I acquired a Sansui VX-99 (NTSC) video mixer a while back. It didn’t seem to be fully working when I got it. Which is fine, it was in an “as-is” pile. I was just hoping to be able to use it to add some extra static and noise to live footage for visuals if nothing else. After opening it up to fix a broken fader with some hot glue, I still couldn’t get both channels of video to display at the same time. I eventually figured out that in order to mix the two video sources, you have to press the “gen-lock mix” button. After doing this, the mixer mostly works. I still have yet to figure out how to get the thing to display any changes when you press on the RGB color buttons. I’m assuming that these allow you to fade to a color instead of black, which I wouldn’t usually want, but could be interesting if you were doing some sort of video feedback.

This year I will be one of the visual army of the Decibel Festival (dbFestival).
Come watch and listen at Chop Suey. Yuba Foxfire and myself will be providing visual embellishment for the bands at this venue who come without visuals of their own. The dbFestival schedule is being finalized as this is written.

A little playing in Gleetchlab
A lot of the samples in this are recorded from my 1975 Moog Minimoog. The cars have nothing to do with the audio, but they just might be in the same color scheme.
