Great visualizer for midi work

Vj-Xy fills a very needed space for an app that can put visuals to your music in a way that allows for creativity and ease of use. I was up and running quickly, able to figure out how to map everything and making cool stuff within 5 minutes. If you are a graphic artist/midi based performer this is a must have! Favorite feature is canvas clips being able to use gifs with transparent backgrounds on top of other scenes similar to animated stickers on ig reels.
