Visualizer engine reference

13 production engines and 78 modes. These pages render capabilities and controls from the same versioned `EngineDefinition` used by Classic and Studio.

For the vocabulary behind those controls — FFT, onset, envelope, deterministic export — start at the glossary. Longer explainers of the analyser and Canvas loop are listed below.

How the engines get their numbers

This reference is the control-table pillar. The posts are the “how audio visualizers work” cluster: FFT bins, Canvas `requestAnimationFrame`, and the measure-then-draw loop.

Particles

Layered point, path, area, and volume emitters with calm time-based motion.

6 modes · 38 controls

Trails

Persistent splines, ribbons, flow fields, and resampled motion paths.

6 modes · 35 controls

Bloom

Organic growth simulations for petals, ink, cells, tendrils, crystals, and ripples.

6 modes · 38 controls

Character Motion

Glyph choreography and production 2D/3D skeleton animation in one engine.

6 modes · 33 controls

Radial

Logo-aware circles, rings, mandalas, rays, and orbiting crowns.

6 modes · 37 controls

Spectrum

Frequency-domain lines, areas, ribbons, spectrograms, ridges, and meshes.

6 modes · 34 controls

Bars

Dedicated equalizer bars with mirrors, stacks, paths, depth, and peak hold.

6 modes · 35 controls

Tunnel

Looping depth corridors, tubes, fields, and camera paths with deterministic fog.

6 modes · 36 controls

Waveform

Time-domain lines, fills, ribbons, XY scopes, and historical surfaces.

6 modes · 33 controls

Logo

Brand-first scenes: reactive geometry arranged around your artwork, never over it.

6 modes · 37 controls

Lattice

Mirrors, tilings, wireframes and trusses: hard-edged geometry that switches on the beat.

6 modes · 38 controls

Terrain

The last few seconds of the track rendered as receding landscape.

6 modes · 34 controls

Stage Lights

A lighting rig rather than a readout: beams, haze, pools and chases cued by the beat.

6 modes · 35 controls
