When your show is run you need to be part of it, not buried in your computer. Bazik has been created for easy live performances. If you don’t have time to play with it, automation can help you to sync with music effortlessly. Each user can choose the level of interactivity he won’t.

Bazik can work automatically with his powerful engine which analyzes the music to create variations alone.

Click the top left buttons to choose which action must be automated.

There are 2 levels from automation. Click the circle next to “auto” for choose the level “Soft” or “Normal”. Observe the speed of blinking which changes according to the level.

The “Soft” level will make variations softer and the changes will be less frequent than in “Normal” mode. Try to understand !

You can adjust the input level with the upper left equalizer.

You can adjust Bass/Mid/Treble to obtain the render you wish. These adjustments are taken into account for automations.

When your application is activated, you can manage your presets in the Presets panel.

You drag and drop any thumbnail to reorganize the list.

You can Active or Unactive each preset. Roll over with key W to unactive. Roll over with key Q to active.

You can add shader files (.frag).

Simply drag and drop them in the Presets panel.
