02 · The grid

Clip grid.

Rows are layers, columns are cues. Keys 1 to 8 launch a column.

  • Trigger, hold or toggle
  • Beat and bar quantise
  • Decks and autopilot
The grid: four rows and four columns of visuals, the first column launched

03 · Parameters

Every parameter, a fader.

Every parameter a visual exposes is a fader in the Inspector, MIDI-mappable.

  • Opacity, blend mode, group per layer
  • lil-gui panels become faders
  • Clip transport: speed, reverse, cue points
The Inspector: the selected visual’s faders, its blend, group, effects and transport

04 · Effects

Layer and master effects.

Effects per layer and on the master. Momentary punches on Q, W, E, R: flash, strobe, invert, BPM pulse. Space pauses.

  • Luma key, chroma key, soft mask
  • 8 effect slots per layer
  • Momentary punches
The punch pads: flash, strobe, invert, pulse

05 · Groups

A/B/C crossfade.

Layers in groups A, B and C. Crossfade between them, timed, with a curve.

The transition: groups A, B and C, and the fade time

06 · Code

GLSL, p5.js, Three.js. Unmodified.

GLSL, p5 and Three.js run live as layers, audio-reactive. Shadertoy shaders run unmodified.

  • Drag and drop a folder
  • Video, stills, camera, screen capture
  • Declared parameters become faders
