What does the kaleidoscope effect do?

It folds an image into mirrored radial wedges around the center, creating repeated symmetry from one source frame.

Where is Kaleidoscope in Ether-MOSH?

Open the FX panel, choose Geometry, and add Kaleidoscope. Its controls are Segments from 2–16 and Spin from 0–1.

What is a good Kaleidoscope Segments setting?

Start at 6. Use 2–4 for large readable reflections and 8–12 for a denser mandala, then judge at the final output size.

How do I use a kaleidoscope effect safely in projection?

Keep Spin slow, avoid rapid flashes and hard high-contrast cuts elsewhere in the stack, rehearse at full brightness, and provide a static version when practical.

Turn the Kaleidoscope Effect Until the Room Confesses

Two controls, one folding chair, and enough radial symmetry to make a venue inspector question whether furniture has achieved collective consciousness.

Quick answer

The kaleidoscope effect turns one image into rotating radial mirror symmetry. Ether-MOSH converts the frame to polar space, divides it with Segments, folds each wedge, then samples the source; Spin rotates the fold over time. Start at 6 Segments and 0.15 Spin. Use 0 Spin for a static or lower-motion result.
