MIRRORPLEX - circuit bent CCTV multiplexer

video upload by LoFiFuture

Note this is a video processing device and not an audio synth. LoFiFuture is a supporting member of the site.

Details follow:


"I only made one of these units and it is available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

The MIRRORPLEX is based on a 4 channel CCTV multiplexer, a device used to view up to 4 CCTV camera feeds on one screen. In this configuration all 4 inputs are fed the same composite video signal and the user can adjust the settings to create crude mirror effects and adjust brightness, contrast and saturation on each of the 4 video feeds.

10 different circuit bends can be combined in various way via 10 potentiometers. This one is capable of some very complex digital artifacting and posterization effects as well as some rather cliché scrambled analog signal glitches.

Things can be dialled in so things are subtle and detailed or they can be pushed into full chaos. The different arrangements of multiplexed screens come off as quite artistic, you can select what type of border (if any) each feed has and name the feeds via an onscreen title.

The enclosure for this device has been printed on a multi colour 3D printer in PLA. The enclosure was sanded and then polished on all 4 sides to smooth out any layer lines and create a beautiful finish. The text on the front and back has a very fine inlayed look to it.

Specifications:

-Composite video In/out
-NTSC/PAL Compatible
-5-12V DC input (2.1mm Centre Positive) - PSU INCLUDED
-Dimensions 160mm x 100mm x 45mm"

T-420 LITE Analog Video Glitch FX Processor

video upload by LoFiFuture

Note this is not an audio synthesizer, but a video processor from supporting member LoFiFuture.

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

The T-420 LITE features two linear faders that provide the primary control over the effects. There are also two potentiometers, one that controls the overall intensity or gain of the video signal and another that partially stabilizes the sync of the video signal.

There is also a second FX mode that can be activated using the slide switch or momentary button. The momentary button is especially useful when used in a live performance situation.

For I/O it features a USB C input for the power input and two standard RCA connectors are used for video in and out.

This unit works and looks its absolute best when plugged directly into a CRT TV but it also works well in bigger video rigs with video mixers/ TBCs etc.

Specifications:
-Composite video In/out
-NTSC/PAL Compatible
-USB C power input - USB cable is NOT included
-Weight: 101 Grams
-Dimensions 100mm x 85mm x 35mm"

Circuit Bent Feelworld Livepro L1 HDMI Video Mixer - LoFi Future - Rev 2

video upload by LoFiFuture

"A demo video taking you through the possible effects of this modified video mixer. Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

*NEW* V2 Version, based on the newer model of L1 mixer with integrated cooling fan. Each mixer is modified from brand new and comes with all the original packaging and accessories.

The LIVEPRO L1 is an incredibly small fully featured 4 channel HDMI mixer. I have given it the LoFi Future treatment and it is now capable of some extremely crisp high definition effects up to 1080P @ 60 FPS!

8 of the buttons effect the HDMI output encoder for wild colourize and posterize glitches, 8 of the push buttons control frame buffer glitch effects for some true digital corruption artefacts and one knob on the side of the unit that effects how all of the buttons behave as you pan it from left to right. This mixer can produce some insane HD glitches! Check out the demo video to see for yourself!

Included with the LIVEPRO L1 is a 1x2 HDMI splitter as the mixer only has one HDMI output. This allows you to create a fully HD feedback loop!

This Mixer has a built in USB3.0 capture card but as this bypasses the HDMI output encoder the colourize and posterize effects are not seen on that output. However, when using a feedback loop the HDMI encoder fx also become apparent on the capture card output in interesting ways."

Circuit Bent Videonics MX- Pro Video Mixer by LoFi Future

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

This Videonics MX-PRO has been modified and circuit bent turning it into a powerful glitch tool kit with rock solid Time Base Correction that can be used anywhere in the world [PAL & NTSC]

PAL/NTSC MOD
One of the most functional modifications is the addition of a PAL/NTSC switch located on the back. See when Videonics produced these for different domestic markets they would use the same motherboard and chipset for all international units. They would simply include or omit one jumper on the motherboard that tells the MX-PRO what mode to boot into. I have wired this jumper up to a toggle switch on the rear of the console so you can select weather you boot into PAL or NTSC mode when you switch the unit on.

Analog Colorizer
I have integrated a 3 knob LoFi colorizer circuit that is hardwired to composite input one. It features a true bypass switch so the effect can be quickly enabled or disabled.

Arcade Buttons
There are six arcade buttons fitted to the palm rest of the unit for momentarily triggering effects. 3 control glitches for bus A and 3 control glitches for bus B. They are tied into the framebuffer RAM and the video decoders for each bus.

Toggle Switches for Bus A/B
In addition to the arcade buttons there are 4 toggle switches for each bus. These switches are all connected to a common buss allowing you to mix unsynchronised data between bus A and B resulting in scrolling artefacts.

Toggle switches for shape and edge corruption
There are 5 toggle switches located near the T-bar, these corrupt the shape and edge style transitions resulting in interesting patterns and variations of shapes.

The unit comes included with the original switching power supply (can be used anywhere in the world) and the original printed manual."

LoFi Future VGA FX Experimenter - Demo with three T-420 micro analog glitch processors

video upload by LoFiFuture

LoFi Future VGA FX Experimenter Basic CV Demo (No FX)
video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

The VGA FX EXPERIMENTER is a desktop utility module that allows you to process HD VGA signals (or HDMI with some cheap converters) through your existing standard definition composite analog glitch processors.

Each channel features:

- level control

-momentary button that maxes out the level with just a press (great performance tool)

- a FX bypass switch (to bypass the FX box you have connected to that channel)

- a link button (these can link any of the RGB channels together to create interesting colour effects)

- a CV input that responds to positive CV or gate inputs to lower or mute that channel (the higher the CV signal, the lower the channel level)

Its a great way to experiment with analog HD video, just grab a couple of VGA / HDMI converter boxes and you can process HDMI video as analog signals and then convert them back to HDMI for convenience.

No need for a TBC what so ever! The sync signals on VGA are isolated on their own wires and not effected by this device at all. You can glitch as heavy as you want and it will come out as a valid signal. A game changer for VJs and live glitch artists who dont want to lug around a big video mixer, TBC or even a CRT and a Camera. All of which I have lugged in an out of taxis enough to yearn for a better solution!"

LoFi Future T-420 UHG Eurorack Module Video synthesis capabilities demo w/ Mainbow V2

video upload by LoFiFuture

"The T-420 UHG is available to pre-order here!

The T-420 Ultra High Grade is the latest addition to the T-420 family. It features the same core functionality as the original T-420 with some massive improvements.

It is a 12HP euro rack format module but can be used as a standalone module that takes a standard 12V input with the use of an optional baseplate.

The most notable improvement is the addition of 3 new effects. They can be switched on or off via the slide switch and the intensity can be altered with the corresponding knob. Each effect can also be externally switched with a gate source, it can do this all the way up to video rate frequencies.

FX1 - Chroma Bloom (creates washes of banding colours and high saturation)

FX2 - Horizontal displace (a feedback patch that created jagged horizontal lines)

FX3 - Edge Trace (creates ringing feedback effects that trace the bright parts of an image)

There is also a bipolar CV input with a trim control, this controls the overall behaviour of the video processor and thus influences the FX listed above.

A "soft bypass" switch allows you to mix some unaffected video signal with the effected video signal to help stabilise the signal and change the flavour of FX altogether.

A wonderful addition to any modular video synth setup or a great way to introduce some synced CRT visuals to your audio modular."

LoFi Future HDMI Glitch FX Processor - Circuit Bent HD Scaler

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

Its a loooong demo for this one, there are a lot of possibilities with this machine and i wanted to make sure I captured my favourite effects. Skip through the video to check out what it can do! I used a collection of stock footage for the demo running from a small media player, all in 1080p 30fps.

Based on a high quality HDMI scaler originally designed and marketed to extend the compatibility of older HD TVs installed in places like office and commercial settings. When paired with its IR remote (included optionally as they can be difficult to obtain) they can be used to scale and convert an incoming HDMI signal to different resolutions and framerates.

By default they output a 1080P 30fps signal regardless of what you input, The remote isn't a necessity at all for using this as a HDMI glitch processor but is useful if you with to change the output settings.

The unit also features a VGA input (inputs are auto detecting) so it is capable of converting and scaling an analog VGA signal too. Very useful if you want to use it with some LoFi Future VGA glitch adapters before it in the chain.

The controls have been mounted in a separate extension that is securely mounted to the case via 4 screws. This was to prevent any obstruction of the ventilation that would negatively effect the thermal performance of the unit (HD video processing gear gets warm)

12 knobs give you access to 24 different bend points. When a knob is set to 12 o'clock the effect is off, pan it either clockwise or counter clockwise to engage an effect.

When all FX are set to off it passes a completely unaffected, pixel perfect image.

Mixing them together will result in complex glitches with endless sweet spots to explore.

The 12 knobs are split into two busses of 6, the two busses can be linked via the toggle switch on the side so they all connect to the same buss or operate on 2 separate busses. This unlocks a ton more possible effect combinations!

Simple and modern setup, just HDMI in and HDMI out, easy!"

LoFi Future SGFX 100 Analog Glitch FX Processor

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

The SGFX (Studio Glitch FX) 100 is the first model in the new line of large format video glitch fx processors by LoFi Future

Whilst LoFi Future designs usually aim to be compact the SGFX 100 sacrifices portability in favour of a wide range of effects. The 17" wide console can be used as a desktop unit or a 1U 19" rack mount unit (with supplied rack ears)

The controls all reside on the front face of the unit, leaving the top a useable surface to place other pieces of gear (The Panasonic AVE5 and AVE7 video mixers can sit nicely on top for example)

The unit features 10 main controls for altering the image. The first two are specific functions, one being the sharpness / softness control and one being the chroma / colour control. The other 8 are the circuit bent effects that can be combined in all sorts of ways.

As well as these ten controls there is also a true bypass switch and a 'soft bypass' knob. The true bypass switch will completely bypass the FX. The soft bypass knob however will let some of the unaffected video signal mix with the effect video signal when the FX are engaged. This can help restore some stability to the image and also change how all of the FX respond opening up more possibilities.

-PAL and NTSC compatible
-12V DC input (power supply NOT included)
