Quote: "Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!" - Bill and Ted
IKANDY 1.6 expands the creative library, improves scene transitions, and delivers a smoother, more reliable live-show experience.
A Bigger Creative Library
- 11 revamped Capture FX, including Time Slits, Time Echo, Living Paint, Liquid Glass, Flow Ink, and Shatter and Reform.
- 117 new Ryan Geiss-inspired WarpField visuals.
- Improved kick, snare, and hi-hat reactivity.
- Faster loading for large visual libraries.
Smoother Playback
- New 250 ms scene-to-scene dissolves.
- Smoother transitions across Pilot, Auto, Filtered, Capture, and manual selections.
- Cold MilkDrop starts no longer expose a black frame.
- Newer selections safely replace older requests that are still loading.
Clearer Presentation
- Long song, artist, and scene names now scroll instead of being cut off.
- Pets, speech bubbles, and toys render at native density, including on 4K displays.

- Audio, tone, FX, reactivity, and speed controls now start from consistent values.
- Existing user presets remain untouched.
- Scene-specific safety limits and purpose-built MilkDrop and WarpField behavior are preserved.
HDR and Output Reliability

Stability and Polish
