Arkestra
Arkestra is a Mac-native real-time audio-visual performance app for electronic musicians, VJs, DJs, and creators who want visuals that follow the music instead of looping in the background. It reacts to live audio, Ableton Link, MIDI, and OSC, with a built-in 3D renderer, ISF shader engine, timeline editor, and ILDA laser output.
The app includes LFOs, sequencers, scenes, MIDI mapping, and an Echo AU/VST3 plugin that sends audio analysis from Ableton Live directly into Arkestra. Arkestra Studio AI can generate ISF shaders and visual chains from text prompts.
Arkestra is free to download with all effects and shaders unlocked for building and previewing. Pro adds external screens, Syphon output, unlimited high-resolution recording, MIDI Clock, and audio-in-video capture. It is built by rhythmic.visions and requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.
