Neon Rain

Shape luminous rain threads with Neon Rain. Musical beats send small drops through layered curtains of color.

Default demo track · live audio-reactive settings

Neon Rain surrounds you with continuous colored threads carrying multiple small drops. Beats brighten and enlarge drops along the threads, while waveform bends travel down each thread. Near and distant layers give the rain depth. Choose Fly-Through to send the rain toward you, Top to look down into it, or Wide to see the full curtain. Depth Displacement controls the traveling bends and Fall Speed controls their motion. Start with Midnight Shower, choose Copper Drizzle for a quieter look, or try Violet Streams from inside the curtain. Adjust Wind to lean the threads across the canvas.

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.

Tips for a better audio visualization

  • Increase Beat Memory to retain more musical accents along the threads.
  • Use Camera Travel above zero to see Camera Speed change the moving view.
  • Presets preserve your chosen Background Opacity.
