Lines
Linear Music
Linear Music is an animated line composition in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers, built on WebGL. Settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.
Linear Music 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 Linear Music
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Max Height | Core | Sets the visible max height. |
| Opacity | Material | Sets the overall transparency. |
| Glow Intensity | Material | Sets the visible glow intensity. |
| Wave Amplitude | Material | Controls the distance of the motion from its resting position. |
| Wave Speed | Material | Sets how quickly wave changes or moves. |
| Rotation Speed | Material | Sets how quickly rotation changes or moves. |
| Base Hue | Colors | Moves the color around the color spectrum. |
| Hue Spread | Colors | Controls how widely the colors vary around the color spectrum. |
| Rainbow Speed | Colors | Sets how quickly rainbow changes or moves. |
| Auto Rotate | Camera | Controls auto rotate; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it. |
| Distance | Camera | Sets how far the camera sits from the subject. |

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 Max Height, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
