White Holes
White Holes is a particle-driven audio-reactive scene in BeamTracer Audio Visualizers. Shape its response in your browser with settings, audio modulation, presets, and tips.
White Holes throws a field of particles around an invisible force point. Loud moments open the field into rings, swirls and fans that settle back into drifting dust. Start with the default gray look, then try Neon Pulse for cycling color or Gravity Waves for an orbiting field. The pointer can move the force point too.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Audio → Force | Force Field | Adds push as the assigned signal rises. |
| Audio → Radius | Force Field | Widens the reach of the force field as the assigned signal rises. |
| Threshold | Pulse Burst | Sets how loud the assigned signal must be to fire a pulse. |
| Threshold | Bass Spawn | Sets how loud the assigned signal must be to restart particles. |
| Threshold | Audio Splat | Sets how loud the assigned signal must be to trigger a splat. |
| Audio → Hue | Color Cycling | Shifts the particle color further around the wheel as the assigned signal rises. |
| Audio → Brightness | Color Cycling | Brightens the particles as the assigned signal rises. |
| Audio → Screw | Screw Rotation | Adds twist as the assigned signal rises. |
Settings reference
Preset Cycle
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-Cycle Presets | On / Off | Steps through the built-in presets automatically. |
| Cycle On Bass Hit | On / Off | Moves to the next preset on a strong bass hit instead of on a timer. |
| Cycle Interval | 2s–30s | Sets the seconds between preset changes. Shown when Cycle On Bass Hit is off. |
Particles
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Particle Count | 65,536, 262,144, 1,048,576 | Sets how many particles fill the view. Higher counts make the field denser. |
| Size | 0.5px–5px | Sets the size of each particle in pixels. |
| Opacity | 0.1–1 | Sets how solid each particle looks. Lower values keep more detail where particles crowd together. |
| Decay | 0–1 | Slows every particle a little on each frame. Higher values make the field settle sooner after each push. |

|---|---|---|
| Max Speed | 5–100 | Sets the speed at which Damping starts to slow a particle down. |
| Damping | 0.1–0.95 | Sets how much speed a particle keeps once it passes Max Speed. Lower values brake harder. |
Force Field
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |

Some controls appear only after you enable a related mode or style. The settings panel always reflects the options available for the current selection.
Tips for a better audio visualization
- Audio Splat opens most of the shapes. Lower its Threshold for busier motion, or raise Cooldown for fewer, more distinct bursts.
- At the highest Particle Count, lower Opacity or Size so crowded areas keep their structure instead of filling in gray.
