A rhizome has no center and no fixed order. It grows from the middle, in every direction at once.

Rhizomium is a modular GPU node environment built for real-time generative visuals and evolving fields — a place where synthesis, structure, and growth coexist.

/ features — 03 modules

01

WebGPU Core

Compute and render on the GPU. Thousands of nodes evaluated per frame, no dropped frames.

02

Modular Nodes

Patch signals into structure. Every node is a living, editable field you can rewire mid-flow.

03

Real-time Fields

Feedback, noise, and growth that evolve continuously as you perform — never the same frame twice.

A single continuous take of the editor at work — nodes pulled from the search palette and wired into a graph, parameters driven live from expressions and a MIDI controller, and every change landing in the preview as it is made. Nothing here is pre-rendered: the preview is the piece, running.

/ controls — drive it live

Patch any signal to any parameter. Rhizomium listens to your hardware, your software and the room itself.

Map a knob to feedback gain, a fader to growth rate, or the low end of a track to node density. Controls are first-class inputs — bind them once and perform without touching a mouse.

The MIDI Controllers panel: a connected Impact LX25+, a CC bound to a node parameter, and live MIDI activity.

MIDI

Hardware control

Plug in any MIDI controller and learn a mapping in one click. Knobs, faders and pads bind straight to node parameters.

The OSC Receiver panel: connected to the bridge on UDP 9000, incoming channels listed, one bound to a node parameter.

OSC

Network messaging

Send and receive OSC over the network. Drive fields from TouchOSC, Max, a phone or another machine on stage.

The Audio panel analysing system audio: level, band, brightness and drum channels reading live values.

Audio Analyzer

Sound-reactive fields

FFT, beat and level analysis from any audio input. Route bands to any parameter so the visuals move with the music.

The VJ Control panel: scenes with crossfade transitions, beat-synced BPM, and master opacity and speed.

VJ Controller

Live performance deck

Cue scenes, crossfade fields and trigger presets from a dedicated VJ layout built for the stage, not the studio.

  • +Pro Artist Panel Included with Cloude. Not yet sold on its own — there is no add-on checkout.
  • +Server-Side Rendering Not available yet, on any plan. It needs GPUs we do not have, and a GPU costs the same idle as busy — so rather than fold a guess into a subscription, it will be priced on its own once there is a machine behind it.
