Electric Waves
Electric Waves is an expressive audio-reactive composition in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers, built on WebGPU. Settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.
Electric Waves is an expressive audio-reactive composition in the Creative category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.
Open Electric Waves
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.

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 | Sets how brightly the three wave traces glow; higher values make the neon lines hotter and more luminous. |
| Animation Speed | Animation | Sets how quickly animation changes or moves. |
| Rotation | Animation | Sets the rotation of the visible composition. |

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.
