Circuit Bent Camera - Pocket Glitchamatic demo

video upload by LoFiFuture

"The Pocket Glitchamatic is available to pre-order for one last time here! https://lofifutureshop.square.site/pr...

Since this is the last batch I'll be making of this design I thought I'd put together another collection of footage from the camera, this time footage filmed out of a train window. It was filmed in the cameras 640x480 VGA resolution which I think looks quite nice!

The LoFi Future Pocket Glitchamatic is a re-housed circuit bent camera based on a currently produced generic branded 5MP digital camera (capable of recording 720p AVI video files)

The circuit bends are brought out onto the new front panel in for form of six push buttons (5 latching one momentary for the GLITCH! function)

The Effects...
The pair of latching buttons labelled NEON result in a pink and green colour pallet that capture bright scenes in a surreal light. One of these buttons turns the effect on and off, while the other switches between two effect types. The dual-coloured led signifies the selected mode by either shining green, or red and will not illuminate when the effect is turned off.

The other pair latching buttons labelled BANDING create banding effects across the image. There are two types of banding and can both be selected at once. The bi colour LED here shines red for one mode, green for the other and orange when both are selected at once.

The latching button labelled NOISE introduces a cool lofi, grainy noise with a blue/purple hue. The single colour LED signifies when this effect is on or off.

All of the effects mentioned above reliably produce valid video files and pictures just like it was originally intended with the unmodified camera.

The GLITCH! button however creates unexpected, heavy glitches that veer into the unstable and experimental. It is a momentary button for this reason. In video mode it produces major frame drops in the recorded footage (you wont see this apparent on screen at the time of recording) Used sparingly in video mode, it can produce some great corruption effects. but go to heavy with it and it will spit out an unplayable video file!

In photo mode the GLITCH! button is a much more usable tool, though it sometimes will create a corrupt image file, it has a much better success rate in creating glitch imagery you could never have imagined! Its a truly experimental effect for the adventurous artist willing to accept the odd corrupt file for some heavy glitch gold!

Specifications:
Video: AVI (1280 x 720 or 640 x 480 resolution)
Photo: JPEG (2592 x 1944 or 2048 x 1536 resolution)
USB web cam mode resolution up to 640 x 480
Internal rechargeable battery life (3+ hours of use on a single charge, or can be powered externally via USB)

"Available to order: https://www.lofifuture.com/storefac96...

During packing / shipping of the first batch of these modules, it dawned on me, I haven't made a demo video for it yet!

The T-420 video processor finally gets its Eurorack transformation! Coming in at 4HP and just 23mm deep it is compact to fit into even the shallowest of skiffs.


The three knobs work in conjunction with each other so many effects are possible ranging from frame tearing glitches to bright rainbow colourize effects as well as invert/negative effects. Check out the demo video / pictures for some examples.

Great for processing clean composite signals to add some, or a lot of glitch and grit. It does wonderful stuff in feedback loops too!

This unit works and looks its absolute best when plugged directly into a CRT TV, but it will work with LCD TVs & Projectors and only tends to drop out (lose signal) when the first knob is near its maximum setting. Also works well in bigger video rigs with video mixers/ TBCs etc.

NTSC/PAL Compatible
Weight - 90 Grams
Dimensions - 4HP / 23mm Deep
Power - Uses 12V rail / 210mA max power consumption"

Analog Video Glitch Processor T-420SE by LoFi Future

LoFi Future T-420SE - analog video effect processor

The T-420SE Is a variation of the original T-420 circuit, providing a new palette of hyper neon glitch FX in the same compact form factor as our other models.

After much experimentation and fine tuning, the result is a glitch processor that is great at pushing video signals to the extreme without things getting out of hand. It retains bright vivid colour at its most intense moments whereas effects such as this usually result in complete chrominance (colour dropout)

The T-420SE also features a true bypass toggle switch on the rear. When bypassed the video signal makes a straight pass through the input to the output meaning you can leave it in your signal chain and it wont degrade your signal in any way. This feature goes a long way in complex chains and feedback setups!

It's definitely recommended that you use the T-420SE with a CRT, TBC or Video mixer (with a built in TBC) But it will work with a conventional LCD tv or a cheep composite to AV converter. It follows the same rule as the other T-420 models where as it only tends to drop out (lose signal) when the first knob is past 12 o'clock.


100% original analog circuit design, designed from the ground up for its very purpose!

"An overview of what is probably my most involved build to date. This one admittedly took way longer than it should have and was an insane amount of effort but it was so worth it!"

i quite like this one

video upload by allmyfriendsaresynths

"A track I wrote on the Dirtywave M8. Audio is straight out of the wee beauty - no extra processing. The video was put together with footage that I ran through the MisMatcher Rev 01, and then re-scanned off of some CRT I have. I love how the M8 takes me in such wildly different directions, or at least, it allows me to go so many different ways when making music. I had feared it might just end up being a kind of tarted up LSDJ, but it is far, far more than that. Thanks for taking a listen."

CIRCUIT BENT PS2 - LSD: Dream Emulator / B.L.U.E. / GTA VC - Soft Modded, Internal SSD (FMCB)

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Taking on a limited number of these circuit bent PS2s for 2022! https://www.lofifuture.com/storefac96...

And for all the DIYers out there, I'm currently editing the tutorial one how to circuit bend your own PlayStation 2!

This modification starts with a full disassembly and deep clean of the PS2, the optical drive is removed in favour of an internal HDD and a memory card running Free McBoot. (Free McBoot is a custom firmware that runs on a memory card that resides in memory card slot two of the console. It introduces various features to the PS2, the main one being the ability to run game backup ISOs from an internal HDD, via ethernet or from a USB pen drive)

Once the optical drive is removed 23 toggle switches are mounted on the top of the console to control the circuit bends a long with a RCA video out and 3.5mm stereo audio out omitting the need for the original Sony AV cable. 14 of the toggle switches are wired into the traces between the Emotion Engine (EE) and Graphics Synthesizer (GS) chips on the PlayStation motherboard. These corrupt the 3D data running into the GS before they are sent to the video output encoder.

9 of the toggle switches are wired into the Sound Processing Unit (SPU) RAM for some circuit bent audio effects. all 23 of these switches are wired to the same "bend bus" meaning that when two or more switches are in the "on" position they are connected together. Connecting the audio data bends to video data bends results in chaotic and mesmerising cross modulation.

Every game is effected differently by the toggle switches. Some are easy to crash with certain switches. Some games will take everything you throw at it and then some! It all depends on how the game you are trying to glitch out was programmed and how it utilises the hardware we are mercilessly forcing into a corrupted state. It helps to make a "switch map" for any game that like to crash when things get to glitchy, this was you can easily rule out what does and does not work for a particular game.

For example, running the PS1 copy of LSD: Dream Emulator produces some incredible effects but likes to crash when I flick one particular section of switches into action. On the other hand, GTA: Vice city will run with every single toggle switch on and revert back to completely normal visuals.

Includes:

-Circuit Bent PS2 Console (PAL or NTSC, select from the dropdown)

- Aftermarket PS2 controller

-Internal 120GB HDD + Network/HDD card"

LoFi Future - Circuit Bent CCTV Camera - Model: Nicecam DCV-933

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order: https://lofi-future.square.site/produ...

Limited run of two, here is a nice demo of another model of circuit bent camera!

Modified with one knob and two toggle switches, this camera is capable of the usual melty CCD sensor effects, but also has a really cool effect I have found unique to this CCD camera.

The knob controls two different vertical blur types (the effect is off in the middle.

One of the toggle switches enables another, more intense yet smooth blur effect.

The Other toggle switch enables a glitchy negative stripe / repeat effect by tapping into an unutilised 8 bit video stream on the cameras CCD sensor controller / image processor chip.
-
Just this camera, a capture card and a laptop makes a great audio reactive glitch art setup. You can simply rescan your LCD monitor with the camera to process any footage you want in post!

There is no need for a TBC, Video mixer or CRT TV when using this camera as it always puts out a valid composite video signal no matter how glitchy it gets. This means it will work with LCD TVs and even the pickiest capture cards

Specifications:

-12V DC 1A power supply input (PSU not included)

-PAL composite video output

-12 mm lens with manual focus included"

Circuit Bent Glitch Art Camera - LoFi Future Pocket Glitchamatic - Demo Footage

VGA Feedback Video Synth / Audio Visualizer - LoFi Future FB-200

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofi-future.square.site/produ...

The FB-200 is an overall improvement to the previous version of this device, the FB-100.

Keeping the same enclosure and similar basic specs this particular unit features a much more thought out signal path resulting in a more intuitive machine. The composite video processing and control circuitry is exactly the same as the FB-1000, but with just 1 LFO that can be assigned to any colour instead of 3 independent LFOs as featured on the FB-1000.

The 3 RGB pots are backlit with the corresponding colour LED. These LEDs vary in brightness depending on how high or low that knob is set and also visualises the LFO speed when the LFO is assigned to it.

The toggle switch for each channel enables that channels audio input. The FB-200 features 3 independent audio inputs that allow you to visualise more than one audio element. These are not raw audio inputs, instead it uses a switching circuit that senses peaks in the audio and sends that channel to ground briefly. This results in the familiar horizontal lines but instead of behind red, green or blue lines, the lines are the sum of the other two colours resulting in a more complex colour pallet.

The LFO section is a sine / square LFO capable of really slow frequencies or audio range frequencies (selectable via toggle switch) 3 push buttons allow the LFO to be assigned to any of the RGB channels. When the audio rate is selected it results in scanlines that can be controlled and brought into harmony with the videos scan frequency, creating slowly moving horizontal lines.

The composite video modifier is essentially a hue and contrast control rolled into one. Its is a circuit that has been specifically designed for the purpose of creating more controllable feedback loops with the dual VGA scan converter / scaler setup. Turning the knob clockwise instantly causes intense colour separation between the red, green and blue channels in the feedback loop, preventing a single colour simply washing out the screen. A toggle switch acts as a colour boost causing the feedback to become overly intense and with the flip of a switch it is instantly back in your control."
