Thanks for the update. So excited to see how it progresses! All the best for the rest of the project.
I've been using Terasic DE10-Nano with FPGA game emulation system. I think it's triple the price compared to QMTECH board but it has bunch of helpful extra stuff.
What do you mean “Fpga emulation system”? Like Verilator or a co-simulation? I looked at the intell stuff a bit in the past, but for some reason Quartus feels clunky. Maybe it’s gotten better in recent years. Has it?
The project I'm using is named "MiSTer FPGA".
Oh i see what you mean, I thought you were emulating the fpga.
2cents: JTAG is perfectly acceptable for such a hyperniche project. Panasonic never gave firmware updates on our mixers and subsequently we just get on and abuse them.
Naw, im just one person, i feel like i want people to have the ability to easily update the system without having to get a jtag dongle and download a bunch of software. People dont want to go to all that effort
Awesome design. I'll have to keep that in the back of my mind for future projects. I think reed switches would also have good potential for some kind of patch matrix design.
oh yeah and then the pins have tiny magnets on them/ are magnetised. I like that that has no necessary contact to make it work
Looks great - I followed the link and bought it but instead of 31 videos and 36 images I got 16 images. Nice images but still a bit irritating. What could have gone wrong?
Did you get a text file as well with a link in it? Etsy only lets you sell digital assets upto 20mb, and this is around 2gb in size.
If you didn’t get the txt file with the link contact me on etsy so i can follow it up. 😊
@@catfullofghosts4478 Oh, yes, you are right. I rarely look into text files. Got everything now and like it - Thanx! 🍀

Excellent video pack 🎉 !!! Used some of the clips at my last gig and processed it through a ton of effects and they looked amazing in real life. 100 out of 10 stars ⭐️ 🌠 💫
AWWWW THATS SO COOL!!!! got any videos from the gig?
Looking noice man - still trying to figure out how to get the most out of my feedback machine, is there a guide per chance?
which feedback machine are you talking about?

looks great! 💥
Dope trailer but the Etsy link isn't working for me. (it has /me/ in the url and I think that won't work for anyone but you?).
yeah... my bad i copied the listing link instead of the actually public link: www.etsy.com/au/listing/1597794454/video-synthesis-download-pack-no-1
I bought the Tang Nano 9K with the specific intention of using it for video synthesizers, and was disappointed to find how little information there was about doing such a thing. Lo! Here you are. Do you know if my board is vastly underpowered for this sort of thing? It's a very cheap FPGA with power and an HDMI port and some IO pins. I was just going to have it do weird things with blanking and sending patterns to analog hardware I've made, but you're doing the whole kit and kaboodle aren't you?
i was looking at the Tang Nano 9k, but I had a lot of problems with the build setup, and getting that to work. I'm mostly using Xilinx cos that's what I know and there is a little more support then with Sipeed/Gowin. maybe there is lots of support and documentation but if so its not in English 🥲
speaking of fpgas and video in general, if you are trying to make HDMI video, that's maybe just below medium difficulty. Making composite video is a bit harder, but not impossible. and then doing things like mixing multiple channels of analoge video is VERY HARD, sadly.
Saludos cordiales una pregunta amigo por casualidad tendra los datos del Cargador de Voltaje del Edirol v4 le agradecería mucho.
Hola, la fuente de alimentación original se llamaba "PSB-U1", pero ya no se fabrica. Roland está vendiendo una unidad de reemplazo llamada 'PSB-120'. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PSB120--roland-psb-120-ac-adapter
@@catfullofghosts4478 Muchas gracias

Another great video! Learned some things about this mixer I've been using for years, cheers!
🤩
My god, I had one of these, they were great for their time.
I've been kind of interested in the VR-4HD as well, has anyone used one in a video glitch context? I don't love that there is no manual control over the fades, but it ticks a lot of other boxes specs wise.
Never got the chance to use one. I wonder if you could use usb midi to drive the fader manually
@@catfullofghosts4478 that would certainly make it better. Weirdly the manual says midi over USB is a thing but never lists the implementation chart anywhere I could see. Spam every cc and see what happens I guess.
@@politesociety there isnt a menu on the device that lets you set the controls? Edirol dont use a standard midi implimentation sadly. It’s either programable, or some weird fixed thing that could be notes, cc
@@catfullofghosts4478 I did end up finding the midi chart for it, and on top of most things being sysex based, i could only see fade time as an option, no direct control of the fader itself. I don't have the device so not sure entirely what's in the menu, but it didn't look promising. Not that fader control is the most important thing ever. There is sysex control of chroma key options though...
@@politesociety mmmm... yeah, I have a V1 that uses SYSEX as the only way to turn on midi control of channel inputs 🥲, its a big bummer
There was a bstock v4ex on ebay for $300 like 3 hours before this video came out. RIP
🥲
Yay! Love these vids, learned loads from previous ones
i have both a wjmx-50 and an MX70, the former being barely more capable than this here. i love them both dearly!
you mean the AGMX-70? its pretty capable, huge, heavy and its hard to find the 3dfx cards, but I think it has a lot of possibilities. Probably not in a live setting bcos there are lots of better mixers in terms of functionality vs size.
@@catfullofghosts4478 yeah i dont think there is a 70 in any other line so the AG is a bit cumbersome for me. i love using it for camera and internal feedback, out in the real world i find myself recording stuff and using it canned instead of being able to make it happen live which is fine, but i love to do it in real time and react to whats happening in the room with it
I got one for a really good price at B&H! My only gripes are that you don't have the ability to switch which effect is active like on the V4, and that the USB streaming output is at 720. Fortunately, the HDMI output can get up to 1920. I was also able to get the streaming USB output to show up as a video capture device in OBS on Windows 10. May be a driver issue? 🤷
the switching effects issue, is something i may be working on 🤫
Have you ever watched Bad Gear?? This is like video version!!
Oh yeah. Thats true 😂, similer-ish vibes. Thats a flatering comparison
A new favorite channel - love the intro and the whole aesthetic.
Awww thanks!!!
I am happy with the v4ex. When i do shows i use two mixers chained together and the picture quality is much better than using the analog v4 as an output. My computer looks crisp and clear through the EX, rather then blurry, when i had to use a downscaler with the analog. One bad thing is that i cant get my new computer to play nice with the EX. My old computer from 2012, 14? Works fine. Im thinking it is a driver issue. If anyone knows a fix that would be dope.
Pc computer? If anyone works out how to use the usb video or the usb midi on a modern pc plz tell us
I've been using these units for years and never knew you could scale the output with the value knob, but I do know you can move the output around with your finger using the touchpad!
Oh cool! How did i miss that 😂
Great review! I have both and even though I really like the convenience and the much better tbc in V-4EX, the real analog feedback of the V-4 is much richer and interesting than both digital and pseudo analog feedback from the V-4EX. I've managed to get one relatively cheap on the ebay, but the touchscreen isn't functional which is quite a bummer and I haven't found any place where they sell spare ones.
thanks 😆 yeah, V4 feedback has a lot more visual appeal to me without the need for extra video fx in the feedback path. As for spare parts, I have had a lot of luck with: www.roland.com/uk/support/spares/ they pointed me to someone in my part of the world for Edirol/Roland V1 from 2004 replacement parts. They were a bit $$ but they were genuine parts, so.
Thanks! I upgraded from V4 to V4EX - and didn't regret it. Strong pros: - No upscaling device needed (if you want to use a capture card instead of re-scanning). -The WAY better tbc if you are working on glitched video stuff
I didnt get much of a chance to put much glitched out stuff through mine sadly (only borrowed it for a week from a friend) but it definitely handled signal loss gracefully, which is a big + when you are using old gear that sometimes has a split second hickup every once in a while
If theres one thing i know about them is that there are people selling them for 100 euro once in a while
that is WILD cheap!!! How lucky can you get!
Do you have by any chance a explanatory sheet for this device? My brain seems not to be able to comprehend the thing after having soldered it, thx
Thoughts on the V-4EX? Looking to do everything the V4 does, but include an HDMI input source and have the mixer as end of the line before projector. Seems great, just wondering if the feedback is as magical as the original V4
v4ex is very cool. Im a big fan of being able to mix HDMI and composite video feedback at the same time. the only thing I don't like about it is the price.
brilliant!
thanks, let me know if you make something cool with this idea
DOOOOOPE!!! I’ve just started scratching the surface of visuals and M4L, and I’m soo stoked to find your page. Thank you for sharing & I did not know Roland made video fx units 💯🤘😈
Woooooah! You just blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯
this is so sick!
awww thanks!!! it is very fun!
seems like you can get a lot out of that or the v-4 if you just take your time and explore and be creative with your raw footage.
how do you get the aspect ratio on the ipads to be perfect output for analog? i have had issues with squishing and stretching between hdmi/ digital output converting to analog. please advise.
good question, a lot of my footage is 4:3 to start off with, but otherwise i just acept that there will be cropping. Im pretty sure in the settings for Colourcode VJ you can set crop/lettertbox for your video output
@@catfullofghosts4478 thanks!!
need the v-4EX vid!!
😨are u spying on me?! 😂 who told you
Can I ask how that glass delay box affects the feedback? I got my hands on one but couldn’t get it to pass video
hmmm, that's odd, i might be broken, video should pass directly through a delay box. the longer the delay from the out put to the input in your delay path the further apart each delayed image that gets added to what you see on the screen. the length of the delay can change the quality of the feedback in a pretty subtle way, like how quickly it blows out to white
Wow, this is fantastic. I’ve been hoping something like this was possible using a hardware MIDI sequencer but this is way better.
Mine, preview not working...
no signal at all, or signal black and white/jumping
Not sure if possible but consider speaking to people involved with the MiSTer FPGA platform? It already has a large following in the retro gaming community and would put it in the hands of many who already have one? Just a thought, great project!!
Blimey, yes please!
hey Cat, Is is possible to link the effects to midi?
yes, in fact here is a M4L patch for doing just that catfullofghosts.etsy.com/listing/1578389148
Hello, thank you for this great presentation! Is it possible to connect a DVD player to it that would have an RCA output?
yes, you would just need a DVD player that has composite video out (yellow rca) and an RCA to BNC adapter, to connect to the mixer
hi, how can i send footage from my macbook (2020 - usb-c only) to an input on my edirol ? thanks
love this channel
This is really fantastic! I plan on getting a v8 to use for videos and automate the midi. You made it way easier to do it . I hope this gets more popular, you deserve it
aww thanks, i hope you find it usefull
How did you get the feedback working? I can get the FX working but not sure how you did the feedback stuffs. Thx ;)
HDMI out plugged into hdmi in, you probably want a HDMI splitter so yu can run the video out to both a screen and back into the mixer
Super cool to see you talking about this. It has got my mind ticking over as well now.
free tools are great!
A colleague of my Dad's at Rochdale Art College told me about this synth fairly recently. They went to EMS studio in Putney and had a demo, with a view to ordering one for the college. However given the expense the purchase didn't go ahead. Look forward to this being available, great project!
i've got the Edirol V4's MIDI-In connected to my MIDI interface - not sure where to go from here. Having trouble getting MIDI out to the Edirol V4 & mapping them. How do I do this? I see the Edirol V4 Midi settings on the right of the 2pro plugin, but I'm not sure what they mean.
Here is a link to how to change the setting on your mixer. The link was on the etsy, but ill add it to this youtube video and make it more prominent. docs.google.com/document/d/18BVAYo14xsvCTc38q8JL8ZcNEWuq-BcZkRPL7WG5LXM/edit?usp=sharing
