Audio-reactive visuals built for Bitwig Studio producers
SYQEL reacts to Bitwig Studio's audio output in real time, giving your modular-influenced, live-performance sessions a visual layer that keeps up with the music.
Free to start · Windows & macOS · No card required
Bitwig Studio attracts producers who are drawn to modularity, live performance, and systems-thinking — the same instincts that drive The Grid's generative synthesis and Bitwig's deep automation capabilities. SYQEL brings a compatible philosophy to the visual side: an engine that reacts to the live audio output without predefined timelines, that adapts to generative sequences and improvised arrangements just as readily as it does to composed tracks. For Bitwig users who perform live or create content, it provides a visual component as flexible and reactive as the music itself.
How SYQEL works with Bitwig Studio
Open SYQEL next to Bitwig Studio
No extensions or changes inside Bitwig. SYQEL reads the audio Bitwig routes to your system output or interface while you work.
Reactive engine runs with your session
Play clips in the Arranger or Clip Launcher, run a generative Grid patch, or perform live — SYQEL's FFT engine reacts to the audio output of any of it.
Output to a display, stream, or stage rig
Fullscreen for a second monitor, or route visuals into OBS or Resolume via Spout, Mac Screen Share, or NDI for live performance and broadcast.
Reacts to generative and live output
Bitwig's Grid and Clip Launcher produce audio that no timeline could predict. SYQEL reacts to what actually plays, not a scripted loop.
AI-generated visuals for each project
Describe the sonic character of a patch or track and SYQEL builds a custom audio-reactive shader to match it in seconds.
Modular-friendly visual library
Explore thousands of presets from abstract generative shaders to geometric forms — a natural complement to Bitwig's modular aesthetic.
Live performance and broadcast output
Spout, Mac Screen Share, and NDI make SYQEL a clean visual source for Bitwig-driven live sets at clubs, theaters, and online.
Frequently asked questions
Does SYQEL react to Bitwig's modular audio from The Grid?
Yes. SYQEL reads the audio output at the system or interface level, so any audio Bitwig produces — including complex The Grid patches — drives the reactive engine without any special configuration.
Can Bitwig users who perform live use SYQEL on stage?
Yes. Bitwig performers who use a laptop on stage can run SYQEL on the same machine or a second device, feeding visuals into a venue AV system or Resolume via Spout, Mac Screen Share, or NDI.
Does SYQEL integrate with Bitwig's audio modulation system?
SYQEL operates at the audio output level, not inside Bitwig's modulation system. It does not receive Bitwig modulators directly, but the modulated audio those affect is what drives the visual engine — the results are still closely tied to what the modulation is doing.
