Live visuals that glow.

Automatic beat detection

Phosphor listens to the music and finds the tempo, the beat and the downbeat on its own: from a microphone, an audio input, the phones of people watching your session, or the tracks Phosphor itself is playing. Tap tempo, MIDI clock and Ableton Link are there when you want them.

Clips that lock themselves to the beat

Match the beat reads a movie's own visual rhythm (cuts, flashes, movement), works out its tempo and sets the loop and speed so every hit lands on a beat. One click per clip, or Auto-match: every movie you drop into the grid is scanned and locked as it arrives.

Auto show, Surprise, React

Auto show fires the next column every few bars and a Surprise when the music drops; Autopilot walks each layer through its clips. Surprise builds a new look on every layer. React makes effects and generators follow the levels and the beat. Audience play hands timed turns to the crowd's phones. Set it going and watch the room.

Match the beat

One click finds the visual rhythm of a clip (cuts, flashes, movement) and locks it to the music's tempo, so the picture hits on the beat: one hit a beat, every two beats, or two a beat.

Layers and a clip grid

Stack layers with blend modes and opacity, fire clips and whole columns, crossfade or cut, and quantise launches to the beat or the bar. Tap tempo or let Phosphor follow the music.

Effects and shaders

Dozens of built-in effects and generators, a native Rutt-Etra scan processor, master effects over the whole mix, any effect as a clip transition, and ISF shader import (MadMapper materials too). Write your own shaders with live preview.

Map anything

Right-click any slider or button and press Listen: move a MIDI knob, send OSC or press a key and it's mapped. Every control also answers a built-in OSC address with no setup.

Your own control surface

Place buttons, toggles, faders and XY pads, and make each one drive many controls at once with its own ranges. Use it from your phone or iPad over Wi-Fi.

Projection mapping

Drag corners straight on the projector, warp with a mesh, run the picture along a line, cut masks, soft-edge blend between projectors, colour-correct each output and send each one to its own screen.

Everything moves

LFOs, audio levels and bands, beat, random and step sequencers can drive any value, synced to the tempo.

Movies, music, cameras, streams

Hardware-decoded video with reverse, ping-pong and beat loops; sound files as clips, with the visuals reacting to the music you play; live cameras, network streams, Syphon and NDI (Mac app).

Stream and record

Stream to YouTube and Twitch at the same time (RTMPS) while recording a copy, record ProRes, HEVC or Hap straight from Phosphor, or send to OBS and other apps over Syphon and NDI (Mac app).

Let the audience play

Put a QR code on the output; phones that scan it take turns at your clips and controls for a set time, with the player's name on screen. No app to install.

Light on your computer

A single modern GPU engine (Metal, WebGPU) that renders a full show in well under a millisecond, so your fans stay quiet.

The clip grid, the way you know it

Layers × columns with banks, column triggers, beat and bar quantised launch, transitions and blend modes, autopilot, trigger modes, per-clip settings and effects, layer groups and a crossfader. Imports your Resolume compositions.

Modular control, everything mappable

Dockable panels and layouts, control surfaces you build, LFO / audio / step-sequencer modulation on any value, MIDI and OSC learn with feedback, OSC Query, ISF shaders, Syphon and NDI. Imports VDMX project media.

Mapping made easy

Drag corners on the projector, mesh warp, line slices, 3D models (OBJ), masks with soft edges, edge blending, per-output colour, many outputs and slices, venue presets, Art-Net / sACN LED mapping and moving heads.
