Winamp Tribute
Lensfield
Orbit a glowing hex lattice wrapped around a glass lens and a chrome core with Lensfield. Six presets, real 3D spheres, a surrounding hex shell that ripples and splits into color with the music, and transparent backgrounds.
Lensfield nests three real spheres inside a larger glowing hex sphere: an open hexagonal lattice, an iridescent lens that reflects the hexagonal lattice and bends light behind it, and a mirror-chrome core that reflects the scene around it. Drag the canvas to orbit and the spheres keep their depth from every angle. Each layer follows a different part of the music: the hex shell breathes outward in waves that deepen with the bass, speed up with the mid range and split into color fringes with the highs, bass also sends shockwaves rippling out through it, the mid range twists neighboring belts of the lattice in opposite directions, high attacks briefly flick and flash the inner lens, and sudden hits flash the small core. Start with Prism Core, try Gravity Well for a heavy lens that bends the scene, or Chroma Storm for a swirling field.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Lattice Size | Core | Sets the size of the hexagonal lattice. The glass lens and chrome core scale with it. |
| Lens Size | Core | Sets the size of the glass lens inside the lattice. |
| Lens Strength | Material | Sets how strongly the glass lens bends the light behind it. |
| Iridescence | Material | Adds a rainbow film to the glass lens surface. |
| Core Glow | Material | Sets how brightly the chrome core glows between hits. |
| Brightness | Material | Sets how brightly the lattice, field and core glow. |
| Glow | Material | Sets the steady glow around bright edges. Individual layers brighten separately with the music. |
| Hue | Colors | Chooses the main color of the lattice and field. |
| Color Spread | Colors | Sets how far the colors sweep around the color wheel from the front of the scene to the back. |
| Field Shockwave | Layer Reactions | Sets how strongly shockwaves ripple out through the hex shell, bending the cells they pass. Follows the bass by default. |
| Field Pulse | Layer Reactions | Sets how far the surrounding hex shell breathes: bands of cells burst outward from the center, then ease back, bunching into bright fronts where they overtake each other. In silence the shell breathes gently; the bass sweeps it up to this depth. |
| Pulse Speed | Layer Reactions | Sets how quickly the breathing bands travel outward through the hex shell. Follows the mid range by default. |
| Field Chroma | Layer Reactions | Sets how far the hex shell splits into red, green and blue fringes, red riding outward and blue inward. Follows the high range by default. |
| Field Twist | Layer Reactions | Sets how far the hex shell twists around its center. Follows the bass by default. |
| Lens Snap | Layer Reactions | Sets the strength of quick faceted flicks and flashes on the reflective inner sphere. Follows high attacks, such as hi-hats, by default. |
| Lens Dispersion | Layer Reactions | Sets how far the glass lens splits the light behind it into rainbow colors. Follows the high range by default. |
| Core Flare | Layer Reactions | Sets how strongly the small core flashes and deforms on sudden hits. Its audio signal sweeps from nothing up to this value. |
| Spectrum Glow | Layer Reactions | Sets how strongly each lattice row glows with its own part of the spectrum. |
| Perlin Detail | Animation | Sets the size and detail of the surface bulges: lower values make broad folds, higher values make finer ripples. |
| Wave Speed | Animation | Sets how quickly surface waves travel and folds evolve. Zero holds their travel while music can still change their depth; LENS SNAP keeps its short attack. |
| Spin | Animation | Turns the lattice slowly around its center. Negative values turn the other way. |
| Depth Displacement | Camera | Sets how far neighboring lattice belts twist in opposite directions and develop soft folds. Follows the mid range by default. |
| 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. |
| Field Line Width | Field | Sets the width of the glowing edges on the surrounding hex shell. |
| Field Level | Field | Sets the brightness of the surrounding hex shell. |

Tips for a better audio visualization
- Drag the canvas to orbit: the lattice, glass lens and chrome core stay round from every angle, and the lens bends whatever sits behind it.
- Watch the field on a kick drum: a broad shockwave bends the hexagons as it travels outward. Midrange passages twist the middle lattice, while hi-hats make the inner lens snap and flash.
- Use Background Opacity at zero to place the spheres over a Studio backdrop. Presets keep your chosen background opacity.
- Add this visualizer in Studio to combine it with a backdrop and export a video. This is an independent tribute to classic music visualizers; it does not load MilkDrop preset files.
