Customize

Every visualizer ships with sensible defaults, but its full parameter set is exposed so you can dial in exactly the behavior you want. The controls live in two places depending on the mode — both drive the same underlying settings.

Visualizer Mode: The Settings Sidebar

The right sidebar (toggle with the arrow button or Ctrl+]) is headed VISUALIZER SETTINGS and always shows the active visualizer's controls. From top to bottom:

• Star rating — rate the visualizer 1–5 stars; ratings feed the sidebar filters (details)
• Presets — per-visualizer saved configurations with Save Current…, load, rename, and delete (Presets)
• Settings sections — the visualizer's own parameters, grouped into collapsible sections
• Reset to Defaults — returns the visualizer to its shipped settings

The active mode appears below VISUALIZER SETTINGS. The sidebar footer shows the current BPM, audio source, frame rate, and rendering engine.

Performer Mode: The Customize Panel

Click the arrow toggle in the top-right of the Performer canvas to slide the CUSTOMIZE panel in from the right edge (you can also reach it via a preset's edit action). The panel header shows the name of the current preset, so you always know what you're editing.

It contains the same per-visualizer settings panels as Visualizer mode, plus QUICK ACTIONS at the top — most importantly SAVE AS PRESET, which stores the whole configuration as a custom preset in the preset grid.

Settings Are Per-Visualizer

Both surfaces are specific to the active visualizer. A particle visualizer exposes spawn rate and trail length, a terrain visualizer exposes deformation and wireframe density, an oscilloscope exposes line weight and glow. Switching visualizers swaps in that visualizer's own controls.

Apply One Scene Look Across Visualizers

Open Settings → Display → Scene Look when you want the same finishing treatment to follow you as you switch visualizers. It is off by default. Turn it on to choose:

• a solid, linear, radial, starfield, plasma, or floating-dust background
• a named palette or three custom colors
• a blend mode and noise, paper, grid, dots, diagonal, or hex texture
• separate background, palette, texture, and motion strengths

The background sits behind the visualizer, while the palette and texture sit above it. To reveal more of the background, use the active visualizer's Background Opacity control or Transparent Background switch when available. The same Scene Look is included when you render a video from Audio Visualizers, and Reset Scene Look returns it to its off state.

Kinds of Settings

Controls are grouped into collapsible sections by accent color. The common control types are:

Most visualizers expose color, speed, and effect controls in some form, but the exact mix is defined per visualizer.

Modulatable Sliders

Many sliders can be driven by a live source rather than left at a fixed value. Select the activity icon named Assign modulation below a supported slider to open Modulate with, then choose from the named source groups. Choose — None to leave the slider unmodulated.

After you assign a source, its name appears below the slider. Select the name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control. See Audio Modulation for the full source catalog and route options.

Saving Your Work

When the visualizer looks the way you want, save it: Save Current… in the Visualizer-mode sidebar, or SAVE AS PRESET in the Performer Customize panel. Reset to Defaults is always available to return to the shipped settings.
