I do not instagraph or gram, either. Have a you’s toob instead:

I used the city birds pack; at one point you’ll catch a glimpse of a birb or twelve.

Messing with a “Talking Drum” preset on my Roland hand drum, sequenced with an Arturia BSP. Tempo sent to my Subharmonicon, and the sequence on that machine sent to some other stuff… and into Hypno.

I keep trying to take something “longer exposure” sort of, but it winds up meandering and being fun to turn knobs as only modular can, not necessarily for audience, and it loses the focus on what I’m trying to do (which is submit to video challenge)…

Submission to the comp, want to share here as well as a log and place for feedback + questions from the community!

*not sure how to embed videos in the forum post!

Got the hypno a few days ago, and instant satisfaction. After a couple days of noodling, wanted to try and get something together for the video comp pack. Here I am using the Refraction pack on input 1 and square shape on input 2.

Using ableton + roland UM-one to send a ton of midi CC automation at the hypno, and its handled it super well! Also using ES8 to send CV directly over for kick to shape. Tribute to an influence of mine (DR DERG), where the audio is sauce from. Couple glitches in the video recording, but overall happy with the ouput, and how user friendly the hypno is!

Hey sleepy-heads, my video was too long for IG. Loving the hypno, and seeing everyone’s work. Here’s my contribution to the contest. This is a bunch of super8mm footage I shot, layered with video packs “de-synced” and “moving inward” ran through the hypno 3 times. https://youtu.be/cntpsu5Vyms
