Open Text Rays

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

Divine · Neon · Subtle · Inferno

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
Exposure	Material	Sets the overall rendered brightness.
Density	Material	Controls how concentrated the visible elements appear.
Weight	Material	Controls weight; higher values increase the effect and lower values reduce it.
Bloom	Material	Sets the visible strength of bloom.
Hue Shift	Colors	Moves the color around the color spectrum.
Distance	Camera	Sets how far the camera sits from the subject.

Tips for a better audio visualization

Keep the words readable first, then apply bass to scale or movement and highs to edge effects.
Try assigning Bass to Exposure, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
