Synthesoft Flashback [ Update 7/1/2023 ]

Flashback is an interactive, audio-reactive, generative art platform that dynamically creates mesmerizing visuals in real-time. Equipped with a powerful user interface, it enables on-the-fly editing and customization of visuals by leveraging an extensive collection of adaptable color and pattern generators and effects construced with controls which can be configured with customized ranges and sources (timing, periods, RNG, waveforms, audio). Flashback allows users to save and load presets, edit/run custom pixel shaders, and edit/curate color palettes.It is code signed, uses a standard Windows installer, and can be removed through the Windows Apps and Features interface.

Flashback is free to download and use.  If you enjoy using it and would like to contribute to additions and improvements, please consider becoming a patron. 

System Requirements:

Required: Microsoft Windows 10 / 11 (x64)
Reccomended: A newer, gaming-targeted video adapter with updated drivers and OpenGL support.  OpenGL driver support is required in order to run presets that contain modules that use OpenGL (KOB Animator & GLSL Shader).  If a suitable driver is not installed then presets that use these modules will be disabled.
