"My car was just broken into in SE Portland, Oregon. They took my monorocket black 9u filled with modules, and a tan 80s apple bag with cables and a 6" sony broadcast monitor. Any help in its return will be rewarded, no questions asked. Note the custom VCAM faceplate and prototype 4ms SISM module. These are one of a kind, and should be easy to track down. The LZX modules are also quite rare. The case is in the exact configuration in the picture when stolen.
Modules-
LZX VWG x3
LZX VBM
LZX Triple fader and keygen
LZX ramps
LZX color encoder
LZX TBC
LZX sync gen
LZX AFD

"LZX Visionary is a line of EuroRack format synthesizer modules designed for creating and manipulating video and images.

www lzxindustries dot net

In today’s era of digital video and computer graphics, tools for the video artist wishing to experiment with the use of analogue circuitry for the creation and processing of images have largely been lost, left to a rich tradition of video artists from the 1960′s and 1970′s. We believe the past several years’ renaissance in the use of analogue synthesizers in music production, and the effectiveness of integrated analogue and digital workflows, to be a precursor to a similar renaissance in video technologies. There is a warmth and immediacy in the analogue, hardware-based video workflow which is lacking within software environments, and video artists worldwide have long been frustrated by lack of access to such tools outside of a few scattered studios. With LZX Visionary, it is our goal to both reintroduce classic vintage video processing and synthesis circuitry, and continually push development of new tools which enhance integration with the tools of the day and fulfill the needs of the modern video artist.

LZX Visionary is a line of EuroRack format synthesizer modules designed for creating and manipulating video and images. While our modules may be augmented within the same system by a wealth of interesting modules from other manufacturers intended for the creation of audio, our goal is to offer a complete system specifically designed for the demands of generating and processing video signals.

This custom system includes:
Monorocket custom Yellow - 8500 mA of power LZX Video case with the following LZX video modules!:
color time base corrector
video divisions
video divisions
video waveform generators X 5 (YES! 5 of them!)
video ramps
color video encoder
video sync generator
voltage bridge
differentiator
function generator
triple video multimode filter
Brown Shoes Only Video Mixer
8 stage video quantizer and sequencer
audio frequency decoder
video blending matrix
triple video fader & key generator
colorspace mapper
triple video processor
4MS VIDEO MULTI
video logic

I Dream of Wires on NPR

I thought this was pretty cool. NPR has a post up on I Dream of Wires. You can find it here.

"Once you cross wires with a modular synthesizer, it's like your bloodstream turns into sine waves. The documentary I Dream of Wires looks at the technological and philosophical genesis of the instrument, all the way to its demise and subsequent resurgence. Make no mistake, this movie is for the fanatics — it clocks in at four hours (!) — but with a shorter theatrical release set for Moogfest in April, maybe it'll inspire a new generation of synth wizards."

The post also features a video for "Burn the Tables" off the soundrack by Solvent, featuring the LZX Video Synthesizer.

LZX Industries MONOLITH 1 of 5

via this auction - learn how to sell on eBay here

These were based on the MFOS Sounlab. See this post for details. There was a keyboard MONOLITH as well. See this post for video and pics.

Via the seller for the listing above: "Ok.. so here's the scoop. I bought this very rare LZX Industries MONOLITH analog synth from a music shop in Austin Texas early last year. They had it set up with a large modular system. I played it for hours and fell in love with the filter. I bought it and took it home where i have been using it as a filter processor for my guitars, vocals, other synths and drums. the filter is BEAST! It is unlike ANY filter I have heard. It can be creamy and smooth or it can SCREAM and overdrive into complete sonic bliss. I have never used it as a synthesizer so i am selling it as is and untested in that regard. I do not know what all these patch points do ro how to set them up so i cant test fully. I would assume they work fine, just cant say. I know they did work fine at the music store when i bought it as they had it hooked up to a keyboard, but it has not been used in that way since then.

Now... as i have researched... LZX Industries only made about 4 or 5 of these. The developer went on to make Video Synthesizers... which he still makes. So this is VERY VERY VERY rare chance to get a synth that you will never find or see or hear of again.

I ran vocals through it again last night and told myself not to sell it, due to ot's uniquie sound and rarity, but alas, i am short of cash these days and could really use the money. I hope it finds a great home where someone can utilize ALL its features..."

LZX and Make Noise Pressure Points

LZX and Make Noise Pressure Points from Raul Pena - Modular Wild/RWOS on Vimeo.

"this video is a little demonstration of how the Make Noise Pressure Points Eurorack Module can be used as a CV source to control the behavior of the LZX Color VIdeo Encoder. in addition it can send out different sets of voltages from different outputs to allow multiple modulation destinations. This example is specific to a basic use with an LZX Video Synthesis system. Sound and Video by Raul Pena."

Atari Video Music C-240 with Lars Larsen (LZX Switched On) Mods

via this auction

"The original Atari C-240 Video Music device is rare, and here is an even rarer unit with modifications by Lars Larsen from LZX Industries! Switched On, the synthesizer store in Austin had Larsen modding c240s for a brief time in 2010 and 2011 before Larsen moved on and started LZX.

The some modifications that make this unit 1000x more handy than an original:
Replaced the terrible flimsy wall wart power supply with a new standard 3 prong
Replaced the coaxial output that required RF demodulation to be usable with a standard component (yellow rca) out
Replaced the rca audio input with standard 1/4" input
The other modifications are a bit more esoteric:
Extra Inputs
Atari Fuzz Chip output
Knobs and switches to control video grids
Someone else wrote all this stuff up and provided a youtube link, and the description is proper:
'This is a limited edition video music modified by Switched On Music Electronics in Austin Texas. Switched On modified 10 of these last year, adding a composite video output (NTSC), 1/4" audio inputs and outputs, a fuzz output (audio from the Atari's built-in distortion circuit=insane FUZZ), and waveform mixer controls for the comparator. With the mods, the Video Music can function as a video synthesizer with no audio input at all--this gives you quite a bit of control over color and shape. It is difficult to achieve this sort of functionality without spending thousands on new LZX system.'"

Mantle Sound Core featuring Anastasia Gera - About Me

Published on Sep 23, 2012 by MantleSoundCore

"This work started with the simple idea of using a type written poem and then composing music to it. Over a couple of days more images and sounds were added, each inspiring the other until the piece felt complete. Surrealistic visions, poetic interludes, analog synthesizers and video, boomboxes and scrambled mind effects are all at the heart of this piece. The song is 100% analog, with all the synths and drums recorded using TR808, TR606, live sequencing the four SH101s. Visual colors and processed effects were done with an LZX visionary.

Don't follow. Not afraid. Future experiment.
To wake you. To remember. You are alive.

Experience.
