Description

Photism turns any Ableton track into audio-reactive visuals. Drop it on a

track, press play, it renders live to the beat. 16 scenes, 24 palettes,

macOS and Windows.

16 macros run the whole thing, and every one is automatable, so the visuals

follow your arrangement instead of sitting still. Accented kicks drive

structural change in the scene. Drop your own images in and the scenes

react to them.

Record straight from the device: video with audio, in vertical, square or

wide, ready to post.

See it running: youtu.be/pbdVjenxoG0

Setup and first look: youtu.be/hUI5bYpDsO4

Photism ships as a folder (the device plus its renderer), so it downloads

from photism.app rather than from here. Unzip it, keep the folder together,

drag the device onto a track. Setup runs about 30 seconds, and the manual

and a five minute walkthrough are included.

Free three-scene edition:
