Processing video through analog synths


Recommended Posts

Nope, but I accidentally connected the video out of my VCR/XBOX (can't remember which) into the audio input on my TV.

 

For a moment there, I could hear perfect Chroma Blue.

 

 

Forever,

I tried running video from and XL1S through some stomp boxes once (delay and distortion). It didn't work. Nothing happened - no signal at all.

 

I wonder if you could somehow 'pitch-shift 'the signal low enough that it would work with audio gear, or if it's just not the right type of signal at all?

What if one turned all the modulation/filtering off and just let the signal pass through? Then one could module the frequencies that are used to carry certain aspects of analog tv, like vertical scan, etc. I could be wrong, but that's in the Khz range, IIRC, so with bandpass filters, one should be able to target just that area.

 

Fun idea, nevertheless! :D

If you have something that plays digital video (like a DV camescope) or some videos on your hard disk, the way to go for setting up an interaction between image and sound is to use Pure Data/GEM or Max/MSP/Jitter

 

btw, 1000th post today ... quite frightening actually

Very fitting that you mention pur data and max/msp on your 1000th post ;)

only pure chance here

 

and actually, I use Max/MSP very few, I prefer Pure Data because it's more stable for live concerts (and I have some problems with FFT processes under MSP)

also, Pd works on Linux, on which I have a latency of 2.9 ms
