looks like your little machine just screws with the video signal in realtime... not really that exciting I must say. Maybe you should have a look @ the fairlight CVI or read my developer thread about a hardware FX box that would actually be useful...

I've read and re-read the stuff on the site to try and grasp the fundamentals. It takes some time, but one CAN read between the lines. (I'm talking about the stuff thats on the "real" part of the site that seems broken.)
It is a realtime efx box, seems mostly v-sync and h-sync and delay kind of stuff.. It has a 20 second mono audio sampler with hi/lo pass filters. There is also A/V white and pink noise generators. There might be a sine wave generator. Although there must be more efx because there are a bunch of knobs and switches on it.
Its designed to be a all-in-one kind of A/V freak-out box with future expansion capabilities.
Its completely hardware based, so very stable & real-time.
The couple of example .movs on the site:
http://rebelle.restate.org/dd5701.html
http://rebelle.restate.org/dd7307.html
These don't seem to be adequate though.
Hope they don't mind the "leech"........
I have to agree w/ elbows. I'm not sure I would buy one w/ out some more real clear info. But then part of me wants one no matter what because I know this is an entirely unique machine, that is going to be in very limited production. I dare say an instant collectors-item that just might be wicked as hell.
But the price tag, plus the fact that its PAL, so I'd be buying at least one converter too.....
Uggghh......
and truth be known, the quotes she(?) used are actually from an email I sent the other day....trying to get the answers that I (and I know you all) want.
I am serious about being sick to death of fighting with my computers and considering selling my shit, too.

10th April 2002, 07:45 PM
Congrats for taking the time to read between the lines :p
Well I find the effects on the movs interesting, I like to fuck up with my videos so that would be useful. And since it's hardware, it's easy to use.
I'll wait for someone else to buy it though and, hopefully, write a review on VJcentral :) I really don't feel like giving away all this money without knowing if it really does what it promises. Having an expensive & useless 'collector' laying around and taking space is not that 'hip'.

I doubt it would be "useless".
And for effects, there must also be crazy feedback abilities by routing the signal through the different parts.
Maybe I will see if they will give me one to test out for us and write a healthy, extensive review for vjc?
yeah right :rolleyes:

It only costs 600 US $, there are knob and faders and some inputs build in.
Also outputs and buttons are included - all realtime!
You will see what it can do, all these fantactic things - when you buy it.

I was a social twiddler at first. Just like my dad.
But then it got to be where I'd carry my gizmo's with me where ever I went so I could twist whenever I felt like it.
Then, the last straw....I figured out a way to get paid to play with my gadgets! I thought I had it made! Who knew I could get a job just zoning out to a big movie screen while "knobbing"? Of course all I did with the money was buy more knobs, even things with lights of their own!
Now look at me. I am here now because I know I have a problem and need help.
With that I'll pass.

NN wannabees seem to think that what worked for NATO works for them . Problem is, the value of NATO is evident, while the value of this depends on what it actually does, as to which people can only make an educated guess.
What i see is some kind of simple modular analog synth and a video part. How the audio and video parts relate is unknown and unspecified. Whether it has frame buffer and other necessary parts to do a video synth type project is unclear. The demo movies suggest that the audio part is used to destroy the sync signal of the video, making 'interesting' out of sync video.
I would actually be very interested in an audio/video synth if the two parts would have any meaningful relation. As it is i can't escape the feeling this is an overhyped product with a lot of mist surrounding it, trying to get ppl buy it based on assumptions /feelings instead of knowledge. The 'if you dont like it or if its broken, tough luck' clause at the end of the website plus the lack of meaningful replies to serious questions only confirms this feeling. Again i'd love to be proven wrong, but in english please or some other language I understand.

Yeah thats what I thought it did.... this isn't interesting its shit, If I wanted video with screwed sync I would play-rewind a tape into the sync input on a V5 or a panasonic.
They have just spammed the same crap onto the eyecandy list BTW.
Also I have to admit for vid synth stuff a controller box for winamp would be good, personjally I have stuff that just generates video from audio input *yawn* but thats just me :)

http://www.levlhed.com/LEVLrebelle1.avi
260MB (your 56k is obsolete)
352x240 Indeo 10 minutes.
I'm running a VCD of "The Terrible Truth" from the internet archive thru the rebelle. I'm running into an MX1, and I do a little luma-key with some kalideoscope stuff (which didn't work too well, but you see whats possible.) The original clip is black-and-white-ish.
I have the audio going into a mixer, then the rebelle looped in through an aux loop, run through my Electrix MoFX to add some delay/autopan (for depth).
It takes me a bit to get going, and I might have concentrated a bit too much on the audio (my first time doing that). At the very beginning, I'm having to do a bit of "tuning" to get the rebelle going right. That click in the audio is in the VCD.
but it should start to give you an idea of what its about.
And again, I still barely know what I'm doing.
This thing is so fun!

I've figured out that my Tenlab video converter doesn't like the sync output by the rebelle. The rebelle is PAL only and I was trying to convert the output to NTSC to bring into my MX1. Therefore that video example I posted isn't really an accurate indication of what it does. The Tenlab kept losing the signal. Tonight I bypassed it and sent the rebelle straight to my projecter with (even) more satisfying results. The output isn't so flashy/strobey and there is much more control over the H/V syncs.
Some PC troubles are preventing me from creating a better sample for you guys right now. I hope to have this straightened out soon! I should be able to make an mpeg1 which (correct me if I'm wrong) you mac dudes can cope with better.
I've also been given a beta of the manual, so now I know what she's really capable of! I'll see if its OK to post the pdf here for the curious to browse.
Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but there is some degree of automatic switching ability (both in the audio and the video sections) based on the audio input. Apparently it works very well with bass frequencies......

hmmmm sync freaking and colour tweeks...... ok so you can freak sync by running video signal through almost anything... especially audio things like guitar pedals, etc (and b4 anyone asks no they don't do to the video what they do to audio, delay, etc...) and you can tweek contrast and brightness with most mixers...... PLEASE tell me again why this things is a. special b. so expensive only special thing I see about it is that those things can be connected in some way to the audio.....

as i see the price i was realy sad because i thouth it is realy expensive but then i noticed that it isn?t so much expensive because i remembered the old times when Analog_synths where new and what they had cost :)
so i think it is a good thing also to have a piece of the analog and digital side audio and maybe sonn also in my video-set to learn using it intuitivly and quick.
But whats going on with that Website??
always i click on the picture of the box all frames of the website pops and show me some pure code

No linus the site thing has been covered b4... its the way it was designed, to be confusing and annoying.
As for how much analogue stuff cost when it come out, that doesn't mater cause its cheap as chips now and so this sort of price is stupid, especially for its video capabilities. To price the unit as if it was being produced in the early 80's is rediculous with current tech.
As for being intuitive.... there are other video FX boxes just as intuitive and have a much broader range of useful functions and FX.... oh and hopefully if that FX box of mine ever gets built really you will have the best of dig/analog hybrid FX and more in a VERY intuitive interface.
Oh yeah and BTW I figured out I can emulate this unit running unsyched signals into a CVI and trying to mix them..... ugly as fuck but its pretty damn close.

LEV thats just the problem mate, all the good stuff is now out of production making it damn hard to get, but it is out there.... I'm sure there must have been some other FX boxes created in the 70's/80's that are still around besides the CVI, I would love to hear about them. As for other specific ones check http://www.audiovisualizers.com/toolshak/vsynths.htm
Does anybody know of any video FX boxes with real time controls out there currently in production that aren't part of a mixer??? the only one I can think of is dave's FX kit unit, but there must be more
Just because this unit is currently in production (god knows why) doesn't mean its any good... sorry mate but its not an FX box its a gizmo that screws with the signal, simple...... and you can do that with lots of things much cheeper..... and the simple fact is no body @ a party wants to watch an image that looks like you have a dodgey connector in your rig.
As for being A/V I will mention the CVI specifically as it has an audio input and many many things on it can be triggered or modified with audio input :)
ANyways......
As for my FX unit.... no ideas on time frame or price yet but talking to per-i about getting it happening...... fingers crossed :)
BTW I count myself as one that likes a video signal to be coherant and not a bunch of out of sync rubbish supposedly justified psuedo philosophical statements about reality and the establishment

10th June 2002, 04:55 PM
Nah mate you have the wrong end of the stick...... there must be plenty of other cool FX boxes out there aswell as the CVI.
Just after seeing that clip (even if it did have errors) and reading what the video sektion (twits) comprises of then I can reasonably draw a conclusion as to what sort of output it gives....... yes it may have endless combos, but if each of those building blocks is rubbish then the output will be rubbish. As I said already no one wants to watch video @ a party that looks like you have a dodgey connector in your rig.

Thankyou apology accepted, and don't bother digging I'm sure they're there but lets just focus on the matter @ hand.
DO you have any responses to my previous posts about what I said about the unit???
Hmmm after watching that clip I would like know what the colours were like on the the original clip, that colour spectrum effect was nice (I have the same thing on my CVI producer). Looking @ the colourizing section of the manual it maybe the most interesting part of the unit main cause I guess colourizing effects are VERY easy to do in hardware.
Still don't personally dig the sync freakouts, I agree with X it maybe approriate @ a hardcore gig or something but I don't think its gonna work @ house/breaks/trance nights....... I think if I gave video like that to a promoter, they would shoot me or atleast demand that I replace the cable and fix it :p
BTW come to think of it I presume you haven't used this out yet, but when you do, ask the promoter what they think of the video it outputs without telling them you doing the sync screwing on purpose.
PS to the ppl currently engaging in various forms of one upmanship via VJC/VJF..... can you please cut it out, as I stated in another thread, I think it goes against the nice equality we have built here.... thanks :)

The original colors are what you see in the first few seconds. The effect isn't all that easy to get, one has to adjust two knobs and find the "sweet spot".
I hope to get it out both friday and saturday night this week down in Chicago. We'll see how its received....
I can understand your views of the thing. Mine is a bit different since its I own it...and its pretty much the only one in the world. Yes, the effects it produces aren't "nice". As for the generalizations about what "everyone" wants to see at a party...thats a bold assumption. You've never been to a party here.
I fully expect some people to not "get it". Frankly, I don't care. It is what it is, it does what it does. This is my style for now. If it means I'm only hired for "hardcore" events, so be it. I think the promoters I've dealt with could appreciate it though.

Hmmmm valid points..... still I "know" it wouldn't go down well with the promoters I work with or the crowds... good luck with selling it to yours :)
As for owning it, yeah it makes you biased becasue you don't really want to acknowledge that it was a bit of a waste of money and as I said the same thing can be achived with other junk. As for the only one, yeah maybe in the states..... not getting down on you mate but I think those points are pretty obvious..... Youa re obviously DESPERATE for a realtime FX box and I would totally help you if I could, but I guess all I can say is keep your eyes open and hunt, and maybe if you have nothing by sometime next year maybe per-i will ahve my unit out, and you can trash this thing :)

again, with the assumptions...
I don't feel this was a waste of money at all!
And why must you insist on calling this junk?
You made this decision weeks ago...
I think we all know your opinion, you'll never convince me to change mine. spare us all.

Hahaha fine LEV I'll leave it alone mate and BTW my opinion of this box is contantly changing I appreciate you clips mate. Once again with the taking bits out of context and reading what you want into it... is this a god damn american trait no-one told me... for fuck sake LEV.
I was saying it was a bit of a waste mate cause you can get similar FX from running video through old (read cheap) audio FX units)..... I didn't say the rebelle was junk I said the other old sudio stuff was junk... and I said you were obviously desperate for a good FX box, which comes from MANY previous conversations I have had with you about FX boxes b4 the rebelle even came along mate..... quit fucking taking me out of context, shit.
OH and BTW I can agree to disagree but I can't abide having my words cobbled together to mean something different so CUT IT OUT!!!

I wasn't deliberately trying to take your words out of context, that is what I thought you were really saying!
I know I did that before, but that was obviously as a joke.
But fair enough. You clarified what you meant. I understand.
I don't mind the colorful language.
I am not interested in experimenting with audio stomp boxes/etc. I would like to see some examples, though.
I will try to make some more examples soon.
And I would like to hear others opinions (good or bad). I'm sure restate would too.
