What's New in VKO1
1.29
July 6, 2026
MCP Control — AI Co-Pilot (Mac only) VKO1 is now an instrument an AI can play — connect Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible agent, and it writes custom Metal shaders, builds node graphs, previews its own renders, and pushes visuals straight onto your pads, live Real compile feedback — your agent compiles inside VKO1, reads actual Metal compiler errors, and fixes its own code until the shader works Zero installation — VKO1 speaks the open MCP standard directly. One toggle (the new stars icon in the top bar), one Terminal command, done Performance tools — your agent can trigger pads with HOLD layering, set BPM, switch AutoMix modes, drive both Master Effect knobs, and read live audio energy + beat strength to react to the music Private by design — localhost only, off by default; nothing on your network or the internet can ever reach it Full guide — see the new MCP Control section in the manual Bug Fixes Node editor wires detaching on external monitors — on large displays (viewport wider than ~2000pt) every wire drifted away from its pins after a resolution change. The wire layer now always covers the visible canvas Wires clipped for imported graphs — graphs authored outside the app (Web Editor, MCP) could carry negative node positions, leaving wires cut off mid-air at the canvas origin. Imported graphs are now normalized into visible canvas space
