Seizure warning!

Earlier this year a friend of mine rented an analog video synth. A group of us sat in his basement while he projected weird visuals onto the wall — plugging in and unplugging patch cables, twisting knobs, and feeding in VHS source videos. It was mesmerizing.

Pixel Synth is a tiny, web-based alternative by Donald Hanson and is almost as mesmerizing. It’s also neat that you can control it with a midi device, thanks to the Web Midi API and WebMidi.js.
