Live Visuals

Live visuals that follow the music.

Band Amigo creates the pictures for your screens itself, live during the show. 160 motifs in 11 groups, from space and nature to disco, stage and 3D. They flow into each other and move with your song.

Three screens with live visuals, plus the lyrics. Each clip shows which motif plays when.
  • DynamicAs the song gets louder, the picture gets stronger. The kick drum makes it pump.
  • Smooth transitionsMotifs morph into each other, at random if you like. Nothing repeats.
  • Lyrics on topThe sung line appears over the visuals, with effects that match the music.
  • FreezeOne click renders the visuals into a video, faster than real time. That spares the graphics card.
