FLUX CANVAS
MIDI-Controllable Audio-Visual Performance Instrument

Introducing Flux Canvas — a MIDI-controllable audio-visual performance instrument built for artists, performers, and creators who demand more from their stage. Drive advanced real-time 3D visuals directly from any MIDI controller, shape every parameter to your workflow, and perform with a system that moves as fast as you do.

Live 3D Graphics.
Total Control.

Flux Canvas renders advanced real-time 3D graphics that respond directly to MIDI input. Every visual parameter — geometry, colour, motion, intensity — is addressable from your controller. The result is a performance instrument where the visuals are as expressive and playable as any instrument on stage.

Feature Architecture

3D Render Engine

Advanced real-time 3D graphics engine with support for complex geometry, particle systems, dynamic lighting, and post-processing effects — all running at full frame rate during live performance.

MIDI Mapping

Map any MIDI CC, note, velocity, aftertouch, or pitchbend to any visual parameter. Full learn mode, per-parameter scaling and curve shaping, with unlimited simultaneous mappings.

Modular & Moddable

A fully open modular architecture. Load custom visual modules, swap built-in components, create your own, and share presets. Designed from the ground up to be extended.

Preset System

Comprehensive preset library covering a wide range of visual styles and performance contexts. Full save, load, and export support. Presets respond to MIDI velocity and expression.

Cross-Platform

Native builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Consistent behaviour and full feature parity across all platforms. Runs standalone — no DAW required, though DAW sync is supported.

Easy to Use

Designed for performers, not just programmers. An intuitive interface makes it fast to get from MIDI controller to live 3D visuals, with deep configurability available when you want it.
