Very deep app

This is not the most intuitive app but once you get going, it can do a lot. Like most visual apps, there is a learning curve to get the most out of it.

I have throughly enjoyed creating visuals with this app and the developer is amazing.

Great app

This is a really great app for exploring shaders on apple platforms. I especially like the audio analysis and link integration

not ready ?

crashes on MacOS 15. access to support too convoluted.

Response from developer

Just email me and I'll do my best to help you. info at kymatica.com Problem found: the 1.0 version requires an Apple GPU, so it won't run on Intel macs. Fix is on the way!

Super cool way to get into .msl shaders

Fun and interesting for new Metal shader devs to hook up MIDI and AudioPipeline to modulate their work! Thanks for this!

Avoid..not ready for release…way too complex

Behaves erratically..confusing as hell..complex and u can’t save the manual…if u want to do stuff like this spend a lot more money and get max msp with vizzie
