glitch
the deepest pixel sorter anywhere
Pathed pixel sorting along lines, circles, spirals, Perlin fields, sweeps, rain, and Kármán vortices — every path composes as an ordinary layer you can mask, keyframe, and stack. GPU-native.
features
visual effects that stay live
madphase is a compositing studio built around one editable stack. These are the instruments it's known for — the rest is waiting in the app.
13 domains · 66 effect families · 186 sub-modes · one stack
keyframes
any parameter animates
Every number on every panel is a keyframe target. This one is live: real keyframes on a real parameter, and the picture is madphase output — the curve decides which frame you see. Press play, or scrub the timeline.

00.00 ease in-out · loop 02.00
keyframe anything
Sort thresholds, warp power, grain, a mask's feather, a light's position — if you can set it, you can animate it. Easing curves and loop presets that actually loop.
audio drives anything
Audio-reactive isn't a per-effect feature — it's the animation system. Any parameter can follow level, a frequency band, or beats, from a file, a video soundtrack, or a live mic.
the preview is the export
The timeline you scrub is the file you render — frame for frame, to stills, gif, mp4, mov, or webm.
audio + keyframes
the timeline stays visible
A real stack, real curves, and audio-driven motion in the same place as the image.
signal
run your image through a mixing desk
Sonification reads pixels as audio and plays them through phasers, flangers, and compressors; FFT EQ sculpts the image spectrum with band gains. Treating pictures as signal is the house specialty — no other studio does it.
signal
the image as a carrier wave
Frequency modulation, scanline refraction, spectral tears and smears — broadcast-era signal physics applied to pixels, editable until export.
organic
grow patterns out of your picture
Reaction–diffusion seeded by your own pixels: spots, stripes, labyrinths, and coral that follow the structure of the source instead of sitting on top of it.
particle
particles that render like film
Deterministic GPU particle fields — sand, embers, magnetic filings, cymatic patterns driven by bass. Deterministic means the export is the preview, frame for frame, every time.
transform
relight flat pixels in 3d
3D augment builds height, normals, and material from the image itself, then lets you move the light. Impasto relief from a photograph, no modelling.
generative
or start from nothing at all
Pattern generators and expression-driven procedural shaders are sources like any other layer — a whole composition can be built without importing a single file.
66 effect families · 186 sub-modes · every one included, on every plan

the system
one stack under all of it.
The instruments are the surface. These are the rules every effect obeys.
stack
Everything above composes as a layer — reorder, group, mask, and blend, nothing bakes in.
keyframes
Any parameter animates: easing, loop presets, and a real timeline shared by stills, video, and generated layers.
audio
Level, frequency bands, or beats drive any parameter — from a file, a video soundtrack, or a live mic.
masks
Every mask is itself an effect stack — grow a mask out of anything the studio can make.
ai
Image, video, edit, upscale, and outpaint — bring your own key, results land as ordinary layers.
export
Stills, gif, mp4, mov, webm — the preview is the export, frame for frame.
