VISUALIZERS

51 visualizers

Every visualizer reads the pattern itself: the notes, the instruments and the effects, so it knows what is coming. That is why everything lands right on the note. Four are free; the rest come with Modulo Plus. Every picture below is a real frame from the app, playing the demo song Neon Harbour.

Demoscene and retro

Copper bars, scopes, plasma and tunnels: the effects of the demos and trackers of the time, driven by the pattern.

    Ribbon

    A small line figure rides a single line, and the song draws the line: every obstacle and stunt sits on its note.

Watch them with your own music

On iPhone, Android and the Mac one bar picks what the stage shows: the tracker first, then every visualizer, full screen with one tap. Without Plus, a Plus visualizer plays for a second first, so you can see what it is.
