Line Weave
Line Weave is an animated line composition in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers, built on WebGL. Settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.
Line Weave is an animated line composition in the Lines category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.
Open Line Weave
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplier | Core | Sets the times table the weave follows: each point on the circle is joined to the point at its number times this value, so 2 draws a heart-shaped curve and higher or fractional values weave more intricate patterns. |
| Cylinder Height | Core | Sets the visible cylinder height. |
| Opacity | Material | Sets the overall transparency. |
| Bloom | Material | Sets the visible strength of bloom. |
| Displace Intensity | Material | Sets the visible displace intensity. |
| Twist Intensity | Material | Sets the visible twist intensity. |
| Global Expansion | Material | Sets how strongly the bass swells the whole circle outward; 0 keeps its size steady. |
| Hue Cycling | Colors | Sets how fast the colors cycle around the color wheel over time; 0 keeps them fixed. |
| Saturation Boost | Colors | Moves colors from muted toward vivid. |
| Depth Hue Shift | Colors | Moves the color around the color spectrum. |
| Depth Opacity Fade | Colors | Sets the visible depth opacity fade. |
| Noise Intensity | Audio | Sets the visible noise intensity. |
| Draw Speed | Animation | Sets how quickly draw changes or moves. |
| Distance | Camera | Sets how far the camera sits from the subject. |
Settings reference
Core
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Total Lines | 50–500 | Sets how many lines are drawn around the circle; more lines give a denser, finer weave and fewer give a bolder, more open pattern. |
| Multiplier | 2–100 | Sets the times table the weave follows: each point on the circle is joined to the point at its number times this value, so 2 draws a heart-shaped curve and higher or fractional values weave more intricate patterns. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Cylinder Height | 0–5 | Sets the visible cylinder height. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Material
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Opacity | 10%–100% | Sets the overall transparency. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Bloom | 0–5 | Sets the visible strength of bloom. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Displacement | On / Off | Turns displacement on or off. |
| Displace Intensity | 0–100 | Sets the visible displace intensity. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Twist | On / Off | Turns twist on or off. |
| Twist Intensity | 0–2 | Sets the visible twist intensity. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Twist Audio Reactive | On / Off | Turns twist audio reactive on or off. |
| Global Expansion | 0–3 | Sets how strongly the bass swells the whole circle outward; 0 keeps its size steady. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Colors
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Color Method | SOLID, FADED, LENGTH→OPACITY, LENGTH→HUE, INDEX→HUE, FADED INDEX | Chooses the color method mode or style. |
| Hue Cycling | 0–2 | Sets how fast the colors cycle around the color wheel over time; 0 keeps them fixed. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Saturation Boost | 0–1 | Moves colors from muted toward vivid. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Depth Color | On / Off | Turns depth color on or off. |
| Depth Hue Shift | 0–1 | Moves the color around the color spectrum. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Depth Opacity Fade | 0–1 | Sets the visible depth opacity fade. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Audio
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Master Gain | 0.1x–3x | Sets how strongly the input signal affects master. |
| Bass Intensity | 0x–3x | Sets the visible bass intensity. |
| Mid Intensity | 0x–3x | Sets the visible mid intensity. |
| High Intensity | 0x–1x | Sets the visible high intensity. |
| Smoothing | 0–0.99 | Balances immediate audio response against steadier motion. |
| Noise Fallback (Silent) | On / Off | Turns noise fallback (silent) on or off. |
| Noise Intensity | 0–1 | Sets the visible noise intensity. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Animation
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Animate Multiplier | On / Off | Turns animate multiplier on or off. |
| Animation Speed | 0.001–0.1 | Sets how quickly animation changes or moves. |

| Trail Length | 5%–100% | Sets the visible trail length. |
| Mirror Heads | 1–4 | Sets how many drawing points trace the pattern at once, spaced evenly around the circle; more points reveal more of the weave at the same time. Available when Draw Trail is on. |
Camera
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Mode | ORBIT, AUDIO, FRONT, BACK, SIDE, TOP, ISO | Chooses the camera mode or style. |

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
- Give bass the larger structural motion and highs the fine detail or glow; the frequency split keeps the composition legible.
- Try assigning Bass to Multiplier, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
