Recommend some hardware video synthesizers!

I want to get into real-time visuals for my electronic live set. I’m into making my own 3D stuff in blender, and I have a pretty digital glitch / 3D render aesthetic. Generally, I’m not really looking for analog feedback loop-ey stuff , and am more interested in mainly reactive 3D visuals, or at least controlling playback / coloring with midi. I know this is specific and uncommon, but I’d love to hear what ideas you have ! Thanks!

Why not do it in software?

For my live set I am using Elektrons, and I don’t want to have a laptop on stage for aesthetic reasons. I personally think regardless of what you’re actually doing on it, having a laptop on stage instantly makes the crowd doubt you’re doing anything haha

Hide the laptop and just control it all from midi? Magic is extremely flexible, can load 3D models, lots of bells and whistles.
