SYQEL Desktop
The engine that started it all.
Ideal for VJs and venues who want full creative control and customization.
Five feeds of audio-reactive visuals — worlds, shaders, scenes, Milkdrop, and your own AI creations — with playlists that run the show, your branding on the wall, and pro broadcast output into any rig. Used by 25,000+ DJs, VJs, venues and listeners. Free to try on Mac and Windows — or in your browser, nothing to install.
One library, five kinds of visual
Filter the show to one style or let the program roam across all of them — every feed reacts to the kick, the bass, and the hats separately, live.
Worlds
3D journeys that travel with the music — terrain, tunnels, and skies that build when the track does.
Shaders
80 hand-tuned looks in four collections — Ambient, Party, Chill Out, and Worship — each reacting to kick, bass, and hats separately.
Scenes
16 real-time 3D scenes, from synthwave terrain to VR tunnels — rendered live, never a video loop.
Milkdrop
The classic preset universe, built in. Import your own collection and it plays offline.
Image Visuals
Your AI-generated images, animated by AI-written shader motion — visuals nobody else has.
…and the AI builder makes feed six yours alone.
10–50 new visuals a month, depending on plan.
Everything a VJ deck needs
Two AI builders
Describe a look and get a brand-new audio-reactive shader, or generate an image and let the AI animate it. Refine either without spending a generation — and keep everything you make.
Broadcast, NDI & Spout
A clean output window that mirrors the show from the first frame — capture it in OBS, or send it over the network with NDI and into Resolume with Spout on Windows.
MIDI & keyboard control
Bind any visual, playlist, or moment to your controller or keys — one control, one action, no double bookings. Cut the show by hand when you want the wheel.
Playlists that run the show
Line up looks from any feed into sets — picking one starts it, auto-advance carries it, and the program runs from warm-up to peak time without you.
Your brand on the wall
Nine logo slots with per-slot position and size, hotkey-switchable mid-set, plus marquee text with a live preview. Paid tiers drop the SYQEL watermark entirely.
Follows you — and works offline
Your visuals, playlists, and hotkeys sync to your account: sign in on another machine or in your browser and the show is there. On desktop, everything keeps playing with zero connectivity.

In any Chromium browser
vj.syqel.com
Sign in → your library syncs in → pick a source → perform. The stage, the builders, and your playlists — no download between you and the show.
Free to try. Subscribe to perform.
Trying costs nothing — the whole app runs with a SYQEL logo on the output. A Pro subscription removes it and adds 10 AI visuals a month; Deluxe and Elite raise that to 20 and 50 — or grab a one-night Gig pass for $20.
Make your sound look as good as it feels.
