Visualizer Categories

Audio Visualizers ships with 196 visualizers organized into 15 categories, browsable in the left sidebar in Visualizer mode. Each table below lists a category's visualizers with the engine labels shown in the visualizer selector.

Finding and Organizing VisualizersCopy Anchor Link

Before the catalog, the tools for navigating it:

• Search — click the search icon in the header (or the search entry in the sidebar) to open the visualizer search modal. Use the heart button on any entry to mark it a favorite; favorites get their own section at the top of the modal.
• Star ratings — rate the active visualizer 1–5 stars at the top of the settings sidebar.

• Filters — the sidebar's filter drawer narrows the list by rating (All, 5 STAR, 4+ STAR, 3+ STAR, Rated, Unrated, FAVORITES).
• Sorts — reorder each category by Default, Rating ↓, Rating ↑, Most Used, Recent, A – Z, Z – A.

• Current category — the left bar stays green beside the category containing your selected visualizer, even when collapsed. Other collapsed categories have gray bars. The indicator works in thumbnail and list views, including the Performer visualizer browser.
• Recently Used — the filter drawer also shows your most recently used visualizers for one-click return.

Core AnalyticsCopy Anchor Link

Classic signal-analysis tools — meters, scopes, and spectra.

Visual SourceCopy Anchor Link

Your own picture: a camera, a shared screen, a video or an image, ready for effects and tracking looks.

WireCopy Anchor Link

Wireframe meshes and terrain surfaces that deform with the audio.

LinesCopy Anchor Link

Line-based visualizers — precise, minimal, and often the most visually articulate.

ParticlesCopy Anchor Link

Particle systems driven by audio — from delicate starfields to explosive physics.

SpheresCopy Anchor Link

Sphere-based 3D visualizers with reactive surface deformation, colliding marble swarms, and audio-driven motion. Marble Madness settings and physics guide.

OrganicCopy Anchor Link

Fluid, organic forms inspired by biology and natural phenomena.

SimulationCopy Anchor Link

Physics-based simulations where the audio drives real simulation variables.

CreativeCopy Anchor Link

Experimental and artistic visualizers that push the medium.

Matrix LEDCopy Anchor Link

A virtual LED-matrix panel: a shared engine renders every effect as a grid of glowing LED dots, with panel-wide controls for LED pitch (density), dot gap, glow, brightness, unlit-LED color, and an RGB panel or single-color red badge profile. Audio comes from a 16-band graphic-EQ engine with beat detection.

TextCopy Anchor Link

Dynamic, audio-reactive typography.

SpaceCopy Anchor Link

Cosmic and astronomical visualizations.

Date and TimeCopy Anchor Link

Time-based visualizers that incorporate clock and date elements.

Every clock has a TIME ZONE control that defaults to ACCOUNT DEFAULT — it follows the global Timezone you set on /account, which in turn defaults to your device's time zone. Override any individual clock by choosing a specific city or UTC from its TIME ZONE control.

BackgroundsCopy Anchor Link

Ambient background visualizers designed to complement other content or run standalone.

Winamp TributeCopy Anchor Link

Glowing waveforms, flowing trails, and geometric afterimages inspired by classic music visualizers. Each mode includes six starting presets and adjustable audio modulation.
