What's New in VOSC Visual Particle Synth

2.0.1

February 16, 2025

2.0.1 - Fixes for some older devices Version 2.0 is a complete app rewrite using a new graphics engine, enabling greater performance and functionality. New features include: - New additive and multiplicative blend modes - New oscillator waveform - Variable particle size and shape - Granular color and resolution controls - Patch thumbnail image previews - 40 new factory patches Please note that due to the extent of changes in this major release, patches saved using Version 1 are not compatible with Version 2 and will not be available after updating.

Harmonics

When tuning the four visual oscillators I sometimes find a sweet spot. It’s as though I’ve come along a visual harmonic especially when using lower LFO speeds. A great audio analogy is a polyrhythm. Would love be able to set numerically specific frequencies/parameters. Brilliant work and thank you.
*When possible increase the number of patch slots and it would be super if you could provide a share button so we can open up the exact same patch on another device.

Incredible visuals!

I’m very surprised that there are no reviews of this yet… This app is phenomenal. It’s got some amazingly trance-inducing capabilities. Very configurable; one can start from scratch, develop personalized patterns, and there are incredible presets that can be modified according to taste. Foreground and background colors can be changed. Dot density and shape can be changed. Getting screenshots of the patterning is a great thing to do, because you can add the resulting video as layers in something like LumaFusion, After Effects, Imaginando VS, etc. Very highly recommended!

No visual export

It’s a great idea and fun to play around with. The newer version adds improvements but there is still no way of exporting static images, let alone video. This makes it just a toy rather than a useful tool for creative tool.

Amazing, want more!

This is great! I’d love it if it were modular, you could make one thing affect another.

FAQ

What is VOSC Visual Particle Synth?

VOSC Visual Particle Synth is an application that functions as a visual synthesizer. Instead of sound waves, it uses a large number of on-screen particles to create visual art. You can manipulate various aspects of these particles to generate dynamic patterns and textures.

How does VOSC create visual patterns?

The app allows you to manipulate the size, shape, and frequency of oscillators. These oscillators work based on John Whitney's principles of differential motion, creating harmonic resonances when their frequencies align in whole number ratios. This process results in a wide variety of moving patterns and textures.

Is VOSC Visual Particle Synth free to use?

Yes, based on the provided information, VOSC Visual Particle Synth is a free application. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or subscription models.

What kind of visual art can I create with VOSC?

You can create an endless variety of moving patterns and textures. The app is inspired by the concepts of visual harmony and differential motion, allowing for the generation of abstract visual compositions with harmonic resonances.
