Custom Videopak for the groundbreaking OP-Z audio / visual synthesizer by Teenage Engineering. This videopak is loaded with public domain GIFs from the Prelinger Video archives. All GIFs included are weird, freaky, or psychedelic. They could be anything from educational videos about the human eye, to car crashes and vintage slow-motion camera demos.

This videopak is based on the GIF Looper template. The GIF Looper videopak is loaded with 14 GIF or video loops that repeat endlessly. All time is mapped to the average BPM that is sent from the OP-Z app. There is not a hard start / stop for the loops, for several reasons. The loops start when the app is enabled but the screen is black until you trigger a loop. You can trigger the 14 loops from the bottom 14 gray keys. You can trigger them at 1/2 time by pressing shift, then the loop key. (This isn't always predictable, sometimes you have to press the gray buttons twice to have them play at normal speed, sometimes it retains 1/2 time playback. I'm working through this, but right now, don't count on exact control of the full or 1/2 playback speed.)

There are effects you can enable from the numbered black keys. Some are multi effects and some effects use knobs to adjust parameters. The last two effects buttons “9” and “0” are multi-effects. “9” will randomly turn on/off and stack effects. This happens based upon the midi notes that your OP-Z is sending. Each note triggers a random number that might fall into the threshold for a given effect. So the more notes that are played the more likely effects will be turned on or changed. “0” functions the same way but for triggering the loops. If you want to just play music and let the visuals surprise you, record the Loop randomizer “0” for the full length of the motion track.

Effect button “7” turns on analog glitch controls. The button must be held down or recorded to keep the glitch controls working. Control the amount of glitch by the WHITE LED knobs. Effect button “8” turns on color controls. When first enabled, the screen will be black or all gray. You need to adjust the GREEN LED knobs to control all aspects of color. There is lots of power in this one setting.
