Marble Madness

Marble Madness is a spherical audio-reactive composition in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers, built on WebGPU. Settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.

Default demo track · live audio-reactive settings

Marble Madness is a spherical audio-reactive composition in the Spheres category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.

Open Marble Madness

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.

Presets and styles

Default Pink · Newton'S Cradle · Nebula · Pinball · Zen Garden · Solar Tide

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.

Fill Light Horizontal	Lighting	Controls fill light horizontal; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Fill Light Vertical	Lighting	Controls fill light vertical; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Fill Light Depth	Lighting	Sets the visible fill light depth.
Large Marble Size	Attractors	Sets the visible large marble size.
Attractor Bounce	Attractors	Controls attractor bounce; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Precession Rate	Swarm Shape	Sets how quickly precession changes or moves.
Kinetic Limit	Animation	Controls kinetic limit; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.

Tips for a better audio visualization

Keep the base shape readable and use bass for deformation; add highs to glow or surface detail as a secondary response.
Try assigning Bass to Marble Scale, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
