Make it yours

Every effect tunes four ways.

Two taps on the dashboard and an effect goes from demo to yours.

01

Pick an effect

The dashboard's Effects tab shows the same live previews you see here — tap one and the strip switches instantly. No save button, no waiting.

02

Set the pace

A speed dial from 1 to 10 covers everything from a slow breathing glow to a full-speed chase. Nudge it while the effect runs — you see the change as you drag.

03

Choose the direction

Forward, reverse, or bounce — bounce is the effect doubling back on itself instead of jumping to the start. Same colours, entirely different feel.

04

Colour it in

Effects that take colours get custom palettes: fire in blue, a rainbow in your build's accent colours. The per-LED editor handles the rest — all 13 diodes, individually, with 40+ preset colours and 25 multi-LED patterns.

It remembers. Whatever colour, mode or effect you set lives in persistent memory — unplug the cube for a week, move house, and it boots back exactly as you left it.

35 of these arrived with v3 — over the air.

Vantic 3 added the sparkle and mood families, new comets, pulses, chases and gradients — delivered as a wireless update, no re-flash needed. The next release lands the same way: open your bay's dashboard, tap Check for update, done.

the roadmap page tracks exactly what's shipped and what's next.
