Building and playing with Analog Video Synths.

Description

This is split into 2 parts.

  1. I have a mainbow video synthesizer kit, it is partly soldered I'd like to finish it and play with it.
  2. I have an RGB -> Composite Converter + Composite -> RGB Converter, It'd be fun to convert this setup into a Video synth by feeding signals into the RGB lines.

Goals

  1. Finish the Mainbow and stream something fun with it.

  2. One of the converters has a memory chip, some fun effects can be made by symaltaniously shorting some of the pins. a. This will require soldering a wire to each pin on the memory chip then having a way to short them together.

  3. Adding pots to the rgb pins to control the color levels + adding a 1v source to manually set colors.

  4. Add audio / CV Reactiveness to this circuit.

      I built a video synth from a kit this time, it took an extra few days until I could play with it completely but here is the first result Video
