Lines
Node Nebula
Node Nebula is an animated line composition in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers, built on WebGL. Settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.
Node Nebula 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 Node Nebula
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Node Opacity | Nodes | Sets how transparent the node appears. |
| Node Glow | Nodes | Sets the visible strength of node glow. |
| Edge Opacity | Connections | Sets how transparent the edge appears. |
| Edge Width | Connections | Sets the visible edge width. |
| Orbital Speed | Flow | Sets how quickly orbital changes or moves. |
| Curl Intensity | Flow | Sets the visible curl intensity. |
| Drift Speed | Flow | Sets how quickly drift changes or moves. |
| Breathing Speed | Flow | Sets how quickly breathing changes or moves. |
| Base Hue | Colors | Moves the color around the color spectrum. |
| Hue Range | Colors | Controls how widely the colors vary around the color spectrum. |
| Shockwave Intensity | Audio | Sets the visible shockwave intensity. |
| Auto Rotate | Camera | Sets how fast the camera slowly circles the scene on its own; 0 holds the view still. Available when Camera Mode is Orbit. |
Settings reference
Core
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Node Count | 100–2000 | Sets how many visible elements are drawn. |
| Edge Count | 500–10000 | Sets how many visible elements are drawn. |
| Network Radius | 1–5 | Sets the visible network radius. |
| Clusters | 1–10 | Sets how many separate groups the nodes are split into; each group reacts to its own slice of the spectrum, so more clusters give a more varied, independent response. |
Nodes
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Node Size | 0.01–0.2 | Sets the visible node size. |
| Size Variance | 0–1 | Sets the visible size variance. |
| Node Opacity | 0.1–1 | Sets how transparent the node appears. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Node Glow | 0–2 | Sets the visible strength of node glow. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |

| Bass Brightness Pulse | On / Off | Turns bass brightness pulse on or off. |
| Electricity On Beat | On / Off | Turns electricity on beat on or off. |
| Electricity Speed | 0.5–5 | Sets how quickly electricity changes or moves. |
Flow
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Orbital Motion | On / Off | Turns orbital motion on or off. |

| Saturation | 0–1 | Moves colors from muted toward vivid. |
| Brightness | 0.3–1 | Sets the visible strength of brightness. |
Audio
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Master Gain | 0x–3x | Sets how strongly the input signal affects master. |

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