Dream Wallpaper
Melt patterned color through drifting swirls with Dream Wallpaper. Eight psychedelic presets, waveform ridges, a wall, curve or tunnel, and transparent backgrounds.
Dream Wallpaper hangs a patterned print in front of you and melts it through slowly drifting swirls. Start with Velvet Melt, try Lava Lamp for slow marbled folds, Neon Linoleum for tiles that re-ink on every beat, or step inside Kaleido Loom, where the print wraps into a tunnel. The music's own waveform ridges the pattern around each swirl, and loud moments stamp the fresh print back into the flow.

Quick start
- Start the demo track, choose a local audio file, or enable a live input.
- Try a preset or style first, then open the section for the part of the image you want to change.
- On a control with Assign modulation, open the source picker, choose a signal, and watch the slider's live fill.
- Use Reset to Defaults whenever you want to return to the original look.

How do I share a factory look?
Open SHARE A LOOK, choose a preset from FACTORY LOOK, and select COPY LOOK LINK. The link opens that original preset with its audio reactions. Personal slider edits and music are not included. Use OPEN LOOK to preview what the recipient will see.
How do I share my edited look?
Open SHARE A LOOK, select PREPARE MY LOOK, then choose COPY MY LOOK LINK. The link includes your current visual settings, modulation routes, and generator settings. Music is not included. Use OPEN MY LOOK to preview the result. Prepare a new link after making more edits.
Audio modulation
On a control with Assign modulation, select the activity icon to open Modulate with. Choose a named source, or choose — None to leave the control unmodulated. After you assign one, its name appears below the slider; select that name to edit the route, or use Clear modulation to remove it. The slider track shows the live signal reaching the control.
| Modulated control | Section | What the route changes |
|---|---|---|
| Motif Scale | Core | Sets how many repeats of the print fit across the canvas. |
| Swirl | Flow | Sets how strongly the drifting swirls turn the print. Bass drives it by default. |
| Drift | Flow | Adds a slow whole-print drift on top of the swirls. |
| Waveform Ridge | Flow | Pushes the print outward and inward around each swirl with the shape of the playing waveform. Zero leaves only the turning motion. |
| Memory | Flow | Sets how long the melted print survives before the fresh print replaces it. Higher values keep longer, more fluid histories. |
| Fresh Burst | Flow | Sets how strongly a loud moment stamps the fresh print back into the flow. Its audio signal sweeps from nothing up to this value. |
| Hue | Colors | Chooses the first ink color. |
| Color Spread | Colors | Sets how far the second and third inks sit around the color wheel. |
| Hue Drift | Colors | Turns all three inks around the color wheel over time. Negative values turn the other way. |
| Flow Speed | Animation | Sets how quickly the swirls travel and the print melts. Zero freezes the flow while the print keeps refreshing. |
| Depth Displacement | Camera | Pushes the brighter parts of the print toward you as relief. Move the camera to see it. |
| Camera Speed | Camera | Sets how quickly the camera travels along its path. |
| Camera Travel | Camera | Sets how far the camera wanders from its chosen view; 0 holds it still and higher values sweep it through wider arcs. |
Settings reference
Core
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Spatial Form | WALL, CURVE, TUNNEL | Hangs the print on a flat Wall, a Curve that wraps around you, or a Tunnel you look down. Changes blend over the Motif Transition time. |
| Motif | BLOSSOM, LATTICE, MARBLE, TILES | Chooses the print: Blossom rosettes, a woven Lattice, marbled bands, or checkered Tiles. |
| Motif Transition | 0.2–4; default 1.6 | Sets how long a motif or spatial form change takes to blend in. |
| Motif Scale | 1–8; default 3 | Sets how many repeats of the print fit across the canvas. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Contrast | 0–1; default 0.7 | Deepens the dark bands of the print so the melted shapes keep their edges. |
Flow
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Swirl | 0–1; default 0.55 | Sets how strongly the drifting swirls turn the print. Bass drives it by default. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Swirl Size | 0.1–1; default 0.5 | Sets the reach of each swirl. Small swirls fold the print in tight curls; large ones fold whole regions. |
| Drift | 0–1; default 0.3 | Adds a slow whole-print drift on top of the swirls. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Waveform Ridge | 0–1.5; default 0.6 | Pushes the print outward and inward around each swirl with the shape of the playing waveform. Zero leaves only the turning motion. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Memory | 0.7–0.995; default 0.975 | Sets how long the melted print survives before the fresh print replaces it. Higher values keep longer, more fluid histories. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Fresh Burst | 0–1; default 0.4 | Sets how strongly a loud moment stamps the fresh print back into the flow. Its audio signal sweeps from nothing up to this value. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Colors
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Hue | 0–360; default 270 | Chooses the first ink color. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Color Spread | 0–360; default 110 | Sets how far the second and third inks sit around the color wheel. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Hue Drift | -30–30; default 1 | Turns all three inks around the color wheel over time. Negative values turn the other way. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Background Opacity | 0–1; default 1 | Fades the black background and optional stars while keeping the print visible. |
Audio
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 0–3; default 1 | Sets audio sensitivity. It scales the waveform ridge and every assigned audio signal. |
| Response | 0–1; default 0.3 | Sets how quickly the assigned audio signals respond. |
Animation
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Flow Speed | 0–2; default 0.5 | Sets how quickly the swirls travel and the print melts. Zero freezes the flow while the print keeps refreshing. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Render Scale | 0.5–1; default 1 | Lowers the rendering resolution for higher frame rates on demanding displays. |
Camera
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Mode | ORBIT, AUDIO, FLY | Chooses continuous camera motion, motion that follows audio level, or a close traveling view. |
| Camera View | INSIDE, CORE, WIDE, TOP, ISO, FLY-THROUGH | Chooses the starting view in Orbit or Audio mode. Fly mode uses its close traveling view. Drag the canvas to explore. |
| Camera Path | ORBIT, HELIX, DRIFT, SURGE | Chooses the camera movement: Orbit, Helix, Drift, or Surge. |
| Depth Displacement | 0–1.5; default 0.35 | Pushes the brighter parts of the print toward you as relief. Move the camera to see it. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Canvas Fill | 0.75–2; default 1.35 | Sets how much of the canvas the artwork fills; higher values zoom in so it fills more of the screen, and lower values pull back to show more of the surroundings. |
| Scene Depth | 0.2–4; default 1.6 | Sets the distance occupied by the scene from front to back. |
| Camera Speed | 0–1; default 0.1 | Sets how quickly the camera travels along its path. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Camera Travel | 0–1.5; default 0.25 | Sets how far the camera wanders from its chosen view; 0 holds it still and higher values sweep it through wider arcs. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Stars
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Show Starfield | On / Off | Adds a starfield that reveals camera movement through parallax. |
| Star Brightness | 0–1; default 0.6 | Sets the brightness of the optional stars. |
Some controls appear only after you enable a related mode or style. The settings panel always reflects the options available for the current selection.
Tips for a better audio visualization
- Watch one swirl for a few bars: the waveform ridge changes its outline with every note while the print keeps melting around it.
- Keep Memory below its maximum so the fresh print still reads; raise Fresh Burst to see beats re-ink the wallpaper.
- Use Background Opacity at zero to hang the print over a Studio backdrop. Presets keep your chosen background opacity.
- This is an independent tribute to classic music visualizers; it does not load MilkDrop preset files.
