Particle Man

Particle Man is a particle-driven audio-reactive scene in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers. Shape its response in your browser with settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.

Default demo track · live audio-reactive settings

Particle Man is a particle-driven audio-reactive scene in the Particles category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.

Open Particle Man

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
Size	Material	Sets the visible size.
Size Variation	Material	Sets the visible size variation.
Curl Frequency	Material	Sets how tightly the particle curl pattern repeats.
Curl Amplitude	Material	Controls the distance of the motion from its resting position.
Max Distance	Material	Sets the spacing between visible elements.
Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly hue changes or moves.
Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly hue changes or moves.
Hue Speed	Colors	Sets how quickly hue changes or moves.
Speed	Animation	Sets how quickly speed changes or moves.
Rotation	Animation	Sets the rotation of the visible composition.

Tips for a better audio visualization

Let bass control particle scale or spread, while highs drive sparkle or trail detail for a clearer sense of depth.
Try assigning Bass to Size, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
