Tricentric
Tricentric is a line-based audio-reactive scene in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers, built on WebGL. Settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.
Tricentric is a line-based audio-reactive scene in the Wire category. Open it from the left visualizer list, start an audio source, and use the settings panel to shape its response.
Open Tricentric
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
Frequency Storm · Echo Tunnel · Light Echoes · Organic · Bass Reactor · Wormhole · Spectral Vortex · Hyperdrive · Breathe · Jellyfish · Minimal · Zen · Rave · Cyber · Honeycomb
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Perspective | Core | Controls how much the rings grow as they come toward you; higher values exaggerate the sense of depth and lower values flatten the tunnel. |
| Glow Intensity | Material | Sets the visible glow intensity. |
| Deform Intensity | Material | Sets the visible deform intensity. |
| Wobble Amount | Material | Sets how far the rings bend during wobble. |
| Hue Speed | Colors | Sets how quickly hue changes or moves. |
| Saturation | Colors | Moves colors from muted toward vivid. |
| Brightness | Colors | Sets the visible strength of brightness. |
| Flow Speed | Animation | Sets how quickly flow changes or moves. |
| Rotation Speed | Animation | Sets how quickly rotation changes or moves. |
| Spiral Twist | Animation | Sets how much the rings rotate relative to each other along the tunnel, creating a corkscrew; 0x keeps them aligned. |
| Distance | Camera | Sets how far the camera sits from the subject. |

| Perspective | 0.5x–2x | Controls how much the rings grow as they come toward you; higher values exaggerate the sense of depth and lower values flatten the tunnel. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
Material
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 1–10 | Sets the visible thickness. |
| Glow Intensity | 0–3 | Sets the visible glow intensity. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |

| Echo Count | 2–15 | Sets how many visible elements are drawn. |
| Echo Delay | 0.02–0.5 | Sets the time between new echo rings spawning off the front ring; lower values create a denser stream of echoes. Available when Echo is on. |

| Deform Intensity | 0–3.5 | Sets the visible deform intensity. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Deform Smooth | 0–1 | Controls how smoothly ring outlines settle between audio changes; higher values give slow, flowing motion and lower values react instantly and jitter more. Available when FFT Deform is on. |
| Wobble | On / Off | Turns wobble on or off. |
| Wobble Speed | 0.3–3 | Sets how quickly wobble changes or moves. |
| Wobble Amount | 0–1 | Sets how far the rings bend during wobble. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |

Tips for a better audio visualization
- Route bass to line width or displacement, then use mids for motion so the shape stays musical instead of only flashing.
- Try assigning Bass to Perspective, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
