John Whitney is a particle-driven audio-reactive scene in the Particles category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.

Open John Whitney

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.

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
Elements	Differential Dynamics	Controls elements; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Cycle Duration	Differential Dynamics	Controls cycle duration; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Base Speed	Differential Dynamics	Sets how quickly base changes or moves.
Point Size	Display	Sets the visible point size.
Opacity	Display	Sets the overall transparency.
Line / Connection Width	Display	Sets the visible line / connection width.
Zoom	Camera	Sets the visual zoom.
Rotation Speed	Camera	Sets how quickly rotation changes or moves.
Strength	Bloom	Sets the visible strength of strength.
Radius	Bloom	Sets the visible radius.

Settings reference

Camera

Setting	Available values	What it changes
Zoom	0.1–2	Sets the visual zoom. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.
Auto Rotate	On / Off	Turns auto rotate on or off.
Rotation Speed	-2–2	Sets how quickly rotation changes or moves. Use Assign modulation to choose a source.

Bloom

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

Let bass control particle scale or spread, while highs drive sparkle or trail detail for a clearer sense of depth.
Try assigning Bass to Elements, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
