A Deeper Visual Catalog

73 production shaders and 47 performance presets give you more finished show material before you touch a slider.

Music Feels Tighter

Rebuilt audio analysis, Ableton Link, beat awareness, and retuned modulation defaults make visuals land closer to the track.

Hardware Control Lands

MIDI mapping, shader selection, and APC40 mkII LED feedback make the controller surface feel connected to the app.

Ready for Bigger Rooms

8K custom output, cleaner Syphon/HDR routing, and a signed Mac installer move 1.5 into a stronger live rig lane.
