Curious about video synthesis but not sure where to start? Hypno is a semi-modular video synthesiser system that packs in a serious amount of power.

Manufacturer's description

The Hypno is inspired by analog video systems. It digitally emulates and extends common analog video workflows that previously required whole systems to achieve, with shape generation, colorization, feedback and the ability to patch these elements in a simple compact interface. Since launch we have added live video processing, looping MP4 videos and more to make Hypno the ultimate digital video dream machine.
