my new favourite video synth

No joke.

The Sleepy Circuits Hypno is an awesome self containted video art synth and fx processor. @SleepyCircuits.

I post all of the music I make, including WAV stems; sample packs; Dirtywave M8 song bundles; collections of video textures; early access to videos; and a whole pile of other stuff on Patreon. I know I know, I hate doing this as well, but if you like what I do and want to get more of it, while also helping me offset some of my ludicrous gear purchases, this is the best place to do it:

and a whole pile of other stuff...

Get in touch for possible collabs/offers of large sums of money, etc: allmyfas at gmail

i'm an artist, and my mind is blowing right now! a new art medium i've never heard of! what *is* this?!?!?!

[variousdispositions]

You have almost single-handedly pulled me into the video synthesis rabbit hole. Great video sir!

This feels like the first real eurorack video gear review to me which ive been patiently waiting for. I hope there are many more to follow from you and lots of others follow in your footsteps.

Gosh darn you. I had never encountered the idea of video synthesis before and now I want. As I always say, "It ain't the heat. It's the cupidity."

The video synth looked pretty interesting. Your jumper on the other hand is fantastic.

GO FULL yourself a kaleidoscope, a camera (small enough to see into the kaleidoscope) and a servo ( to rotate the kaleidoscope midi to the servo and BOOM!! real analog effects

Self contained?! MIDI control?! 🤯 Thanks for making this man, this thing is awesome, so many possibilities! 😎🐀

[dillipphunbar]

Fantastic bit o kit, and the pairing with the M8 is super slick and powerful.

Fantastic overview! I just purchased a Hypno and am just getting into video synthesis after being into audio synths for "a while" :) Love your look BTW <3 Have a FABULOUS 2024!

I've been thinking about gifting myself one of these for quite some time, and really appreciated hearing your thoughts on it. Especially hearing that it is a good, self-contained, and capable package for trying out video synthesis focused on live performance, which is what I want. So yeah, thanks a lot!
Also watching your closet organ tour series after hearing you on the almost viral podcast, and what a treat that is!
Would also be interested to see how you've set up the korg nanokontrol as a midi controller for video.

I’ve been wanting to get into video synthesis for a while but have no idea where to start. This is dope

[midimarksounds]

YESSSS I use my hypno all the time it's truly my favorite pi-based video synth ! Rlly shines when u can get it thru an old mixer or a glitcher ! Hmmm u could add a little gieskes schele mixer to that lil setup for portable glitch !

OH also u should checkout the creative cauldron mainbow eurorack viz synth ! I rlly want one but can't swing it rn and I bet you'd love it.

[offworldsynths]

Weird and wonderful...and thats just yer jumper! Great video!!!

[Dogboy]

Thinking of getting a Hypno. It’s about $1000 with the currency conversation here in Aus. I might look into the DIY Pi option.

[Aisjam]

0:28 nice :). That are some cool visuals.

[trolling]

just got one, looking forward to play with it

[Subtronik]

Still using Milkdrop 3.2 here. Looks amazing with very little CPU usage. Also trying out Resolume, which makes everything else look like child’s play.

Thanks for the informative video. Hypno looks like a more powerful tool than I assumed. Have you played with a Structure yet?
