Description
Triple, 2-way mixer, allowing to sum two 0-1V signals into one 0-1V output.
Can be used as 3 independant 2-way mixers to create shapes out of H and V signals, or as a 4-input mixer by means of jack normalisation (output of the first mixer is mixed with the second one, output of the second one mixed with the third one).
PCB Set: includes Main/Control/Panel PCBs.

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

It`s been a while since I`ve posted which is silly of me because I was creating but various things were happening & required time, energy & attention.
Regardless, here`s a couple of 1 min vids making use of the Visible Signals #ONEofFOUR & two #GainBrain modules. But what has really made my day is getting to use the soon-to-be-released #SYNTONIE #VU009 VCO & the #VU010 Mixer & both play their parts in this patch. As do the lzxindustries #LZXDoorway, #LZXStaircase, #LZXnavigator, #LZXvisualCortex, 2x #CastleVCO & the #LZXcadetVCO. Not to forget a very useful triple LFO module from Martijn at the #ReverseLandfill HQ.
Any questions about the patch, please ask in the comments below.

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

Three new video synth modules from the excellent Syntonie are now available!
- VU008 is a dual ramp phase shifter, based on B. Hutchins Multiphase Waveform Animator.
It phase shifts ramp waveforms, which result in an horizontal/vertical displacement of the ramp and will waveshape other periodic waveforms.
Interesting to add animation to ramp based shape generation by means of slow modulation of the shift, audio/video rate modulation results in complex patterns generation.
- VU009 is a video rate sawtooth oscillator, based on P. Baljeu Castle VCO and T. Henry X4046 VCO. It features FM input and voltage offset of the output waveform.
Comes in two versions: 14pin sync and RCA sync by the means of two different power/sync boards.
- VU010 is a triple 2:1 mixer, each mixer sums two 1V signals into another 1V signal. Useful for H and V mixing or to mix two RGB triplets.
1st mixer output is normalised to 2nd mixer input, 2nd mixer output normalised to 3rd mixer input, allowing to sum 4 signals with different weigthing of each signal (since each mixer divide the signals by 2 in order to produce a 1V output).
By plugging a single signal to the input of the 1st mixer, output of the 1st mixer will produce a copy of the signal divided by 2, 2nd mixer output divided by 4 and 3rd mixer output divided by 8.
Thanks again to Lorenzo Ferronato / loobabalooba for the amazing documentation design!!
Documentation is up on Github, and demo video for VU008/VU009 uploaded to Youtube, as well as a demo of how to use CBV and VU together, while waiting for a sync generator/encoder solution to be available.

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.

Time for me to go AFK for the next weeks, orders made in the meantime will ship on August 24th.
Can’t be thankful enough to all video artists and retailers who make all this possible! 🙏

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.

Wishing you happy holidays! As always, thanks for your support, constantly amazed by all the creations you all make with our gear!
Orders will resume shipping on January 3rd.
Will write a proper update post once I`m back from holiday, mostly about the soon to be released VU modules, and other things coming next.
In the meantime, here`s a patch I made while recording the demo video on how to use VU with CBV.
Video source is an AI generated face thanks to thispersondoesnotexist.com, it is then processed through CBV002->CBV001.
On the modulation side, VU003 is used to extract luminance from the video signal and used to modulate CBV001 enhance level. Then, a pattern is generated using 2x VU009 (sawtooth oscillators), which are phase shifted with VU008 (dual ramp shifters), itself modulated by VU006 to make a circular movement. It is then doubled with VU002 and mixed with VU010 (triple 2:1 mixer) to make those moving diamonds shape, which are used to modulate CBV002 delay/hue shift. Finally, using CBV002 luminance key feature to key between original and hue shifted video.
Recorded in NTSC using BM Intensity and upscaled to 4K in software (in order to mitigate IG/FB compression algorithm).
Enjoy the holidays and see you next year!

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 😉

Recorded a demo video to show how to use VU and CBV modules in a system without a sync generator/RGB encoder. Until now, only VU001/VU002/VU003 were useful in such a setup. The only missing ingredient was an oscillator that can be synced through RCA, which makes other modules from the VU serie relevant for pattern generation, used to modulate CBV001/CBV002 CV inputs here. Full length video and more information on the new VU modules soon.
