Members eric CRAPton Posted April 20, 2004 Members Share Posted April 20, 2004 Anyone here ever tried feeding an analog video signal through a analog(modular) synth then into a TV? I think this is basically what video synths are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fqr Posted April 20, 2004 Members Share Posted April 20, 2004 Video signals are of a completely different nature than audio signals.Audio: continuous signal from 20 to 20000 HzVideo: video signal: up to 5000000 Hz, mixed with colour modulation, line and frame synchro's.No chance to get this processed by an audio system.

Members ornis Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 As far as I remember, someone was recently selling analog record players and lp format disks, which supported video signal. The resolution and framerate were expectedly horrible, and the idea was mostly to cater entrenched analog freaks. /o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 20 to 20000 Hz was just the limits of what was considered audible, not the limits of analog audio. If it's not possible for video to be processed by an audio system why did EMS Synthesizers and others build these?http://www.audiovisualizers.com/toolshak/vidsynth/spectre/spectre.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a softsynth that does this, does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scubyfan Posted April 22, 2004 Members Share Posted April 22, 2004 And I thought one needed acid for such effects! There are more synths on its main site, http://www.audiovisualizers.com/toolshak/vsynths.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boom Posted April 22, 2004 Members Share Posted April 22, 2004 I can't imagine a cooler toy for somebody on acid than a visual synth. Sound and sight are so similar on hallucinogens. Check this out, old school virtual reality! http://www.audiovisualizers.com/toolshak/vidsynth/animac/harn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
