What is VKO1 (VisualKO)?
VKO1 is a visual performance app for iPad, iPhone, and Apple Silicon Mac, built for musicians and DJs who need great visuals without a dedicated VJ. Load your clips, set your BPM, and let the app handle the rest while you focus on your set.
Made for performers
You’re playing an instrument or DJing a crowd. VKO1 stays in sync with your music and keeps the visuals moving — no babysitting required.
Automix does the work
MIX mode pulls clips from all 8 banks, auto-switches on the beat, and rotates effects automatically. A full visual set running on its own.
Control from anywhere
iPhone in your pocket, iPad on a stand, MIDI controller on your table, or a Bluetooth game controller in your hand. AirPlay to the big screen — no cables needed.
Master Effects
51 real-time effects
All effects are BPM-synced, have wet/dry control, and run through 19 Metal GPU shaders. One knob applies to everything playing.
Stays in sync
Four ways to lock your visuals to whatever you’re playing — from tap tempo to full Ableton Link session sync.
