Mango Riot

Mango Riot is a colour grade in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Deep teal under mango orange with hot pink highlights.

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.

What Mango Riot does

Deep teal shadows lift to aqua, then mango orange takes the mids early and hot pink claims the highlights. The handovers come fast, so most of a mid-toned source ends up orange and pink with teal left only in the darks. Teal spreads aqua through the shadows, Mango drags orange lower, Pink widens the highlight burst.

Using Mango Riot

Where it works
Summer festival flyers, tropical house covers and Reels shot in daylight. Where Tangerine Jet tops out in cream, this one finishes in hot pink, so the brightest details read hot rather than bleached.
With the music
The grade doesn't react to sound itself. Send B7 snare to Pink so each snare spreads the pink burst, and a beat-synced LFO on Mango pumps orange up and down the mids.
Starting point
Teal at centre, Mango a quarter, Pink at centre, then pull Mango back until aqua appears in the lower mids.
