Blur

---

A blur effect with three modes: "Blur / Bloom", "Bokeh" and "Sharpen".

• Blur / Bloom: Simple blur when "Source Gain" is set to 0. Increasing "Source Gain" and "Threshold" creates a bloom effect, causing a soft glow around bright areas in an image, emulating light diffusion.
• Bokeh: Replicates the aesthetic of out-of-focus regions in photography, resulting in soft circular or hexagonal shapes.
• Sharpen: Increases edge contrasts for more defined images.

Blur Bloom

Parameters

• Thresshold: Pixels with a brightness above the threshold will be processed as if they were light sources, resulting in specular highlights/bokeh balls.
• Softness: Softens the threshold, resulting in a more gradual transition around the threshold value.
• Source Gain: Sets the gain of the original, unprocessed, video.
• Size X: Sets the blur size for the X axis.
• Size Y: Sets the blur size for the Y axis.
• Link Size: When enabled, the blur size for the X-axis also influences the blur size for the Y-axis. The Size Y parameter will be disabled.
• Blur Angle: Sets the angle of the blur directionality.

• Offset: Offsets the set shape on the X and Y axes.

Displacement

---

A displacement effect with displacement map input. By default it displaces its input based on its own overall luminance or a color channel. But it can also use the output of another track, otherwise known as a sidechain, as a displacement source. This makes Displacement a very versatile effect.

Displacement Map

Parameters

• Sidechain Source: Sets which track to use as a source for calculating the amount of displacement per pixel.
• Sidechain Tapping Point: Selects the point at which the signal of the sidechain signal is tapped.
• Component: Sets which aspect of the sidechain to use for displacement.

• Shift: Acts as a counterweight for the displacement amount, moving pixels into the opposite direction of that set in the Displace coordinates.
• Wrap Mode: Sets the Wrap Mode:
  • Wrap: Pixels wrap around the window borders, creating a tiled effect.
  • Mirror: Pixels are mirrored beyond the window borders, creating a reflection effect.
  • Clamp: Pixels are stretched beyond the window borders.

Feedback

---

Copies the previous frame onto the current frame, resulting in an echo effect. While copying, the frame can be scaled horizontally and vertically. This results in the echos moving inward or outward.

Feedback Loop

Parameters

• Video From: Sets the feedback video to feed into the feedback loop. "Internal" feeds the output of this device back into its input. "Sidechain" feeds the output of the selected sidechain into its input.
• Input Gain: This adjusts the brightness of the incoming video before entering the feedback loop. Note: when this value is 0, no video will enter the effect at all, resulting in no visible output.
• Wrap Mode: Sets the Wrap Mode:
  • Wrap: Pixels wrap around the window borders, creating a tiled effect.
  • Mirror: Pixels are mirrored beyond the window borders, creating a reflection effect.
  • Clamp: Pixels are stretched beyond the window borders.

Feedback Transform

Graphical User Interface

• Hovering over the "+" shape will allow for selecting and adjusting the Position X/Y.
• Hovering over the "X" shape will allow for selecting and adjusting the Anchor Point X/Y.
• Hovering over the arrowhead will allow changing the rotation.
• Hovering over an area within the blue frame will allow for selecting and adjusting the Scale X/Y.

• Cente: Sets the horizontal and vertical center point from which to mirror the video.

Pixelate

---

A simple device used to downsample the video resolution. Interpolate gradually to smooth out the pixelation effect.

Parameters

• Horizontal: Sets the pixelation amount in the horizontal direction.
• Vertical: Sets the pixelation amount in the vertical direction.
• Link: Links the vertical value to the horizontal value.
• Interpolate: When enabled, pixels are linearly interpolated and thus have a smooth color transition between them.

Properties

---

The Properties device contains a collection of settings for tracks or rack chains which are not directly available in the interface of Ableton Live. In this way, Properties behaves differently than other devices: only one Properties device can exist on a track or in a chain. When there are two Properties devices on the same track, only the left of the two will be used. The other device will display a warning.

Blend Mode

Parameters

• Blend Mode: Blend mode is a setting that defines the way the outputs of tracks are mixed (more detail here). This setting affects the entire track or chain on which the Properties device is added.
• Blending: Sets the blending method. RGB mixes colors with linear interpolation over the RGB channels. Oklab mixes the colors according to the Oklab color space, which generally produces more uniform looking transitions in terms of perceived brightness and color.

Muting

Parameters

• Mute Audio: Stops audio from passing through the device.
• Mute Video: Mutes all video processing on the chain or track.

Chain settings

Parameters

• Link Volume to Opacity: Enabled by default, but can be switched off when it is not desired to have the volume fader of a track or chain control the opacity of the video output as well.
• Video Follows Audio Routing: Enabled by default, but can be switched off when it is not desired to have the video signal follow the audio routings in Live. While disabled, the video output of the track will always be routed to the Master track.
• Use 32bit FBOs: By default Videosync uses 16bit FBOs (Frame Buffer Objects). This is fine for most use cases, though when exceptional color depth is required on a track or chain, you have the option to switch to 32bit FBOs. This is great for getting smoother gradients between colors. However, this setting affects ALL devices that live in the signal chain (including racks), possibly increasing the GPU workload by a substantial amount.
• Scaling: (Audio Tracks only) Defines the scaling mode for this track. Scale to Fit scales the video to fit the window while keeping the original aspect ratio. Scale to Fill scales the video to completely cover the window while respecting the original aspect ratio. Stretch to Fill stretches the video to completely fill the window, not respecting original aspect ratio. Original does not alter the video in any way.
• Video Delay: (Audio Tracks only) Sets a delay on the playing video to correct possible latency when using video hardware. This value acts as the 'Track Delay' setting in Live, except the 'Video Delay' is only applied to playing video files, while the 'Track Delay' only delays audio.
• Send Type: (Return Tracks only) Sets the 'Pre/Post Toggle' value of the sends like the buttons above the master track's fader. This button must be set exactly like Live's native buttons to get the expected behaviour.

Scope

The Properties device has different settings available depending on the type of track/chain it is added on. Also, some settings are not applicable for chains, and are disabled when the Properties device is added onto a chain.

Since multiple chains can exist in a track, chains can have different settings than their parent track. Chains within a track can be blended with different settings than those used to blend their parent track with other tracks. Therefore, a Properties device's scope does not leave the chain. You can put a Properties device on each chain in an Audio Effect Rack and also put a Properties device on their parent track without conflicts.

Status

---

The Status device does not have any interactive controls, since its purpose is to display the connection state, frames per second and maximum frame time, as well as a history graph to monitor the performance over a longer period of time. This is especially useful when running Videosync in Networked Mode, if you want to keep an eye on Videosync's performance on the machine that runs Live.

Log mode

Parameters

• Clear: Resets and clears the log.

Graph mode

Parameters

• Clear: Resets and clears both history graphs.

Transform

• Fill: This controls the size of the visible area of the voronoi cells. In Circular mode, it determines how much of the cell is visible starting from the voronoi points outward. In Polygonal mode, the Size parameter determines the size of the voronoi intersection borders: smaller sizes result in larger borders.
• Displace: This defines the voronoi cell displacement relative to its original hexagonal state.**

• Blue: This sets the Tint Color Blue amount. The areas in which colors bleed into each other can be tinted according to the Tint parameters.
• Tint: This sets the alpha amount for the Tint color. The areas in which colors bleed into each other can be tinted according to the Tint parameters. Alpha amount defines how much of this color is visible.
• Area: This determines the size of the tinted portion within the color bleeding domains.
• Shape: This determines which subsection of the color bleeding domains is tinted.
• Feather: This controls how smooth the gradient is from the regular voronoi patterns into the Bleed Tint Color.

Density

Parameters

• Amount: This determines which percentage of the voronoi cells are fully visible.
• Minimum: This determines the minimum visibility of the voronoi cells.
• Maximum: This determines the maximum visibility of the voronoi cells.
• Ramp: This determines the relative transition time between minimum and maximum visibility values.
• Rate: This controls the rate at which the visibility values alternate between the minimum and maximum values within voronoi cells.

Color

Parameters

• Range: This determines the variety of voronoi cell colors.
• Hue: This sets the hue offset of voronoi cell colors.
• Sat: This sets the saturation of voronoi cell colors.
• Bright: This sets the brigthness of voronoi cell colors.
• Rate: This controls the rate at which color values within voronoi cells alternate.

Wavvy

---

A displacement video effect capable of enriching imagery by adding a variety of organically flowing and morphing distortions. Wavvy's distortions create gaps in the incoming video, which are filled by default. To reveal the gaps, lower the Wrap Gain amount.

Parameters

• Amount: Sets the amount of the Wavvy effect.
• Scale: Sets the scale for the Wavvy effect.
• Edge: This determines the amount of interpolation in the displacement pattern, with higher values giving more angular results.
• Level of Detailx: Switches between a less detailed, lighter processing and detailed, complex processing.
• Wrap Mode:
  • Wrap: Pixels wrap around the window borders, creating a tiled effect.
  • Mirror: Pixels are mirrored beyond the window borders, creating a reflection effect.
  • Clamp: Pixels are stretched beyond the window borders.
• Wrap Gain: Sets the gain of pixels beyond window borders, those affected by the Wrap Mode setting.
• Motion: Adds motion to the displacement pattern.
• Movement: Adds directional movement to the displacement pattern.
• Angle: Sets the angle of the movement direction.
