"SpectreVideo 8-bit Video Synth
Note: Although I am associated with Folktek this work is unaffiliated with Folktek. I've wanted to make an 8-bit video synth for a little while, just something kind of simple from an old RF-based gaming circuit (thus requiring a composite mod) that creates a crash-free plethora of chunky glitch-scapes. Something you can get lost in, like a game, yet without a distinguishable system or game identity. With all the retro gaming systems crossing the chopping block I finally got around to making this little 6x knob, 1x switch corrupted video box. It has a lovely feel about it, very hands-on, playable. You can create a nice range of landscapes with it, static, jittery or ever-evolving.
The housing is a rusty old signal generator which looks like it's seen it's fair share of use. All original controls were used up minus the crystal ports. By using jumper cables to connect the two ports at the bottom of the interface you can switch the mode a little. Shift rather. It adds different glitch variations to the way the graphics fragment and rearrange themselves. 
It's true, the box doesn't really compliment the visuals well, but finding a pretty yet compact box that was still large enough to house the circuit and it's enormous power supply was challenging. A heavy little box for sure, but worth every pound.The SpectreVideo is in tribute to Yar's Revenge.
This device is perfect for:
8-bit cocktail parties
Retro gaming conventions
Getting weird
Artistic pretensions
Composite layers
This device was made to last. Although a device of this nature is fragile by design I have gone through great lengths to ensure that this device stands the test of time. It has been tightly assembled, designed with thought and built with solid parts.
Note: Unlike most circuit bent video devices this device does NOT need a TBC unit in order to prevent projector drop-out.
Feel free to e-mail any questions you may have in regards to this device. Shipping is free.

"Demo of the SpectreVideo 8-bit video synth available from BPMC as both a stand-alone device and as an add-on switchable source for the Fritz Box 3.0.
This adds 8 knobs or so to any Fritz Box commission and acts as a switchable source to process thru Fritzy's pre-existing circuit bent FX. Very playable and potentially controllable via body contacts.
Cheers cheers.
Yum yum, gimme some. From BP to you."
