Launch the visualizer with its matching left-nav entry selected.

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.

Presets and styles

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
Line Thickness	Material	Sets the visible line thickness.
Glow Spread	Material	Controls how far elements separate from the center or from one another.
Glow Intensity	Material	Sets the visible glow intensity.
Neon Overdrive	Material	Controls neon overdrive; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Animation Speed	Animation	Sets how quickly animation changes or moves.
Rotation	Animation	Sets the rotation of the visible composition.

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

Assign different bands to structure, motion, and light instead of routing every control to Volume.
Try assigning Bass to Line Thickness, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
