Just a couple of weeks to wait and I can buy one. Not been so excited about a piece of 'party tech' for a very long time. The potential is incredible for amazing visuals without having a giant VJ rig, and years of practice. As an old guy who started clubbing in the UK in 1989, the availability of an affordable, usable visual synth with this kind of power, and lasers that a normal human can afford, is the holy grail I always dreamed about.

I hope they come up with a decent demo for this thing because I'm not seeing $1200 worth of equipment here, but what do I know.

I’m kinda with you . For that money you can run software with a MacBook

a friend of me is working on a rasperry pi 5 video synth, wait and see ^^

Depends on the application. If you're a lighting technician who wants a bunch of psychedelic effects, or you make installation art that you want people to be able to interact with (say that you set up a room with a projector and place a number of sensors in the area that respond to audio, touch, pressure and electromagnetic disturbances created by the movement of people around the exhibit, allowing people to observe how their presence in the space can alter the visuals and grant each person a unique experience with the art) it's probably perfect. The market for video synthesisers is very small because it's not a technology that most people would have a use for, but it's pretty much the only way to get these effects without a significant amount of artefacts or rendering time. This thing does a very specific job very well and it's one of those things that you might not use often, but if someone else wants these effects you'll probably be the only person with the capacity to do it, so it can secure you some work that you wouldn't otherwise be called upon to do (I'm talking music videos, films and television work where they want to produce a trippy sequence of visuals quickly and easily. Rendering these effects through a vfx program could take days to get up to the same standard that this unit does on the fly)

@@casanovafunkenstein5090 are you sure ? Because I’m certain this device runs on a computer , just with a custom chassis lol

@casanovafunkenstein5090 11 ай бұрын

@@the_glove I would assume that the computer interface is there to set parameters on the hardware and provide a clear user interface, because otherwise it wouldn't actually be a video synthesiser and would require a dramatically more powerful video processor than would be practical in this configuration. It's relatively easy to use oscillators to do this type of thing, but doing it all in software is very expensive in terms of the processing power needed to draw and render that much information every frame without bit rate issues and screen tearing at high resolutions. None of the pixels are staying the same and in theory these patterns should be true fractals, so you're much better off doing them for real and rendering the frames from that input than you are doing both on a computer because the complexity gets out of hand very quickly.

Is there video anywhere of it using audio as an input source

@merlinoner 11 ай бұрын

Very cool but it should do more simple effects and not only kaleidoscopic ones.

@casanovafunkenstein5090 11 ай бұрын

Those are the simple effects. The effects you're seeing here are being created as a waveform that is modulated. That's what creates these geometric patterns that shift and change colour. It's like if you've ever seen those demonstrations where they apply a sine wave to a flat surface with some sand on it and the sand moves around and makes patterns depending on the frequency of the vibrations, only fully electronic. Anything other than these dense, kaleidoscopic effects is incredibly complicated to do with this type of technology because you need to do a completely different type of operation in order to do it. This is meant to do what the visualisers in games consoles or media players do, except in a dedicated unit. You're meant to either use this to introduce trippy visuals to a music video whilst integrating live footage, or supplement a light show that's synchronised with a musical performance.
