Visual Performer Overview
The Visual Performer app allows you to create sound and video on your iPad, iPhone*, or iPod touch* using tap and swipe gestures. What’s more, if you connect a musical instrument that supports Core MIDI, Visual Performer can also create video that responds in real time as you play that instrument.
