VS 2 Tutorial - Compositing

In this tutorial, we create a full composited visual inside VS 2 using multiple layers, shaders, textures, MIDI data, envelopes, LFOs, and blend modes. You’ll see how different visual elements—kick, snare, clap, pads, bass, and lead—can interact musically to form a polished, dynamic composition. We use the Synthwave 2 demo audio and its MIDI counterpart to trigger and modulate several materials, combining them with feedback, additive blending, noise textures, and subtle background elements for depth. Whether you're new to VS or looking to level up your visual compositions, this tutorial shows how to blend multiple signals and layers into a cohesive final result.
