Vidiot

Vidiot is the first standalone video synthesis instrument from LZX Industries, designed in collaboration with video synthesis pioneer Dan Bucciano. Capable of analog shape and pattern generation, external video processing, colorization, audiovisualization, keying, and much more.

It contain 2 analog discrete-core VCOs, one dedicated to horizontal pattern elements, and the other dedicated to vertical pattern elements. 3 waveshapes from each oscillator: Sine, Triangle and Square. Dedicated sync inputs and bypass switches. Noise output includes ultra-wide spectrum white noise for television static and snow effects. Process the grayscale range of external video or internally generated patterns, with dedicated voltaged controlled sections for Brightness, Contrast and Detail. Keyer controlled functions include negative and solarize effects. Dedicated video output.

Vidiot is fully compatible with all existing LZX EuroRack video synth modules. Like our modules, any audio or control voltage source can be patched to any of its 13 patch inputs.

Dual 8 position rotary switches select modulation sources for the Luminance Processor and Colorizer, enabling quick access to most of the instrument’s features without patch cables.
