getting started

1. Set up your profile

Log in, open your Profile page, and choose a username. This gives your sets and performance links a clean identity when you share them.

2. Build a set in Studio

Go to Studio, create or open a set, then add shaders. You can reorder items to define your live sequence and keep related looks grouped together.

3. Add controls for live tweaking

Attach a controls file to expose uniforms as sliders/toggles. This is the fastest way to shape mood, speed, color, and intensity while performing.

4. Connect MIDI and/or audio

In performance mode, map MIDI knobs/faders to control values for tactile control. If you use Pure Data audio routing, you can drive visuals reactively from sound.

5. Run performance mode

Open the performance view fullscreen before your set. Switch shaders with keyboard, scroll, or MIDI, and keep your next cues ready in your set order.

6. Optional: multi-screen output

Use the display node flow if you want to split visuals across screens/projectors for installations or stage setups.
