CHURN

Credits and licenses

Churn is an unofficial browser interface powered by existing open-source rendering software and classic artist-created presets.

What Churn adds

Churn adds a responsive interface, browser audio-source integrations, input diagnostics, preset controls, compatibility testing, and deployment. It does not implement the MilkDrop renderer or create the bundled visuals.

Churn is not an official MilkDrop project and is not a port of MilkDrop3. MilkDrop3 inspired parts of the original experiment, but none of its native implementation powers this application.

Project lineage

  • MilkDrop was created by Ryan Geiss.
  • Butterchurn, the WebGL 2 renderer used by Churn, was created by Jordan Berg and contributors.
  • Butterchurn Presets contains converted classic MilkDrop presets. The preset names shown in Churn retain their original artist credits.
  • MilkDrop3, developed by milkdrop2077 and based on BeatDrop by Maxim Volskiy, inspired the experiment that led to Churn. Its code is not included.
  • Churn's interface, browser integrations, validation, and deployment were developed by Leyan Lo with OpenAI Codex.

Preset artists

The bundled visuals are works by many MilkDrop preset artists. Churn shows the original creator and remix credits embedded in each preset name; it does not claim authorship of those visuals.
