Memory Palace

Invoking the lineage of computer video instruments from the 1980s and 1990s, the Orion Series Memory Palace introduces digital video transformations and frame buffer memory to the LZX video synthesis landscape.

An HSV proc amp, multi-mode soft key generator, variable frame delay, 2D transformation engine and flexible compositing pathways provide a workflow designed for a wide range of video feedback techniques. The perfect post-processor for your analog textures.

Not just just a computer hiding behind the control panel. Dedicated FPGA blocks provide hardware acceleration for powerful real time video processing. Flexible video outputs include Composite, S-Video, Component YPbPr, Component RGB, and DVI-D connections.

Performance Focused Controls

13 voltage controlled parameters with CV input attenuators and high quality faders for accurate positioning and smooth transitions. 15 broadcast-style illuminated pushbutton controls for satisfying button mashing.

In Frame Buffer Feedback Mode, spatial effects are placed in the feedback path between the keyer and frame buffer memory. The video feed is mapped and multiplied across space and time into endless universes of recursive transformation.

Memory Palace’s Painting Mode allows you to draw onto the digital memory canvas using external shapes, patterns or even video sources as your paintbrush. Designed for use with the LZX Escher Sketch stylus pad controller or any voltage control source that generates XY voltages.

Spatial Processor Functions

Memory Palace’s spatial processor is modeled after classic broadcast Digital Video Effects (DVE) processors from the 1980’s and 1990’s. The spatial processor uses digital frame memory to reinterpret the input image, adjusting its positioning, size, aspect ratio, and rotation angle in a nonlinear fashion.
