Powered by live video feedback, it transforms simple inputs into endlessly evolving, mesmerizing patterns — perfect for live performances, music visuals, generative art, and creative exploration. FILTERS & MIRRORS Apply color filters and mirror transformations to reshape your fractals into new forms. Combine them with layers and modulators for infinite creative possibilities.

Arrange them into sequences with custom transition and hold times for smooth, cinematic playback. Export and share your sequences with others. MODULATORS Automate any parameter with real-time signal sources: Audio — react to sound from your microphone MIDI — connect hardware controllers and DAWs Beat Clock — sync to BPM with adjustable divisions Waveform — generate smooth LFO patterns Motion — use your device's gyroscope and accelerometer Gamepad — connect any controller for hands-on performance Create complex, evolving visuals that respond to music, movement, or external control.
