Three oscillators from a modular synthesizer are controlling video glitches on a Nintendo. Cool stuff happens when the oscillator frequency lines up with the video scan frequency.
The glitches are achieved by connecting the outputs of each oscillator to the base pin of 2N3904 transistors. The collector and emitter pins are connected to various points on the video processing part of the NES circuit board. The voltage from the oscillator acts as a gate signal which allows a current to flow between the collector and emitter. There's a lot of room for different kinds of effects. Like using a VCA to voltage control how much of the VCO voltage goes to the transistor which in effect controls the amount of glitch. Which means voltage controlled glitching. Cool stuff.
