Awesome! & cool to see the quad invertor in there :+1:t3:
I seriously doubt Bastien thinks he has a patent or worldwide exclusive on such a standard synth circuit as a quad invertor. But reach out to him to get his encouragement or blessing.

I would def be interested in purchasing a pre-built!

That’s the plan! The 3 selector inputs are video rate too, but the vc input will switch to the threshold pot and connects to the other input of the comparators.

Plugging in two video signals will compare contrast of the two. In fact plugging in a different video source to all four inputs (vc and selects) could prove to be even more wild!

We’ll find out what happens soon.

That’s quite similar to what I told @rempesm when we were talking about YC/YPbPr distribution amps, VU designs are really simple and it would be a bit bold of me to want to keep some weird exclusivity on it, they’re just basic electronic building blocks with the right IO impedance/bandwidth for video :slight_smile:

The perfect answer :star_struck:

To second Fox’s response, here’s one of the first patches after I built up the latest rev:

This is using the same default MemPal rose animation just processed two different ways into the RGB inputs of Ch. A & B. The Y from one still (the one making the trails) goes into the VC Threshold input. I’m using a modulated Prismatic Ray into the R Switch input (nothing plugged into G or B Switch inputs). The modulation into Prismatic Ray is a mish mash of the Y from the second still, Diver, and an LFO. Probably some other stuff I forgot but the compositing is all Shutter.

And here’s what it looks like atm:

Cheers for posting the video & photo @rempesm :+1:t3:
They both look great :star_struck:

Here’s a couple of screenshot grabs mashed together. I’m 100% speculating but its nice to see see the improvement in panel layout mirrored symmetry that might of come about because of the VC input’s addition. Good work @Fox & Shutter is a cool name for it, I haven’t seen or read that until now if I’m not mistaken. It’s early here, time for coffee :coffee:

Hey Fox,

I just found out about you. You’re amazing. Do you have a website or a price list for your modules? I’m dying to get Doorway, Prismatic Ray, Color Chords, Mapper and basically everything :joy:

I don’t have a site yet, but I’ll PM you with what I have available.
I don’t make any of those you listed unfortunately.

Here’s part 3, final installment of the trilogy. It’s the shortest at 73 seconds and definitely the best imo. Hope some of ye enjoy it :slight_smile:

Here’s a playlist of 4 videos using a Cadet VCO, Ramp outputs, Staircase, Doorway, VSig GainBrain & the all important Shutter & Castle 101 Quad-Gate. No DVDs, only Waveforms :wink:
Enjoy :star_struck:

Thanks for saying so Fox :slight_smile:
I’m enjoying making this crappy looking lofi DIY videos :wink:
I’ll take it up a level soon but I’m having fun making more patches. I’ll post to Instagram where it seems more eyes find video like this much quicker than YT.
