VJ Deck

A live VJ deck in six looks: a neon tunnel, an LED wall, isometric blocks, a chromatic wireframe, a particle plexus and glitch circuitry. Each stacks up to four looping layers with their own blend and opacity, the bass, mids and highs driving them, a master effect (mirror, kaleidoscope, RGB split or feedback trails) over the top, new clips launching every few bars or on the song's phrases, and a beat strobe that stays within the flash safety limit.

Neon Tunnel

Fly down a curving tunnel of neon light strips: a chase runs round every frame, each strip lit by its own band, a pulse of light races down the walls on each kick and an energy portal at the far end throws lightning on the snare. Every few bars the deck launches a new shape: hexagon, square, triangle, octagon or star.

Classic Studio

LED Wall

A stage LED wall of round diodes in cabinets: plasma, a spectrum skyline from the middle out, ripples off the kick, a liquid checkerboard that flips on the beat, chevrons and pixel rain play across it, a projected grid flows over the top and a light bar sweeps the wall once a bar.

Classic Studio

Isometric Pulse

An isometric field of neon-edged blocks rising and falling in waves: ripples from the middle, sweeps, spirals, a checkerboard that swaps on the beat, rings that are the spectrum and towers that spring up on the beat, with light tracers running the floor grid and hollow cubes floating up and inverting the colours.

Classic Studio

Chromatic Wireframe

A spinning wireframe, a torus knot, a geodesic sphere, a twisted torus, a supershape or a lattice cube, split into red, green and blue that the snare pulls apart, with specular glints running its edges, orbit rings round it and glitch slices and blocks on the beat.

Classic Studio

Particle Plexus

A rotating 3D network of points shaped as a sphere, a torus, a double helix, a wave sheet or a galaxy: lines join every close pair, the triangles between them glow, data pulses run along the links on each kick and shock rings pass through the cloud.

Classic Studio

Glitch Circuitry

A circuit board routed new on every clip: data pulses race along its traces, the processor flares on the kick and lights its traces outward, chip lights blink on the hats, scanlines roll over it and the snare tears it into glitch slices.
