Spectral Topography

The spectrum's history as a contour map: frequency across, time down, rhythm visible as banding.

Launch modes

Heat Ribbon

Every past frame shaded by magnitude: the plot itself, no geometry.

Classic Studio

Contour Lines

Iso-level curves traced through the history, like a survey map.

Classic Studio

Iso Bands

The map as filled regions between levels rather than as lines.

Classic Studio

Ridge Plot

Each past frame as an offset line, drawn back to front so nearer ridges occlude.

Classic Studio

Wire Relief

The history as a projected wireframe under a fixed viewpoint.

Classic Studio

Flyover

The same surface with the camera travelling along the time axis.

Frame marginBreathing room kept clear at the frame edges. Audio-driven geometry is soft-limited to fit inside it; geometry scale deliberately is not	Transform	range	0.035	Yes	No
SensitivityBounded overall audio response	Audio	range	1	Yes	No
Spectrum rangeFraction of the frequency range the visual spans. The top of the FFT is near-silent air on most material, so at 1 the right-hand edge of every spectrum visual barely moves	Audio	range	0.86	Yes	No

Audio contributionMaximum contribution from the primary audio route	Audio	range	0.55	Yes	No
Audio dynamicsHow much of the band's movement reaches the visual. 1 = full dynamics; 0 holds it at a steady level for a calmer, more constant look	Audio	range	1	Yes	No
