Works with your setup
Beat-locked visuals for Traktor DJ performers
SYQEL runs next to Traktor Pro and turns your master output into a reactive visual performance — whether you are playing a club, a stream, or a rooftop.

Just want it to run itself, zero setup? SYQEL Live →
Traktor attracts DJs who push the technical edge of a set — heavy effects chains, stems mixing, and loop-based layering. SYQEL keeps up with all of it because it reacts to the resulting audio, not to a predetermined clip. Where Traktor's Flux mode and remix decks create transitions no timeline could anticipate, SYQEL treats every sonic moment as an instruction to the visuals. The result is a light show that actually reflects the craft of the mix rather than running on autopilot.
How SYQEL works with Traktor
No changes to your Traktor setup
SYQEL does not touch your Traktor preferences or controller mapping. It runs separately and reads your system or interface audio output.
Tune the visual response
Set bass, mid, and energy sensitivity to match how hard or subtle your Traktor mix runs — then let the FFT engine handle everything else in real time.
Scale from bedroom to stage
Use fullscreen on a second display for a small gig, or route over Spout, Mac Screen Share, or NDI into a full AV rig for larger venues.
Follows every effect and transition
Stem drops, filter sweeps, reverb tails — SYQEL responds to the audio as it lands, not a scripted loop that ignores your creativity.
Works across all Traktor modes
It makes no difference whether you are on four decks, using Remix Sets, or running a Stems mix — SYQEL only needs the audio.
AI-built visuals on the spot
Describe the mood or aesthetic you want and SYQEL generates a custom reactive shader from scratch, no design skills required.
Stream-ready and stage-ready
Feed the output into OBS for a Twitch set or into Resolume for a venue rig via Spout, Mac Screen Share, or NDI.
What's in SYQEL Desktop
The parts DJs use every night — each one documented, none of them extra software.
Create visuals with AI
Describe a look — "neon hexagon tunnel that pulses with the bass" — and get a brand-new audio-reactive shader, or generate an image and let the AI animate it. Adjust it for free, keep what you make.
Five visual feeds
Worlds, shaders, scenes, Milkdrop and image visuals — hundreds of looks in one library, every one of them reacting to the music in real time.
Control with MIDI or keyboard
Space for the next visual, Enter to hold one for the drop, Backspace to go back. Put any control, visual or playlist on a key or a pad with Learn Key and Learn MIDI — on every plan.
Record four formats at once
Press R and SYQEL saves four videos in one go — 16:9, 1:1, 9:16 and 4:5 — with your audio in them, straight into a SYQEL folder. One for every platform, nothing to capture or convert.
Logos
Up to nine of them — yours, a sponsor’s, the night’s — each with its own position and size, switched live on keys 1–9. The one-time unlock removes the SYQEL mark entirely.
Control modes
Let it run on a timer, advance on the beat every 4 to 64 bars, or go fully manual and cut every visual yourself. Lock one for as long as the moment needs.
Works offline
Visuals, playlists, logos and hotkeys live on your machine. No internet at the venue, no problem — the show runs exactly the same. Sign in on another machine and your setup follows you.

Frequently asked questions
Does SYQEL support Traktor's internal BPM or sync data?
SYQEL does not use metadata from Traktor. It analyzes the live audio signal directly, which means the visuals respond to the actual sonic energy rather than a numeric value — including all the nuance of a live performance.
Can I run SYQEL on the same laptop as Traktor Pro?
Yes. SYQEL is designed to run alongside DJ software on a single machine. If your laptop is borderline, you can also run visuals on a second machine and feed it audio over the network.
Can I add my own logo to the output?
The one-time unlock lets you upload your own logo, and marquee text in your colors works on every plan, so every screen you touch carries your identity.
