A real-time video synth for macOS performance

Built for Performance
Every tool a VJ needs, running at GPU speed
15 GPU Effects
CRT, VHS, bloom, RGB split, wireframe, mirror, depth, feedback, cel shade, color wash, and more. Every effect runs through the Metal renderer.
Modulator System
LFO, tempo, random, envelope, audio follower, gate, CC, MIDI keyboard, and optical flow sources can drive visual parameters.
Automation Timeline
Create lanes for General, Effect, and Layer parameters. Draw keyframes, choose Linear or Hold motion, scrub timing, and perform over the top with return skew.
Gesture Recording
Capture short live moves into four replayable gesture tracks. Record parameter throws, randomization actions, resets, and tap tempo gestures.
MIDI & OSC Control
Connect hardware controllers via MIDI with learn mode, CC modulation, keyboard note outputs, and OSC input for external rigs.
Audio Reactivity
Drive visuals from video audio, radio, or microphone input with amplitude, low, mid, high, and thresholded gate responses.
Layer Stack
Composite text and image layers with opacity, position, scale, and color controls that can be modulated or automated.
Syphon Output
Route processed video to Resolume, MadMapper, OBS, and any Syphon-compatible app. Essential for professional VJ setups.
Effect Chain Reordering
Drag to reorder effects, duplicate instances, and mix wet/dry per effect. Use locks, dice, and automation lanes to perform the chain.
Live Sources
Load local videos and images, stream video from URLs, use webcam input, or audio-react your visuals to built-in internet radio.
Live Recording
Record processed video output and export individual frames as PNG. Capture your performances instantly.
Preset System
Save and load complete sessions with effect states, modulation routing, gesture tracks, and automation timeline data.
BPM Sync
Tap tempo or auto-detect BPM. Sync tempo modulators and quantized gestures to musical beat divisions.
Support Library
A growing in-site guide covers quick start workflows, General properties, Effects, Modulators, and Automations.
Native macOS
Built with SwiftUI and Metal 3.0 for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. No Electron, no compromises.
> Effect Chain
15 GPU-Accelerated Effects
Every effect runs in real-time on your GPU via Metal 3.0. Chain them. Reorder them. Modulate and automate the parameters that matter.
CRT
Scanlines, screen curvature, and vignette. Authentic retro monitor look.
VHS
Analog degradation, tracking errors, noise, and color bleeding.
Chromatic Aberration
RGB channel separation and color fringing at the edges.
Bloom
Dreamy glow and blur on bright areas of the image.
RGB Split
Independent offset of red, green, and blue channels for glitch aesthetics.
Delay
Frame buffer feedback creating trails, echoes, and time-domain effects.
Frequency Shifter
Hue, saturation, brightness, and luminance remapping for alien palettes.
Kaleidoscope
Mirror, rotate, and segment the image into patterns.
Wireframe
Mesh overlays with luminance displacement and perspective controls.
Mirror
Flips, reflections, split lines, and segmented symmetry for live reframing.
Depth 3D
Parallax, focus blur, edge glow, and anaglyph depth treatments.
Feedback
Recursive sampling with rotation, zoom, and decay. Infinite tunnel effects.
Edge Detection
Highlight edges and outlines for a technical wireframe look.
Cel Shade
Comic book and illustration effect with quantized color bands.
Color Wash
Animated psychedelic color bands that sweep across the frame.
> Modulation Engine
Modulation and Automation
Combine live modulators with timeline lanes and gesture recording. Parameters can drift, pulse, follow audio, react to motion, or hit exact keyframed moments.
LFO / Tempo
Free-running LFOs, beat-synced tempo waves, random drift, and envelope shapes give parameters repeatable movement.
Audio / Gate
Follow video, radio, or mic input with amplitude, low, mid, high, and thresholded gate responses.
MIDI / Flow
Use MIDI CC, playable keyboard outputs, OSC mappings, and optical flow zones for hands-on or motion-driven control.
Timeline
Draw keyframes for General, Effect, and Layer controls. Use Linear, Hold, duration loops, and manual return skew.
> Signal Pipeline
Your Complete VJ Toolkit
From input to output — a seamless signal chain built for live performance.
Recording
Capture processed output in real time, export still frames, and choose where recordings save for repeatable performance capture.
Sessions
Save and recall complete looks, including effects, modulation routing, gesture tracks, and automation timeline state.
