SousaVFX

SousaFX integrates with SousaVFX via five audio-rate control signals to provide visual effects for LED sousaphone bells. SousaVFX may run on the same computer as SousaFX, or on a separate computer.

Note

Other VFX apps such as VDMX, Resolume, or Touchdesigner would also play nicely with SousaFX’s control signals.
