Club effect

Toxic Candy

Toxic Candy is a club lighting look in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Sky blue, bubblegum and lime in flat candy blocks.

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 Toxic Candy does

Crushes the contrast, then paints flat candy blocks: sky blue as the base, bubblegum wherever the source is red, and lime wherever it's green. Lime wins where both apply, so peach and teal art comes out mostly lime and blue with pink flecks. Neon pushes the pink and lime paths, and Lift brightens by overall tone.

Using Toxic Candy

Where it works
Loud, cartoonish flyers and quick Reels where flat colour reads on a phone. The crushed contrast also hides noise, which helps with phone-shot crowd clips.
With the music
Has no audio link built in. Send B1 (kick) to Neon so the frame snaps from sky blue to lime on every kick, or an LFO on Lift for a slow brightness pump.
Starting point
Blend three-quarters, Neon centre, Lift centre, then drop Neon toward a quarter for more sky blue.
