Audio Visualizers

Spectrum Bars

56 mirrored chartreuse-gold frequency bars animate with gravity peak-hold caps on a dark canvas; a "live" button switches from synth simulation to real mic input.

When to use it

Music apps, audio player UIs, demo pages, or any dark-theme hero needing ambient audio-reactive motion.

When not to

Light-background layouts (background hardcoded near-black). Contexts where microphone permission prompts would confuse users.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change bar count to 40 by setting N=40, shift the gradient palette to teal-amber by replacing '#C0B459' with '#9AA187' and '#A9D22D' with '#22AEC3', and slow synth LFO by reducing sp[i] range from (.6+Math.random()*2.2) to (.3+Math.random()*1.0).

Safe to edit

  • bar count (N=56)
  • gradient colors ('#C0B459', '#A9D22D')
  • synth oscillator speed (sp[i] = .6+random*2.2)
  • peak gravity (pvel[i] += 2.4*dt)
  • spectral tilt exponent (1.35)
  • max bar height (maxH = H*.46)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (reduce check)
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • AudioContext never connected to destination (no feedback loop)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded to #131B12 — must edit CSS to change
  • Live mic mode requires HTTPS or localhost for getUserMedia
  • No reduced-motion fallback for live mic — draws one static frame then stops

More Audio Visualizers components

  • Radial Spectrum96 cyan radial bars radiate from a bass-driven pulsing core around a slowly rotating ring; driven by a synthetic signal or live mic input on click.
  • OscilloscopeCyan phosphor-glow waveform sweeps across a faint scope grid with ghosting persistence trail; click to upgrade to live microphone input.
  • VU MeterCream analog VU meter with a spring-damped needle, dB scale, red peak zone, and peak-hold pip. Synth signal by default; click switches to live mic.
  • Lissajous ScopeCyan Lissajous figure drifts and rotates on a dark scope grid with phosphor trail decay and a glowing beam head; a Live button upgrades to real mic input.
  • Waveform RiverMirrored cyan waveform ribbon scrolls right-to-left on dark; glowing dot marks the live head. Click LIVE to switch from synthetic signal to microphone.
  • Beat BloomCyan concentric rings bloom outward and particles burst radially on detected bass beats from a synth signal; a breathing center dot pulses continuously.
