Features
A live visual engine, not a video player
SYQEL reacts to your audio in real time and gives you pro tools to shape, control, brand, and broadcast the result. Here’s what’s under the hood.
The engine
Real-time audio reactivity
A native FFT engine captures your live audio and analyses beat, bass, energy, and frequency hundreds of times a second. Every visual is driven by that signal — what you see is locked to what you hear, with no pre-rendered clips and no drift.
- Beat, RMS, and BPM detection
- Works with system audio, a mic, or any device
- Frame-tight sync, even on improvised sets
AI shader builder
Describe a look. Watch it render.
Type a prompt like “liquid chrome reacting to the kick, deep violet” and SYQEL generates a brand-new, audio-reactive shader in seconds. Refine it, remix existing visuals, and build a private library you can pull from on stage.
- Text-to-shader generation
- Remix and tweak existing visuals
- No GLSL or coding required
Pro output
Broadcast into any rig
Send SYQEL’s output straight into OBS, Resolume, and the venue’s screens over Spout (Windows), Mac Screen Share (macOS), and NDI (network video). No screen-capture hacks, no quality loss — just a clean, reactive video source wherever you need it.
- Spout & Mac Screen Share for local apps
- NDI for networked, multi-machine rigs
- Multi-output and second-screen support
Take control
Run the show, hands-on
Drive SYQEL live with a keyboard, a MIDI controller, or by tuning exactly which frequencies move the visuals.
Keyboard hotkeys
Control the whole visual experience from your keyboard — switch looks, trigger effects, and drive the show without touching the mouse.
MIDI control
Map any MIDI controller to SYQEL. A “learn” mode lets you bind pads, knobs, and faders to visuals, presets, and actions for hands-on, tactile control.
Frequency reactiveness
Tune the visuals to respond to specific frequencies — lows, mids, or highs — so the reactiveness fits your genre. Save a preset for each style you play.
Make it yours
Brand it, curate it, scale it
Put your name on the screen, sequence the perfect set of looks, and push them to every output in the room.
Curated visual playlists
Build and sequence playlists for any event — limit the visualizer to a specific style or run looks in a set order. Creating, selecting, and activating one is easy.
Up to 9 watermark logos
Add up to nine logos and switch between them on the fly — perfect for stages with multiple artists or sponsors.
Scrolling marquee
Display a custom scrolling message — a promo, announcement, or greeting. Easy to set up and even easier to trigger.
Cast to multiple screens
Send the visuals to multiple screens and outputs at once for bigger stages and multi-zone venues.
