AVE MOD V2
This circuit is one the first I experimented with. After modifying a few video devices, I wanted to work on a little standalone glitch circuit, this is where the search for video schematic started.
I started taking interest in electronic with audio, so I was quite used to find information about guitar pedals, synthesizers, studio gear, but there’s much less about analog video on the internet.
However I found this circuit traced by Philip Baljeu from an Archer Video Enhancer/Sound Mixer and posted on the electro-music forum.
Here’s the result, it adds 5 potentiometer, 4 switches and audioreactivity so the circuit can react with an external audio signal.
The circuit is PAL/NTSC compatible, it’s powered by either a 9V battery or a 9V DC power supply and works best with a CRT TV. US PSU
Circuit boards, kits and assembled circuits are now available through the store of the website.

Combines is now available, it is in stock and ready to ship on Syntonie website, and some units will be on their way to retailers soon! Demo video is up on Youtube (link in bio)
Combines is a triple analog combiner, aimed at combining two signals in various ways.
Each of the three channels features:
- AVG: average of the two inputs, (A+B)/2
- DIFF: difference of the two inputs, ((A-B)/2)+0.5)
- MIN: minimum of the two inputs, min(A, B)
- MAX: maximum of the two inputs, max(A, B)
- XOR: absolute of the difference of the two inputs, abs(A-B)
- MIX: mix of three of the above, scaled to 1V, different on each of the three channels
CH1: (AVG+DIFF+MIN)/3
CH2: (AVG+MIN+XOR)/3
CH3: (AVG+DIFF+XOR)/3
As the front panel suggests, Combines can be used to combine a horizontal and vertical triangle signals (like rectified ramps or oscillators), resulting in 2D shapes, represented on the outputs. Of course, the inputs are not limited to triangle waves, as any signals can be combined together, such as different wave shapes, as well as 2D shapes to create even more complex shapes or an external video signal.
It features 3 channels to allow for RGB processing, however the channels can be chained together as well, increasing the complexity of the resulting output.
Specs:
- 8HP
- 125mA +12V
- 0mA -12V
- 0mA +5V
- 42mm deep

Music Video for Miss Messy🍱🌮Midnight Nachos🌮🍱! Are you hungry for love, for beans? Well this is the jam for you! Made using equipment found under mother’s bed. Thank you to my neighbors madonno_productions for production assistance and bail. #modelsamples passed through guitar pedals made the majority of this song. Vocals recorded via an electric kazoo and a PO-33. Guitar and nachos by jyondarisu 🥘video effects using #waaave_pool video_synthesis_ecosphere and #avemod and an old video mixer plus VHS 🔊

Matrice is now available, it is in stock and ready to ship on Syntonie website, and some units will be on their way to retailers soon! Demo video is up on Youtube (link in bio)
Matrice is a 1x3 matrix mixer with its outputs normalized to three VCAs.
Used in a RGB processing context, just before the RGB encoder, the matrix section allows to reach a great variety of color palettes, especially when using matte/keyed shapes or posterizing.
The VCAs essentially works as a fade to black, allowing to tame the colors, which is especially useful after the matrix, since it can outputs signals up to 3V, as well as inverting them, that can result in a really bright composition.
Specs:
- 16HP
- 310mA +12V
- 0mA -12V
- 0mA +5V
- 42mm deep

Another quick patch with a similar setup as the previous video, but with ramps and 2D shapes from Rampes instead of an external video signal through Entrée. Recorded in 720p60.
Matrice is available as a pre-order on Syntonie website.

Synthesis patch made with Rampes, Combines, Seuils, Matrice and Sortie.
Various ramps, mirrored ramps and 2D shapes from Rampes are combined together using the three channels of Combines, outputs of Combines going to Seuils signal inputs and CV inputs to generate hard shapes/mattes, which are later processed through Matrice for color tuning using its matrix mixer, and its triple VCA to cut through the colors/creating negative space, finally outputs of Matrice are encoded with Sortie in 720p60.

While I enjoy patching synthesis in 720p60 for the increased resolution and frame rate in comparison to SD (PAL/NTSC), a good in between is ED (for enhanced definition), here 576p50.
It keeps the SD resolution and look, with those nice jagged/aliased edges, while benefiting from being progressive rather than interlaced, giving that smooth motion without requiring deinterlacing.
However, not a lot of devices can support ED standards, here a Retrotink 5X is used to convert Component 576p50 to HDMI 1080p50 for capture.
Modules used are Rampes, Animate, Seuils, Isohélie, and a couple work in progress 😉
