Installed it and everything was working fine until I started playing with the settings. After a moment, changing the settings did not change the results. Restarted my PC, still the same. Guess I've got to go back to just Synapse controls until your final version is completed. (Keeping my fingers crossed & hoping it will work on my computer then.)

I've noticed that the visualizer seems to crash whenever FL Studio is opened (with the ASIO4ALL driver enabled) It might have something to do with the SDK idk Edit: The visualizer works with FL Studio open when it's using different drivers, but I have a low-end computer, so I'd rather use FL Studio with ASIO4ALL, since using that reduces the lag in FL Studio considerably compared to other drivers.

I've never used FL Studio or ASIO4ALL, obviously I can't support specialty setups that are using proprietary drivers and such. Basically if your audio setup bypasses the Windows Sound Server then it will not work. I expect a lot of audio workstation setups will use custom drivers and APIs that bypass the Windows Sound Server for low latency and bit-perfectness reasons. The WASAPI loopback I'm using pulls its data from Windows Sound Server. If your custom driver has a way to get a loopback data stream then you could theoretically add support for it.

I received three more peripherals today! Tartarus Chroma, Orbweaver Chroma, and Deathstalker Chroma. The Tartarus and Orbweaver integrated nice and easily into my code and are working perfectly. The Orbweaver is a 5x4 grid so it can have a full bar graph visualizer (albeit very rough due to the low resolution) and the Tartarus is a single color LED that uses the single color visualization setting like the DeathAdder and logo LEDs. I also figured out a trick for getting a reasonable visualizer on the Kraken Chroma. If you send a CHROMA_NONE effect before a CHROMA_STATIC effect, it cancels the fade-in. The downside of this is that it flickers due to the NONE command shutting the LED off before the CHROMA_STATIC effect sets the new color value. For the pulsing visualizer it doesn't look too bad, but a static background is really flickery. It's better than the nothingness that it previously did (basically everything just blended into some pale whiteish color) so I'm sticking with this flickering until the proper CHROMA_CUSTOM effects are supported on it. As for the Deathstalker, using the sample application clearly demonstrates that it supports more than just three lighting zones. Unfortunately it also seems that it doesn't like CreateEffect with the ChromaSDK:: DEATHSTALKER_CHROMA device identifier. Only responds to CreateKeyboardEffect which is not good since that would mess up what I have for BWC/BWCTE. Hopefully Razer addresses this with the next SDK and allows custom Deathstalker-specific effects (which would mean I could do a bar graph horizontally). On a side note, Synapse gets really finicky with lots of devices installed simultaneously. I have daisy chained 3 USB hubs to connect all the stuff on my desk and it took like 5 minutes for the Razer driver to identify everything. Synapse had to update three or four times and each time required a restart. Please do something to improve this process! The driver freaks out and kills every single other Razer device for a few seconds when you connect or disconnect one Razer device, and Synapse won't start up until you reboot which is really annoying. Build 1.07 with Tartarus, Orbweaver, and Kraken Chroma support: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Fq0HEJolPtREtFRUFNQV8yamM/view?usp=sharing

It works flawlessly, I tried on numerous musics and even in Planetside 2 and messed up a bit in the options... But now I can't reverse back to my synapse configuration, my keyboard is always black even at the launch of windows. I have a Blackwidow Chroma and I used the .reg x64 EDIT : I have deleted the Razer DSK in my Programs and Functionnality and restarted, It is back to the normal, still a great mod but need to be implemented in Synapse to be easier.

I tested the DA. (music is merely illustrative)
Media not available
It's working well just a litle delay and a sound card problem(i guess). small thing. 1) When i open the visualizer and unplug or plug the kraken(normal kraken, no chrma) my audio card lost about 50%of the sound. or just crash(and stop the sound in my PC). The visualizer stops but still open. 2) Spotify works perfect. Just, when audio cards crash, spotify says "can't play the current song" and start a loop to go to the next and the next music

Yes, with the latest build (1.07) it supports all of these: Blackwidow Chroma Blackwidow Chroma Tournament Edition Firefly Mamba Chroma Tournament Edition DeathAdder Chroma Kraken 7.1 Chroma Tartarus Chroma Orbweaver Chroma The only one not supported yet is the DeathStalker Chroma and it's due to an SDK issue. Use this download for 1.07, follow the original post for setup instructions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Fq0HEJolPtREtFRUFNQV8yamM/view?usp=sharing

This sounds like a sound card issue, nothing to do with my program. WASAPI does not handle output device changes I don't think, so when you unplug the headphones your audio device switches to speakers and the WASAPI session ends. Does it do the same thing when my program isn't open? The "can't play the song" thing is pretty common across other media players too. Clementine (what I use) will just sit there and not play the song until the audio card is ready and I've had my USB DAC lock up a few times that prevented it from playing.

That's just the title, doesn't mean anything. It works with mice (DeathAdder and Mamba TE) just follow the directions in the original post from Razer and use 1.07 in place of the download from there and it should work.

Yes you have to keep the keyboard visualizer open. Does anything show up in the preview window on the keyboard visualizer? If the preview window shows something that means your audio setup is good. If you're using a mouse you have to set Single Color Mode to Follow Foreground to make it flash to the music. By default it shows the background color which defaults to off. If you set it to follow foreground and your keyboard/mouse/etc. still doesn't flash to the music then you will need to install the SDK and the .reg files again.

Hi! I'm using now A Blackwidow TE, I can't seem to get it to work. Opened all the regedit files. installed SDK Installed Latest VC redit When I open Visualiser, it opens, gives the preview. IT just gives the preview but the keyboard is black. Also got Synapse Closed. What am I missing? PS: I am on Windows 8.1

Order is important. Redist first, then install SDK, then .reg files.

ok I tried reinstalling all of the files so I found out that when I install the SDK cores it shows cant write Rzchromasdk.dll can u post a backup for yours?

That's probably because it's in use. Close my app, uninstall the SDK from add/remove programs, and then try reinstalling.

It should ask if you want to add the contents to the registry, you must say yes.
