T – SMPTE Standby

**EYESY OS Version: v2.3**

A retro “off the air” SMPTE color bars test pattern for pre-show holding. Vertically scrolling bars recreate the look of an out-of-tune 80s television, with an optional colorizable logo overlay that reacts to audio triggers. Load this mode while setting up your gear — it gives the audience something visually interesting while communicating “the show hasn’t started yet.” Supports three asset modes: Logo PNG, words.txt text, or bars-only. Five knobs control scroll speed, logo/text size, logo/text color, and scanline intensity.

NOTE: Although the readme.md file states that it exists, the Knob 4 “Trails” have been removed, because it worked on Pysey Synth, but choked on the hardware. It will be removed from the documentation if/when it is updated.

Includes a README with full documentation on controls, audio reactivity, asset customization, and performance notes.

    Hmmm.. interesting. I’ll have to test again on my hardware. What is it doing / not doing?

    Knob 1 should make the background scroll up. if knob 1 is set to zero, then it will not move.

    Knob 2 should change the size of the typeface or logo. Set your own text within the words.txt file.
    If you put a white / transparent .png file into a “Logo” folder inside the patch folder, it should override the text and display the logo instead.

    Knob 3 should colorize the logo or font

    Ah… knob 4. I should change the documentation. i had to dump the trails on knob 4 because my emulator could handle it, but the hardware choked. It was too intense for processing.

    Knob 5 adds scanlines and increases their intensity.

    The logo should be audio reactive and bounce based on the trigger. I just made a video so you can see it’s behavior, with a logo in place.

    It just wouldn’t load – red text (unreadable on the screen). The newest one you have uploaded does now work – it’s fab
