"What products does it work with? It works with the Blackwidow Chroma, Blackwidow Chroma TE, Firefly, Mamba TE and the Deathadder Chroma. Kraken 7.1 Chroma is not supported." Does this mean there won't be any changes made to other Chroma gear? for example: I have the Razer Deathstalker chroma keyboard. And the Razer kraken 7.1 Chroma no future plans to get these the same option?

Build 1.07 supports the Kraken 7.1 Chroma reasonably well. I had to do a hack to make it work, so it flickers a bit, but otherwise it was wait for Razer to update the SDK to add custom effects for it. DeathStalker is in progress. I have it working but it messes up the other keyboards. Razer is fixing this with the next SDK release and then the DeathStalker will work. The DeathStalker only has 6 LEDs so it will be treated as a bar graph horizontally.

Tried 1.08 but it's actually flickering. It responds to the audio of my PC perfectly but it flickers separately as well. Thought it'd share that Calc, might be interesting for you to know! PS: Blackwidow Chroma here!

Can you PULEASE make this compatible with the Mamba wireless??? Kind of annoying that it isnt EDIT: Most likely for wired mode only because wireless would have a great amount of latency

Tell that to Razer. I can't add devices that aren't supported by the SDK. They have said wireless devices don't have the bandwidth to handle high frequency LED updates and so they're not supported yet. No idea if/when they will be supported.

Why? my chroma mamba tournament edition mouse stops and cant scroll the cursor when i tried playing some music lights in the audio visualizer, then it crashes. So my remedy is to reset my CPU.is there any updates for this.

Read the past few pages...BW Chroma TE has been supported for weeks if not a month now. Use 1.07 (recommended) or 1.08 (experimental).

Try a different USB port. My DeathAdder Chroma was lagging and crashing with too frequent updates and I thought it was an SDK issue, but after I moved it to a USB hub it's rock solid and doesn't lag. Otherwise it's some sort of driver/SDK issue.

Yeah, I'm thinking they could do it in wired mode at least, but that doesn't help the fact that I can't support things not in the SDK. They still have some other devices to fix first before they tackle wireless devices. The Naga Epic Chroma is the same way.

ATTENTION PEOPLE WITH THE ISSUE OF IT THE KEYBOARD NOT REACTING ENOUGH: It reacts ALOT better when you have 5.1 Surround turned off.

Let your Razer Chroma-enabled devices rock to your beats with the beta Audio Visualizer, developed on the latest Razer Chroma SDK 4.8. Fire off the colors not just on your Razer BlackWidow Chroma, but also on the newly supported Razer Mamba TE & Razer Firefly! We’ll let the video du-du-du-du-do the showing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzX_puEu9u0 We really appreciate all the work our community developers have put in to push the potential of the Razer Chroma technology and our friend @CalcProgrammer1 has really done a solid job on the Audio Visualizer. This new Audio Visualizer gives you the freedom to customize the color scheme and tweak its amplitude so you are only limited by your own creativity. Did we mention it’ll not just react to your music, but also to game audio? Here’s how to get the fun started:
  • Download and install ‘Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015’ from Microsoft. Choose the vc_redist.x86.exe version
  • Download the SDK Installers and install the "SDK Core Files".
  • From the same download in (2), extract ‘Razer_Chroma_SDK_Documentation_Beta4.8.zip’ to any location.
    • Locate the file ‘Enable SDK Support.reg’ in the folder.
    • Run the x64/x86 for 64bit/32bit computers.
  • Download and run the Audio Visualizer.
(This is an early build so please pardon the manual processes – we’ll improve on this). Have a go at it and show us what you are doing with your Chroma hardware. Useful links: FAQs: To those facing the "mfc140.dll is missing" issue Download the Visual Studio Redistributable version "vc_redist.x86.exe" As this is a very early build, it clashes with Advanced Configurator occasionally. Change your effects to the default ones e.g. Wave, Spectrum Cycling. You can then launch the application and your keyboard/mousemat/mice will show a blank slate until a sound is played. What products does it work with? *EDIT* It works with the Blackwidow Chroma, Firefly and the Mamba TE. The Blackwidow TE, Deathadder Chroma and Kraken 7.1 Chroma are not supported FOR NOW. However, we will see them in the future! This is still an early build so hang on tight while more product support is being added in. The visualizer bars are really low, anyway to fix that? You can bump the bar's height up by increasing the amplitude or your volume (not too much please). How do I get the colours like the ones in the video? Adjust "Foreground Mode" to the colour scheme that you like. In the video, I used "Rainbow Inverse". You can also add a "Background Mode" should you like. Does it react to any sounds besides music? It takes your Windows sound input, hence any sound - including your games or movies! Do I have to turn off Synapse? Closing Synapse before launching the app will be the safest. Keyboard goes black but it does not react to any audio As the program is reliant on some limited functions by Windows, be sure that your volume is cranked up or adjust the "Amplitude" to a higher value (Try in the 500s or 1000s) I can't get it to work due to misc reasons that we have yet to identify I apologize for this, this was meant to be a beta build and I shared it earlier as I knew the video will get you guys psyched for the app! We are using your feedbacks to build a better experience. While it may be tedious right now, we WILL be reducing the steps and processes in due time with Synapse and etc. That is on top of more product support. Hang in there!
This isn't working for me... What did I do wrong?

Make sure that you've closed Synapse.. I forgot and had the same thing.

Even though it kills it first, have you tried closing Synapse manually and then loading the Visualiser?
