My DIY Modular Video Synthesizer // Overview video, demo

Finally - after stopping work on this thing last December I’ve finally got a video about it to share.

Via the youtube description:

“Been a long time coming! Happy to finally get a basic demo together for this build I made over the course of a few months last year. Hope you enjoy! Might make more videos or stream about this thing in the future to explore some of the things I glossed over and show some other things it can do.”

More info about the build can be found here

Beginning the Gleix Video Modular

After building the VGS-35, VGS-FB, and eventually the 100PFB, I realized that I wanted to do a more fully-formed video synthesizer for myself.

I went back and forth on layout designs, enclosures, what to include, how to include it, and ultimately realized that the project was continuously expanding in scope as I learned more and more. I was removing features based on the size of the enclosures I could find, and limiting the functionality as a result.

So, after realizing that I don’t want to limit myself, and I want to be able to expand my video synth as I continue to learn, I’ve decided to go the modular route.

Panel Progress

I’ve been working first on designing a layout and building a few panels. None of these are functional yet, except for the LFO which I built based on Niklas Ronnberg’s design as I needed a module for testing purposes.

As things develop I hope to build out a dedicated spot in the Devices section for these modules so I can document their development and share resources.
