I have been working on this for way longer than I want to admit, and the learning curve has been pretty crazy. But I finally feel its in an ok enough state to show you guys, here, on these hallowed grounds.

Its called CYMATA (cymatics + cellualar automata) and its built for touchscreens. Ive been messing around with CA for years now and I have been using it so much in my music visuals it was sort of becoming addictive. There was something about watching it change with the music that tickled the brain in such a good way. I dont think Im an ASMR guy but thats probably the best analogy: ASMR for the eyballs.

And about a year ago I bought a new LG TV, and the screensavers were disappointingly BAD. So I had the idea to try to put my music visuals into an app. CA can just keep going forever and we will never see the same pattern twice.

Anyway, about the features:

Its basically a trippy VJ toy for handheld iOS devices, or runs independently on tvOS

• it works independently on tvos with Siri remote too, (iphones turn into a remote to paint on tvos with your ios device)
• has a built in player for Apple Music, Soundcloud and radio
• 12 channel audio analysis
• Audio reactive drum pad for Tibetan bowls and handpan for healing frequencies
• Clock and message display
• Record Screen in/out
• Unique glitch camera feature (camera CA glitching!)
• ASCII, dither, 3D and a bunch of effects
• Customized brushes including sprite brush
• A growing collection of paintable shaders
• And a bunch of other useless stuff you dont need.

Originally I released it with a free tier, long story short it wasnt sustainable. So Im charging subscription model to keep the online audio analysis working.

There is a FREE trial for the first week, if you're not feeling it you can cancel any time.

• The price is $19.99 for yearly subscription
• Or if you prefer to go monthly : $7.99

I really hope you can get something out of this! I feels a bit like preaching to the choir here, I'm very nervous to hear what you think! I started an instagram that is growing steadily since I have started posting regularly.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for shaders or ways to improve the app.

Cheers,

I built an Apple Music visualizer that you can actually interact with

I’ve been working on an app called Cymata that turns Apple Music into real-time generative visuals. The pixels react to the music, but you can also paint into it and watch the brush strokes "dance" around.

It works on iPhone and iPad, and there’s also an Apple TV version so you can put the visuals on a larger screen. It works with any music platform actually.

I’ve been building this for a long time. Please try it out, let me know what you think.

Its fully audio reactive and can give some pretty crazy visuals, made with touch screen input as main focus. Let me know what you think! Its called CYMATA

Its like a cross between a VJ tool and relaxing doodle game for apple devices. Its free to try. Please tell me what you think!
