Enjoy a demonstration of the Mindlight7 Video Synthesizer, also known as mindEYE, for the Amiga demonstration by the DataDoor Youtube channel.
The Mindlight7, also known as mindEYE, is a video synthesizer for the Amiga that transforms audio into dynamic visuals. It connects via the joystick or mouse port, with sound input through a built-in microphone or stereo mini-jack. The hardware converts audio frequencies into data, allowing the Visual Aurals software by Mark Adams to generate real-time visuals.
Core Features
The software provides a range of tools to create unique visual effects:
- Mozai & Kolai Objects: Geometric shapes synced to audio.
- Screen Scrolling: Adds depth through motion.
- Bit Splitting: Produces fragmented, pixelated visuals.
- Fade Layers & Drop Screens: Overlay effects for complexity.
- Color Cycling: Dynamic palette changes.
- Backdrops & Fader Types: Endless combinations for variety.
- Sprites, Brushes, & Images: Custom graphic elements.
Users can adjust settings for responsiveness to bass, treble, and other audio components. MIDI control and live mode enhance interactivity, making the Mindlight7 suitable for performances.
Genlock Integration
Pairing the Mindlight7 with a Genlock expands its capabilities. Combining Mindlight visuals with video feedback loops creates striking, experimental effects for digital art and video production.
Creative Utility
The Mindlight7 is a tool for turning sound into visual art. Simple hardware and flexible software allow for infinite variation, offering a practical and powerful way to explore audiovisual synthesis.
