What’s new
Version 1.32 · Updated October 22, 2026
NEW: Interactive guides. Learn VKO1 by doing it. VKO1 can do a lot, and that can be a lot at first. The new guides skip the manual: each one highlights the real button you need, shows a short clip of it being done, and moves on when you do it. Drag the tip card anywhere if it's in your way, or tap Next to skip ahead. Three guides to start, with more on the way: • Getting Started (about a minute) Install a free shader pack, put a shader on a pad, fill a whole bank in one tap, and jump between your 8 banks of 16 pads. Opens once after this update. • Build Your Own Visualizer (about 3 minutes) Your first node graph from scratch: a Generator makes the picture, a Modifier bends it, and an LFO makes it move by itself. Then it's saved on your pad, ready to play. • Let VKO1 Play the Set (about 2 minutes) Pick and dial in a Master Effect, start the clock, and meet every AUTO mode, from SEQ and RND to MIX, MIX2 and BLEND. Then set how often it switches with DIV. Find them all any time under the ? button. Bring your own visuals too: Import Media puts your videos, GIFs and photos on any pad. Improvements • Smaller Mac displays: the Shader Store and the guides fit shorter windows • The output logo watermark is now off by default; switch it on in Output settings
