Works with your setup

Free, live visuals that react to your Mixxx mix

SYQEL pairs naturally with Mixxx — two powerful free tools that together give you a full DJ and visual performance setup without spending anything upfront.

Free to start · Windows & macOS · No card required

Mixxx has built a loyal following among DJs who value open-source software, controller flexibility, and a zero-cost entry point to professional mixing. SYQEL fits that ethos: free to start, no subscription required on the base tier, and it works by reacting to your audio output rather than requiring any proprietary integration. For home studio DJs building their first streaming setup, scratch artists practicing at home, and performers who play with a variety of controllers, SYQEL adds a reactive visual layer without changing how Mixxx is configured or used.

How SYQEL works with Mixxx

Run SYQEL next to Mixxx

No scripts, no configuration inside Mixxx. SYQEL is a separate app that listens to the audio your system or interface outputs while Mixxx plays.

Pick your audio device

Select the same output device Mixxx is routing to. SYQEL's FFT engine reads the signal and starts reacting to beat, energy, and frequency immediately.

Choose how to display the output

Fullscreen on a second monitor, or send visuals over Spout, Mac Screen Share, or NDI into OBS for a streaming backdrop that moves with the music.

Reactive without any Mixxx config

Mixxx does not need to be touched. SYQEL reads the live audio output, so your controller mapping and effects setup stay exactly as they are.

Windows and macOS covered

Like Mixxx, SYQEL runs on both Windows and macOS, so the combination works wherever your DJ setup lives.

Thousands of presets, AI generation too

Pick from an extensive library of reactive presets or describe a look and let SYQEL generate a custom shader for your stream or event.

Built for streamers and small venues

Feed the visual output into OBS over Spout or Mac Screen Share and you have a polished stream visual without any additional hardware.

Frequently asked questions

Does SYQEL integrate with Mixxx's open-source API or controller mappings?

No integration is needed. SYQEL reacts to the audio output, not Mixxx's internals. That means it works with every Mixxx version and every controller mapping without any extra setup.

Can I use SYQEL and Mixxx together for a completely free streaming setup?

Yes. Mixxx is free, SYQEL is free to start, and OBS is free. The three together give you a fully functional DJ and visual livestreaming rig at no cost before you decide to upgrade any component.

What do I get if I upgrade SYQEL to Pro?

Pro adds custom branding (logo, marquee, colors), AI visual generation, and professional output via Spout, Mac Screen Share, and NDI — the tools that take the setup from bedroom stream to a paying gig.
