TRQ
TRQ: Composite video color inverter
The circuit is based on the “Truqueur” by Hervé Cadinot, published in “Montage électroniques pour vidéo” in 1994. It can invert the content of a composite video signal, and wipe between original and inverted video, with gain control on original and inverted signal.

It’s interesting to note that the design seems quite inspired of the “Video Colour Inverter”, published in Elektor Magazine November 1984.
TRQ V2 adds a second wipe, with a CV/audio input so the wipe can be controlled with an external signal. This signal can be processed using the internal sample and hold (based on René Schmitz YASH).
TRQ produces various glitch effects, with bright colors. A rotary switch can select between 8 effect intensity, and a potentiometer attenuate this effect.
The project is now available through the shop, either assembled, in kit or pcbs only.

#truqueur on Instagram 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. Mar 2 Synthesis patch made with Rampes, Combines, Seuils, Matrice and Sortie. Feb 25 TEIGNEUX vs PAS COMMODE Mar 24 Building the TRQ video effects module from htp.syntonie was a learning experience and an adventure. Due to the vintage of the design and the global chip shortage, I spent two months just sourcing the parts for it. Two days soldering, and half a day of troubleshooting/debugging to get it working. Then, a walk down to controlvoltage to grab a Bastl Kastl for some 5v CV in, et voila! Feb 27 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.

Matrice is available as a pre-order on Syntonie website.

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.

Along the way I learned how to use a multimeter, that an on-off-(on) switch is a poor substitute for on-on, and to be a little more confident in my electronics knowledge.

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 😉

This track`s name is "Elapse", and you`ll find it in the complete LP which is going to be released by craigieknowes label on 8/04.
So glad to have received this opportunity! - The video was made completely by me, mixing usage of analog and digital circuitry, new and old, using it as it properly should be used or using exactly some of its malfunctioning.
Big thanks goes also to Bastien Lavaud holographic_thought_process , which let me build an early prototype of a Composite video distortion/ color inversion unit: The Truqueur, and you`ll be finding it as a kit soon on www.syntonie.fr .
A point of View about these sounds, if you will -
Enjoy the view/sound 😀
