Droste Loop

Classic Droste effect: the image contains a smaller copy of itself, which contains another, recursing inward. Continuous zoom advances by exactly one nesting level per loop for a seamless infinite recursion.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

Controls

Nest
Inner rectangle size (recursion depth feel).
Blend
Final mix toward the recursive sample.
Gain
Brightness trim on the nested sample.
Background
Key out near-black pixels as transparent (0 = off, 1 = strong).
Shape
Slider bands: square, triangle, circle, hexagon.
Speed
Zoom cycles per loop (seamless when the rate is a whole number).
