Wire Ripple 2
Explore glowing circular ridges and reflective wire landscapes with twelve cinematic presets, moving cameras, depth of field, and outward light trails.
Wire Ripple 2 turns your music into waves of glowing ridges in the Wire category. Choose neon lines or reflective chrome, gold, iridescent, and obsidian finishes. Twelve presets combine different shapes, close camera views, motion, and lens effects; each is composed to fill the canvas.

Controls appear when they apply
Wire Gauge appears with metallic finishes. Focus Offset and Focus Range appear when Depth of Field is above zero. The fixed Original camera hides motion settings; setting Camera Speed to zero hides the path choices. Palette choices disappear when both Line Core and Line Glow are zero. Hidden controls keep their values for when you enable the effect again.
Choose a cinematic look
Immersion is a low blue-green glide with soft foreground detail. Original brings multicolor neon waves into a moving close view. Chrome Tides pairs cool reflections with a circling camera, while Obsidian Orbit sweeps past dark wires and warm edges.
Neon Contours keeps angular lines crisp. Aurora Silk combines fine iridescent wires with a slow glide; Prism Summit circles taller triangular peaks. Silver Etching uses fine neutral wires and selective focus. Solar Crown moves forward and back through warm gold waves.
For the closest views, try Hyperdrive for rushing neon trails, Gold Rush for thick gold waves, or Prism Storm for towering iridescent ridges. These three start with extra Frame Zoom. Lower it when you want to reveal more of the outer landscape.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Morph | Landscape | In Auto, blends circle through triangle to square. Bass is assigned by default; choose another source with Assign modulation. The slider sets the maximum morph range. With no source, it selects the blend directly. |
| Landscape Height | Landscape | Sets the visible landscape height. |
| Line Glow | Landscape | Adds a soft glow around neon lines and bright metal reflections. |
| Line Brightness | Landscape | Changes brightness across the whole scene, including reflective wires. |
Settings reference
Sculpture
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Finish | NEON LINES, CHROME, GOLD, IRIDESCENT, OBSIDIAN | Chooses the finish mode or style. |
| Wire Gauge | 0.012–0.08 | Sets the base thickness of reflective wires. Available with metallic finishes. |
Landscape
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | AUTO, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, SQUARE | Chooses the shape mode or style. |
| Auto Morph | 0–1 | In Auto, blends circle through triangle to square. Bass is assigned by default; choose another source with Assign modulation. The slider sets the maximum morph range. With no source, it selects the blend directly. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Palette | SPECTRUM, AURORA, EMBER, ICE | Chooses the palette mode or style. |
| Landscape Radius | 0.7–1.3 | Sets the visible landscape radius. |
| Landscape Height | 0–1.5 | Sets the visible landscape height. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Wave Separation | 0–1.5 | Spreads the radial waves apart according to their strength. |
| Line Width | 0.4–1.6 | Changes the width of neon lines and reflective wires together. Hidden when no lines or wires are visible. |
| Line Core | 0–1.5 | Brightens or removes the sharp colored line core over the landscape. |
| Line Glow | 0–1.5 | Adds a soft glow around neon lines and bright metal reflections. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Color Saturation | 0–1.5 | Changes color intensity across the whole scene. Hidden for chrome with no colored lines or glow. |
| Line Brightness | 0.25–1.5 | Changes brightness across the whole scene, including reflective wires. Use Assign modulation to choose a source. |
| Master Gain | 0–3 | Sets how strongly the input signal affects master. |
| Background Opacity | 0–1 | Sets how transparent the background appears. |
Camera
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| View | ORIGINAL, ORBIT, SUMMIT, FLYOVER, WIDE, IMMERSION | Chooses the camera angle. Immersion and Flyover sit close to the waves; Summit looks down across the peaks. Original restores the overhead view. |
| Motion | ORBIT, HELIX, DRIFT, SURGE | Orbit travels from side to side; Helix circles through depth; Drift glides slowly; Surge moves forward and back. |
| Camera Speed | 0–1 | Sets how quickly camera changes or moves. |
Lens
| Setting | Available values | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Frame Zoom | 0.7–2 | Tightens the composition without changing the landscape. Raise Frame Zoom for an edge-to-edge close-up. |
| Depth of Field | 0–6 | Softens terrain away from the focus distance. Set to zero for crisp detail throughout. |
| Focus Offset | -15–15 | Moves focus nearer with negative values or farther away with positive values. |
| Focus Range | 1–20 | Widens the band of terrain that stays sharp. |
| Radial Trails | 0–1.5 | Adds outward light streaks toward the edges while leaving the middle more detailed. |
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
- 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 Auto Morph, then compare Mid, High, and Volume while the demo track plays. The slider's live fill shows the signal reaching that control.
