#### Audio-reactive kaleidoscope visualizer with MIDI input and video export

Abstrakt Deck turns live audio into generative visuals in real time. Feed it
microphone, system audio, or MIDI and it renders reactive kaleidoscopes,
particle fields, and video-feedback effects on the GPU at full frame rate.

Built in Rust on wgpu — runs on Vulkan and stays fast on integrated graphics.

* Per-band audio detection with ADSR envelopes and tempo tracking
* MIDI input for live control
* Color theory system with simultaneous-contrast rendering
* Multi-panel grid layouts
* Record straight to MP4, up to 4K

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Abstrakt Deck

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
