Introducing the Entropy & Sons Recursion Studio - a brand new video synthesizer ripped straight out of the time stream. It's a standalone device which generates gorgeous real-time HD visuals using methods not invented for centuries.
This device has so little in common with contemporary video synths calling it one might even be libel - it's a full fledged standalone video art studio.
This device is a highly sophisticated semi-modular instrument, with a level of complexity closer to what you would expect in a software application. The manual is 80 pages long.
Unmatched customization and interoperability, an onboard library/patch management system, and the ability to update the software with a single click put this hardware in a category strictly of it's own.
And on top of that, it is not even a single instrument. It is a platform which comes with 6 distinct & highly configurable visual 'instruments', with several more in active development.
Features:
- There are 5 clickable encoders & 5 drum-style pads completely re-mappable to any of dozens of parameters in a variety of ways with the sophisticated onboard I/O mapping editor.
- It has 8 Eurorack-style CV inputs (0-10V) and interfaces with MIDI controllers over USB or using the 5-pin DIN jacks.
- It can take video input from standard USB cameras and comes with an adapter for ingestion of arbitrary HDMI video streams. Video file & NDI support coming soon.
- It has a dedicated audio rate 1/8" line level input, and runs advanced waveform analysis & beat detection algorithms on your music.
- And it also has WIFI for sharing presets with other users(coming soon) and easily connecting to our servers in the year 27,437 for a continuous stream of future content, updates, and fixes
