Help and compatibility

Sources

• Files: common browser-supported audio, video, and image formats; files remain local.
• Microphone: live audio with automatic calibration.
• Camera: live frame and optional microphone analysis.
• Tab or system audio: choose a browser tab or screen and enable shared audio when your browser offers it.
• Generative field: a built-in media-free starting point.

Files larger than 500 MB may reduce performance. Files above 1.5 GB are declined. Codec support comes from your browser and operating system.

Studio controls

Choose among six worlds, then open Studio Settings for palette presets, motion, geometry density, trails, frequency focus, render quality, reduced motion, high contrast, and sensory-safe output. Journey mode automatically rotates worlds or saved Visions. Performance mode hides the interface.

Keyboard and MIDI

• Space pause or resume.
• 1–6 select worlds.
• R reimagine.
• P enter or exit Performance mode.
• Ctrl/Cmd+Z undo and Ctrl/Cmd+Y redo.

When Web MIDI is enabled, notes 36–41 select worlds, modulation controls sensitivity, expression controls motion, and controller 2 changes geometry density.

Exports

Stills export as PNG. Recording uses MP4 when the browser supports an appropriate recorder and WebM otherwise. Choose landscape, square, or portrait output; 720p or 1080p; and 30 or 60 FPS. Long, high-resolution recordings can use substantial memory.

Compatibility

Current Chrome and Edge desktop versions provide the broadest file, live-capture, Web MIDI, and recording support. Firefox and Safari can run the core instrument, but capture sources and codecs vary. Use the Browser Preflight button on the welcome screen for the exact current device.

Known limitations

• Protected streaming services may prevent direct audio analysis or recording.
• System audio is not exposed by every browser or operating system.
• MP4 recording is used only when the browser reports support.
• Large files and 1080p/60 FPS recording may trigger adaptive low-power mode.
• Recipe links reproduce visual settings but intentionally exclude source media.
