Audio visualizer
A live spectrum of whatever your PC is playing.
A built-in widget in EdgeOS, the desktop widget app for Windows 10 and 11. Put it on any monitor or on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE, at any size, next to your other widgets. It's part of EdgeOS Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.
What you can set
- Style
- Bars · Reflection · Wave · Mini meter · Radial
- Direction
- Up · Down · Centre
- Down hangs the bars from the top edge, like a skyline. Centre grows them both ways from the middle. Radial: Up points out, Down points in.
- Size
- How big the spectrum is in its tile: how far the bars reach, the wave's height, the ring's size. Over 100% it grows past the tile's edges. Layout → Spectrum → Size scales it too.
- Low notes in the middle
- Mirrors the spectrum so it is symmetric: bass in the middle, treble at both ends. Radial: bass at the top.
- Reflection
- How strong the mirror image under the bars is.
- Wave
- Filled · Line
- Line thickness
- Show unlit segments
- Number of bars
- Wave: the number of points along the line.
- Bar width
- 0 fills each bar's space, less the gap. When the bars are too wide for the tile they are narrowed to fit.
- Gap
- Smoothing
- How gently the bars rise. 0 jumps straight to each new level.
- Fall-off speed
- How fast the bars drop back once a sound fades.
- Sensitivity
- Higher makes quiet sounds reach further. Lower it if the bars sit at the top.
- Auto level
- Keeps the bars lively at any volume: the loudest sound lately fills them. Off, they follow how loud it really is, so they stay low when you listen quietly.
- Colour
- Unset, the bars take the widget's accent.
- Float over the wallpaper
- No tile background or border, so the bars sit straight on the wallpaper. Turn it off to use the tile's look from Appearance.
- When nothing plays
- Flat line · Nothing · Say so
- Flat line: the bars rest at their smallest. Nothing: the tile is empty. Say so: “Nothing playing”.
