Lines
Nexus Lattice
A moving three-dimensional web with nine colored looks, length-shaped gradients, reflected ground, camera framing, and audio-driven motion.
Nexus Lattice is an animated line composition in the Lines category. Thousands of connected strands move as one shifting body while two line colors travel across the web, colored nodes mark its outer detail, and an optional reflected ground doubles the pattern below. Nine presets range from cool, spacious drift to fast warm turbulence, with dedicated looks that emphasize short connections, long connections, or gradients stretched across each strand.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Constraint Ratio | Core | Sets how strongly each line pulls its two ends toward each other; higher values draw the lines into tighter, straighter bundles and lower values let them scatter loosely. |
| Node Opacity | Material | Sets how transparent the node appears. |
| Reflection Distortion | Material | Controls how strongly the surrounding scene is reflected. |
| Bloom Strength | Material | Sets the visible bloom strength. |
| Point Intensity | Material | Sets the visible point intensity. |
| Overall Scale | Animation | Sets the visual overall scale. |
| Wander Strength | Travel | Sets the visible wander strength. |
| Wander Speed | Travel | Sets how quickly wander changes or moves. |
| Compression | Deformation | Sets how strongly the swarm is squeezed toward the point it is wandering around, and loud hits in the music loosen it so the swarm bursts outward. Available when Auto Wander is on. |
| Turbulence | Deformation | Sets how irregular or unpredictable the turbulence appears. |
| Curl Strength | Deformation | Sets the visible curl strength. |
| Strand Wave | Deformation | Sets how strongly each line ripples along its length with the music; 0 keeps the lines straight. Available when Strand Segments is above 1. |
| Spectrum Drive | Response | Sets how strongly the spectrum drives lattice motion. An assigned source increases or reduces that live drive from the displayed base. |
| Glow Threshold | Response | Sets the level that must be crossed before glow appears. |
| Mouse Force | Forces | Sets how strongly the swarm of lines is drawn toward your pointer; higher values pull it in harder. Available when Follow Mouse is on. |
| Wind | Forces | Controls how strongly wind moves the scene. |
| Gravity | Forces | Sets the downward pull on moving elements. |
| Max Distance | Camera | Sets the spacing between visible elements. |

Colors
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |

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