NUCLYR syncs video effects, visuals, and camera switching to music tempo in real time, with the Beat Sync Library adding 930 themed clips for DJs, VJs, and streamers.
Purpose and Setup
NUCLYR is a real-time visual performance tool designed to keep visuals locked to your music’s beat. It operates as a stand-alone application for venue ambiance or integrates into live performance workflows via MIDI, StreamDeck, and DAW support. The bundled Beat Sync Library adds 930 beat-gridded clips across 31 themed sets, including Animeters (audio meters), Beat Mechanic (industrial), Shaper Shifter (morphing geometry), and Dark Matters (moody textures).
The all-inclusive license also provides the Pro Visuals Vault with 300 visuals. Output routing is flexible: send video to LED panels, projectors, OBS, or NDI-enabled devices. You can also stream directly to platforms like Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, and Mixcloud. The patent-pending playback engine automatically syncs clips, transitions, and effects to tempo, creating a unique rhythm-driven experience for each performance.
Key Capabilities
NUCLYR offers 300 audio and MIDI-driven effects and shaders, plus five music and beat-sync methods. Assign any parameter to audio frequency bands, looping or one-shot envelopes, auto-pilot sequencing, or playlist transition sync. A MIDI New Beat Tracker extracts tempo from your music to ensure everything stays in sync. The notation-based UI allows musical adjustments based on beats or time.
The tool supports unlimited Scenes, each composed of layers, effects, and cameras, with instant live recall. It also includes an unlimited number of video grids and effects layers, tempo-based automation, and camera switching. A dedicated logo layer lets you brand your output automatically at a chosen frequency. Automation Mode filters visuals to a playlist that stays beat-locked, while Performance Mode offers deep layering and sequencing in the layer stack.
Workflow and Integration
Use the powerful media browser to tag, filter, and instantly recall themed playlists for specific tracks, events, or venue atmospheres. Trigger visuals using hotkeys, MIDI, or StreamDeck, and route output to OBS, Resolume, DAWs, or streaming platforms via Spout, Syphon, or NDI. You can also connect directly to LED panels, projectors, and displays. Unlimited USB and NDI cameras can be switched based on tempo with effects.
Integration with VJ software, DJ software, DAWs, and MIDI hardware is straightforward. The tool is compatible with all StreamDeck products, allowing you to create mini video buttons for instant triggering. You can record and stream directly from inside NUCLYR. In Automation Mode, you can focus on other tasks while visuals remain locked to the beat, ideal for hands-free operation.
Practical Applications
NUCLYR suits live performance environments such as club booths, festival rigs, and livestream control rooms. DJs can use it to add dynamic, beat-synced visuals to their sets, while VJs can layer multiple videos and effects for immersive shows. Streamers can enhance their broadcasts with tempo-synced visuals, using hotkeys or StreamDeck to trigger scenes in real time.
For venue operators, the tool can set atmosphere in stand-alone mode, projecting visuals on LED panels or projectors. The bundled libraries, including the Beat Sync Library, provide a wide variety of themes—from industrial rhythm to clean vector lines—so you can match visuals to the mood of any event. The include Pro Visuals Vault ensures you have 300 ready visuals to sync immediately, reducing prep time.
