Hey guys, name is Juan Maguid and I'm super happy to announce that finally, after many months of hard work, my very first software synthesizer MESA Synth is here. After I released my VJ app VKO1, I had lots of really cool looking shaders that I wanted to use for something different than just visuals.

Shaders are basically tiny computer programs that tell the GPU how every single pixel on screen should look like.

MESA uses the VKO shaders, samples them and creates wavetables that then creates sounds with a variety of tools inside the synth.

You can read more about it here, MESA is right now discounted with about 30% for about a month to celebrate the launch.

Hey guys, been a while. 😺👋I'm working on a new shader pack for VKO1 that is heavily inspired by anime visual effects. I really love the challenge of getting as close as possible to "hand drawn" vfx by just using shader code. Still a long way to go, pack will at least contain 12 shaders. Also, adding these to VKO Shader plugins for After Effects, Blender and Final Cut Pro/Motion later on, as a free update.

This forum has always been nice to me, thanks for that. This is my very first software synth, and it has been a blast making it, super proud of it.

Edit all codes have been used, congrats!

Also, if you want to do a review of my synth, just DM me and I will send you a promo code.

Hey guys my name is Juan and I'm the creator of the VJ app VKO1 that also is available as a plugin for After Effects etc etc. I'm not sure if porting this into Blender is even a good idea, but since I've been using Blender for many years, just as a hobby, just fun to develop something for it.

I may or may not release this commercially, for now there is a generous 45 day limit.

Have fun and I would love any constructive feedback or ideas 💡

Hey guys I hope you’re enjoying testing out my very first wave table synthesizer MESA. I need help identifying which version is the one you guys can see in TestFlight. The very latest is this one, 1.0
Build 38 and it adds a pitch bend to the UI controls among other things. The build before that one was even more exciting since it added built in support for using an AI agent like Claude Code or Codex to do all kinds of interesting things to the synth (Mac only since the nature of MCPs).

Would be a shame if you are missing out on these things and if so, I hope
Apple speeds up the beta review.

Here's pitch bend in action. Had it before but not in the UI

Hi guys, this felt like the natural progression for me after VKO1, a wavetable synth engine that takes reactive .metal shaders and turns them into sound. For Mac+iOS, coming when it's ready, probably after the summer.

MESA turns shaders into wavetables — load a .metal pattern, hear its shape. Now it loads two and blends them. The color you pick doesn't just look different — it sounds different.

Really awesome update!
🌈New premium shader pack 👉Daft Cyber (can you guess the primary inspiration?)
🚀Quick add entire shader packs onto banks
🖍App theming (like on Android)
💿VKO1 Player now even better

Out now for iOS MacOS Have a great update

Added a new premium shader pack plus a really neat feature for fast loading shader packs onto banks.

Also, turns out Vulkan is really great for this kind of realtime rendering engine, actually much faster than the Metal engine on iOS, MacOS. Runs like a dream on my budget Redmi Pad Pro 2.

Hey guys, I got inspired last night and thought to myself "hmm it would be rather cool to add the VKO1 shaders directly into After Effects, with controls that makes sense for motion graphics, but of course also has audio reactivity"… 😺💪

I may or may not release this commercially, for now there is a 30 day soft trail, no licens required. All that happens after 30 days is a watermark.

It contains all the shaders that come with VKO1 for iOS/Mac, both the built-in ones and the commercial ones.

It only works on AE 2025/26 Intel + Silicon Macs, it's notarized so it will install fine on your computer.

Have fun! https://temperamento.net/vko1/VKO1-AfterEffects.html

Beatsogram! is one of my favorite apps that I have created, and I thought it was time for some new love. It will be cross-platform, comes with a bunch of new features and it now even has its own promo website 😺👋
