AudioJones

Real-time audio visualizer. Captures system audio and renders reactive visuals.

Features

• System Audio Capture - WASAPI loopback grabs any audio playing on Windows
• Audio Analysis - FFT-driven beat detection, per-band energy, and spectral features feed every visual layer
• Layered Drawables - Stack waveforms, spectrum bars, and textured shapes into composite scenes
• Generators - Procedural content engines: spirals, constellations, plasma, glyphs, nebulae, and more
• Transforms - Reorderable effect chain spanning symmetry, warp, cellular, artistic, graphic, retro, optical, motion, and color categories
• Simulations - GPU compute agents deposit audio-reactive trails
• Feedback - Frame-to-frame blur, flow fields, and edge-following smear build up over time
• Modulation - LFOs, audio bands, and mod buses (combiners, envelope followers, slew limiters) automate any parameter
• Presets - Save and load full configurations as JSON, sequence them into playlists
