MotionHub

Free & Open Source - Desktop macOS App

Your music.
Your visuals.
In real time.

Feed MotionHub your own images, videos, and GIFs. Its AI pipeline extracts your colors, textures, and motion to generate visuals that are unmistakably yours, reacting to your mix in real time.

What it does

Your visuals, Your identity

Drop in your own media and Motion Hub's AI pipeline builds a visual world from your colors, textures, and motion. Perform it live with Ableton Push. Twist the parameters in real time while every visual reacts to your set.

Engine

Metal-Powered Rendering

Multi-pass shader pipeline with 8 procedural pattern types from organic flow to glitch to particle clouds. 30 FPS at 1080p on Apple Silicon, locked to a 33ms frame budget.

Audio

Audio-Reactive Modulation

Real-time FFT analysis splits your audio into bass, mid, and high frequency bands with asymmetric attack/decay smoothing. Every visual parameter responds to what's coming through the speakers.

Control

Ableton Push + OSC + MIDI

Hands-on control via Ableton Push 2 with direct CC mapping. OSC support via Max for Live devices. Or use the on-screen knobs and keyboard shortcuts, your call!

AI

Inspiration-Driven Pipeline

Upload images, videos, or GIFs. An AI preprocessing pipeline extracts color palettes via K-means clustering, generates edge-detected textures, and analyzes motion patterns all before the first beat drops.
