interested to see some video processors next. this could blossom into a fantastic hardware environment. out of interest is there a reason why the knobs and jacks arent labelled?

[@SleepyCircuits]

The knobs and jacks are not labeled because they have multiple functions. The interface was designed around the principle of muscle memory, which we think works rather well once you have it in your hands for a couple of days. As far as video processing goes, we may have a few things up our proverbial sleeve =)

[@SorchaSublime]

@@SleepyCircuits that makes sense. I may have personally preferred a larger interface with knob-per-function, but as we are sort of in the halcyon days of accessible video synthesis I will take what I can get.

[@SleepyCircuits]

@@SorchaSublime Keep in mind, you can connect a knoby MIDI controller to the front USB port on the Hypno to achieve knob per function glory.

[@jayjayjay391]

Hey man awesome product and video I went on the site says sold out atm.. So subscribed.. Will it work with all gear or??

[@SleepyCircuits]

Thanks for subscribing! There are ways of making Hypno work with almost any other piece of gear. If you are looking for more specific advice, feel free to post over on our forum - forum.sleepycircuits.com

[@iamsushi1056]

what about randomization? is that planned for future updates? (either generating a whole new patch or randomizing certain parameters)

[@SleepyCircuits]

Great suggestion! This is something we will definitely think about, but we kind of ran out of button combinations with all the features we have added. We will revisit this idea after the holidays, but in the meantime, feel free to post your feedback on our forum - forum.sleepycircuits.com/t/hypno-ideas-feedback - so it is easy to keep track of.

[@wckr1826]

Very very cool device! Just wondering, can you feed your own videos into this?

[@SleepyCircuits]

Yes! forum.sleepycircuits.com/t/video-input-hypno-2-0-firmware/ (this firmware ships with all new units)

[@m0osebeard]

Just hearing about this. . . .and ordered! Can it make triangles?

[@SleepyCircuits]

As of the recent 2.2.3 patch, YES! the square shape has turned into a poly shape, the advanced shape page's (2 button combo) "num sides" control (furthest opposite knob) controls the number of sides so all sorts of polygons are now possible!

[@SS-qg9jk]

when I play it in my laptop can I add my own design there (in the video recorded) or animation?

[@SleepyCircuits]

I am not sure I understand the question. Hypno has been updated since this video came out and can now load custom designed videos or images placed on a connected USB stick. These videos/images can then be processed further thru the Hypno engine. I hope that helps.

[@MikeUIibarri]

Add a "randomize" feature!

[@nobonesforthedog989]

Hello there, Im about to buy this freaky machine:-) But there one question for me.....I need a monitor to connect with. I thought of an 32 Zoll (80 cm diagonale) with Full HD (1920x1080) with a reactive time of 5 ms. Connection via HDMI. Will this work and are the pictures visible about the whole screen? Or you have an other recommendation for the optimal output? Thanks and all the best.

[@SleepyCircuits]

No reason that shouldn't work. Hypno will automatically recognize the resolution of the TV and adjust its output accordingly, so it should fill the whole screen.

[@nobonesforthedog989]

@@SleepyCircuits Thanks and yes all works fine.....sleepy...yeah:-)

[@duridium]

looks great. can you use the video clips available on your website as an input to the Hypno? That would be absolutely gorgeous and allow so much more diversity. Truly looking forward to your reply on that.

[@SleepyCircuits]

Yes, I often feed the video packs on our website from my laptop's HDMI port and into the Hypno's video synthesis engine (which was recently updated to allow for video input and processing).
