Further ramblings : You are very lucky and unlucky. Is convenience the devil? Normally the process of DataMoshing is very very time consuming. Sometimes with an art form the tools themselves and the process become the art form itself for some people and a badge of honor. DataMoshing and other esoteric forms of glitch have been underground. Manually DataMoshing works and sometimes it does not. You are lucky because DataMosh Deluxe does does this for you in seconds and also reacts to music which has never been done before. DataMosh Reactive is more hands on and you can manipulate the frames jamming to music with your fingers. In essence we are making your life easier which MAY eventually make DataMoshing...
The PT2399 is a low-cost digital echo/delay processor chip produced by Princeton Technology Corporation. It was originally designed for karaoke machines and other consumer audio devices to add simple echo effects. Key features of the PT2399: 44.1 kHz sampling rate Up to 342ms of delay time Integrated ADC and DAC Low power consumption Relatively low noise for its price point History in Lo-Fi and Circuit Bending: Discovery by DIY Community: In the early 2000s, DIY audio enthusiasts discovered the PT2399's potential for creating affordable delay effects. Its lo-fi character, due to its limited bit depth and sample rate, became part of its appeal. Adoption in Pedal Building: Small pedal manufacturers and DIY builders began incorporating the PT2399 into guitar effect...

I. Early Cinematic Techniques (Late 19th - Early 20th Century) Méliès' Tricks (1896-1913): Georges Méliès pioneered early special effects in film. Example: "A Trip to the Moon" (1902) used multiple exposures and stop-motion techniques. In-Camera Effects: Filmmakers developed various in-camera techniques to create visual effects. Examples: Double exposure: Used in "The Great Train Robbery" (1903) Forced perspective: Employed in "Metropolis" (1927) Optical Printing (1920s): Linwood Dunn developed the optical printer, allowing for complex compositing. Example: Used extensively in "Citizen Kane" (1941) for deep focus effects. II. Analog Video Effects (1950s-1980s) Video Synthesizers (1960s-1970s): Artists and engineers created devices to manipulate video signals. Examples: Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe's Paik/Abe Synthesizer (1969) Stephen Beck's Direct Video Synthesizer (1970) Chroma Key...
