LZX - Stacker
- Order number: 230450
- Depth: 32
LZX Stacker is a triple quadrilateral key generator that creates square, rhomboid or other quadrilateral shapes in the modular video world.
Feeding Stacker with horizontal or vertical waveforms from DWO3, DSG3 or Angles, you get stacked quadrilateral shapes on the three channels to create output-sided squares, rectangles or rhomboid shapes. The three Ratio and Size controls can be used to define the shaping threshold.
Each layer is subtracted from the lower layers. This is reminiscent of nested matryoshka wooden dolls and allows programming of simple letter shapes and symbols.
If horizontal or vertical references are fed from waveshapers, video cameras or other complex sources, Stacker becomes an extraction tool of foreground details, tiles and mosaics.
Features:
- Three-channel quadriliteral key generator.
- Horizontal and vertical inputs per channel
- Ideal partner for DWO3, DSG3 and Angles
- Ratio and size controls for shape definition
- Each layer is extracted from lower layers ("nesting doll" effect)

Stacker @LZX
Lars Larsen and Ed Leckie met each other in the synth DIY scene in 2008 and collaborated with the idea to release an affordable yet powerful modular video synthesizer. In 2015, they moved to Portland and by now they have the most extensive catalogue of video synthesis modules available. In case you are wondering, in their own words: "LZX is not an acronym. It is an alphabetical sequence with aesthetic merit."
