For most spinners, the original FuturePoi is a great choice. Designer is for performers who want total control and programmability. Unlike the original FuturePoi, Designer lets you upload custom patterns and unlock new features as we release them.

You can plug Designer into any OSX/Windows/Linux computer with a USB port and it will show up like a flash drive so you can copy patterns and update files onto it.
