ImmerGround
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn your music into live, reactive visuals, right from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The whole app now speaks 15 languages. ImmerGround is a music-reactive visual instrument for musicians, VJs, DJs, producers, and performers: a music visualizer you can play like an instrument. Start from a shader or bring your own video and images, map them to audio and MIDI, and watch every beat, note, and frequency reshape the picture in real time. ImmerGround is free to start, and anyone can create projects. ImmerGround Pro, an optional auto-renewing subscription, unlocks the Pro shaders and effects, sharing, and renders up to 4K. FEATURES Shaders That Move to Your Music: 28 generative scenes, from cymatics and city skylines to ink, posters, petals, and glyph storms. Every scene has four knobs of its own, already mapped to the music, so it moves with your track from the first second. Save a look as a preset and bring it back in one tap. Your Music, in Sync: Play songs from your files or your music library, build setlists, or use the mic. Open a streaming panel in the Music sheet: it plays in its own app and ImmerGround hears it through the mic. Music keeps playing in the background. The Music Clock follows tempo and beats live, so effects and pad scenes land on the beat. On Mac, visuals can also follow music playing in any other app. Audio-Reactive in Real Time: Split the spectrum into Sub, Bass, Mid, High, and Air, or dial in your own frequency window. Full MIDI Mapping: Connect any MIDI controller and map CC knobs, notes, pitch bend, and pads to anything on screen. Built-in MIDI Learn binds a control in one move. A Rack of Effects: Pixelate, glitch slicing, RGB split, zoom pulse, strobe, and more, plus eight effect packs: Kaleidoscope, ASCII, Motion Track, Old TV, Print, Film, Flow, and Depth. Stack and modulate them into a look of your own. Precise Source-to-Effect Routing: Pick a source (a bass band, a MIDI knob, a held note), pick a destination (glitch amount, zoom, kaleidoscope sides, playback speed), and shape how one drives the other with response curves, output ranges, and smoothing. Build as many links as you like, all at once. Trigger Mode, Pad Scenes & Video Cues: Load a bank of clips and images and fire them from pads. Split a video into pads and jump to any moment with a tap, a key, or a MIDI pad. Play setlists, not settings. Multi-Layer Compositing: Stack video, image, and effect layers with blend modes and opacity. Store: Free CC0 VJ loops you can use anywhere, plus shader looks and effect packs, right on the library page. In Your Language: ImmerGround now speaks English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Nederlands, Polski, Português (Brasil), Русский, Svenska, Türkçe, 简体中文 and 繁體中文. Projects That Remember: Unlimited projects, saved automatically, with undo and redo that survives across launches. Built for the Stage and the Studio: A fast, hardware-inspired interface designed for live control. Send the show to a projector or second screen over HDMI or AirPlay. Hit REC to capture your set, or render it offline up to 4K. Universal across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. From bedroom jams to club walls, ImmerGround makes expressive visual performance accessible. Bring your sound to life. SUBSCRIPTION ImmerGround Pro unlocks every Pro shader, effect pack, and loop, sharing and export, and renders up to 4K. It is available as a weekly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings. SAY HI!

You just finished a track. You need a teaser for Instagram, a Canvas for Spotify, a video for YouTube — now, not next week. Rondo turns your audio into animated visuals, directly on your phone. No upload, no account, no server: your unreleased master stays with you. It works in the studio with no signal, and on a plane. WHAT IT DOES • Analyses your track on the device (kick, mids, highs, spectrum, tempo) • 26 scenes that genuinely react to the music: console bars, a ring that pulses on the kick, an oscilloscope beam, a heat-map spectrogram, VU meters, particle bursts, a tunnel, a lava lamp, a nebula, a beatbox crew whose singer takes the mic when your lyrics come in, a turntable wearing your artwork, a night skyline whose windows are the equalizer, a see-through cassette, a eurorack wall… — plus two stickers for your own video: a now-playing card and the track's waveform • Scenes in 3D: the turntable, the VU meters and the cassette are real objects, lit like in a studio. Bars and Orb go 3D too • 22 backgrounds, from aurora, film grain and vinyl grooves to a synthwave sunset, stage spotlights, sparks thrown by every kick and your artwork breaking into grains on the drop — two of them light (paper, halftone), turning the whole palette over — plus a CRT effect and a film finish (bloom, halation, grain) over everything • Release kit: one tap renders the teaser on the drop, the Spotify Canvas looping on it and the full YouTube video. Send a track from another app or a Shortcut and it lands on the kit • Straight to an Instagram Story or Reel after the export • Media: your photos and videos cut to the track, each with its effects, its grade and its transition. Or start from a video: its sound becomes the track, its picture stays in sync behind the scene, and four scenes take it as their material — Multicam, Echo, Prism, Colour map. Or turn it into light: glow, neon, trails • A scene timeline: one scene on the intro, another on the drop, each with its own settings and a crossfade at the join • Auto edit: one tap writes both timelines from what your track already knows — a scene for each part, cuts on the downbeat, effects dosed by section. All of it editable afterwards • The shape of your track, named — intro, build, drop, groove, break, outro — and its tempo: find the drop lands your teaser on the build, and cuts and loops land on the bar • Live mode: the scenes on the sound of the room — a session, a set, a party. Nothing is recorded; over HDMI the visuals go to a TV or a projector. Free • Room mode: the crowd scans a code, and every phone in the room plays your look to the music it hears, all in time. No network, no account. Free • Synced lyrics: transcription on the device, each word timed on the voice, a karaoke sweep, and a proofread by your phone's own language model • Your identity: artwork, title and artist name burned in, eight typefaces, entrance animations, ten signed palettes, five of your own — or the colours of your artwork • Frame: the scene full screen, in a movable widget, or inside one of 16 devices — consoles, phones, an arcade cabinet, a camcorder… — your name on it, all of it playing to the track, flat or in 3D • Waveform trimming and fades; exports in 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 and Spotify Canvas • Presets: six curated looks to start, and yours reused on every release in one tap — or shared with a link • Set mode: chain your projects full screen on a TV (AirPlay, HDMI), or export the whole set as one video, YouTube chapters ready to paste • Backup to YOUR iCloud — not to our cloud NO SUBSCRIPTION The free version exports without a watermark. Rondo Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks every scene and background, the 1:1, 16:9 and Canvas formats, brand identity and presets. WHO IT IS FOR Beatmakers posting snippets, independent artists on release day, podcasters and labels rebuilding the same look every week, DJs putting their sets online.
