I love the use of patch cables to make graphics, like a visual modular synthesizer

These folks make modern modular video synths: https://lzxindustries.net

Oh wow this is cool. Thanks for sharing. Sadly kinda expensive.

I think the point of the exercise is to get a specific look of the ‘75 to ‘85 era graphics that can only come with a Scanimate.

For real. It'd be interesting to see a Reason-like software interface with plug-in cabling for motion graphics. Node-based is cool, but it's also neat to see how the physical hardware worked.

Maybe not quite what you're looking for, but I've had a lot of fun playing with https://lumen-app.com/

Still waiting for Lumen to get cross-platform support. Maybe someday.

He even pronounces Moog correctly, /moʊg/!

Noticed that, too. He lives in Fletcher, NC about 20 minutes from Ashville, the home of Moog.

I thought the home of Bob Moog was somewhere in upstate New York?

The company is in Asheville NC. They even allow tours.

It‘s not the same thing but I feel like you may get a kick out of the Ming Mecca [0]. It‘s a hardware patchable video game creation system. It‘s a really inspiring concept to me and I hope to play with one someday.
