Oh, and an idea for people who can see the visualizer on-screen, but can't get anything on their keyboadrs; chance the amplitude % to something like 400. And just for the heck of it, I changed Average Size to 1. And I like Rainbow Inverse for colors, but that's just me

Looking for a way to turn on and off Keyboard Visualizer with just one macro key and load your custom settings? I was, so I wrote a VB Script to do just that and made it available here: /macro-button-to-toggle-chroma-audio-visualiser-on-and-off.9694/

I skipped most of these steps and got it working. I followed Step 2,4,5,6 but with razer devices plugged in, restarted, it installed sdk and i restarted again. then i had to redownload keyboard visualizer. at this point the on/off for chroma showed up. switched that to on and went into apps, nothing. so then I ran vc_redist.x86.exe from the Keyboardvisualizer.zip, hit repair and then it showed up in synapse. I ran the visualizer I already had instead of the new one from the .zip and it worked.

Sorry saw this.. 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.

Version 1.09 is ready! I fixed the poor normalization defaults from 1.08, it uses the default values from 1.07 again. Now the boxes accept a floating point value so the algorithm no longer divides them by 100. I optimized it to reduce CPU usage by precomputing the index lists when the program opens rather than computing them each time through the update loop. It shouldn't make a huge difference but I want my app to use minimal CPU time since it can be used while gaming. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Fq0HEJolPtdGVKbGoxNExhaXM/view?usp=sharing The biggest new feature is the command line arguments. You can now set the parameters by adding them as command line arguments, either directly in a command prompt or within a shortcut or autostart link. If you use the command line option "help" it will print out all the available arguments. Setting them is easy, for example: "C:\\Path\\To\\File\\KeyboardVisualizerVC 1.09.exe" amplitude=150 bkgd_mode=5 startminimized Put that in a shortcut and it will start with amplitude set to 150, background mode set to the 5th option (white), and the window will be minimized to the system tray (click its icon to show/hide it). Here is what prints if you use the help command, it shows all the available options and values: Available command line commands: help - Display this message and quit startminimized - Start in system tray Available command line arguments: Usage: argument1=value1 argument2=value2 ... amplitude - Adjust the amplitude of the visualizer bkgd_bright - Adjust the background brightness avg_size - Number of points to average decay - Percentage of value to decay every step delay - Milliseconds between each device update nrml_ofst - Normalization offset, floating point value nrml_scl - Normalization scale, floating point value window_mode - FFT windowing mode selector, values are: - 0: No windowing - 1: Hanning window - 2: Hamming window - 3: Blackman window bkgd_mode - Background mode, values are: - 0: None (black) - 1: Original (sinusoidal rainbow effect) - 2: Rainbow (HSV rainbow effect) - 3: Color Wheel - 4: Follow foreground effect - 5: White - 6: Red - 7: Orange - 8: Yellow - 9: Green - 10: Cyan - 11: Blue - 12: Purple frgd_mode - Foreground mode, values are: - 0: White - 1: Red - 2: Orange - 3: Yellow - 4: Green - 5: Cyan - 6: Blue - 7: Purple - 8: Green/Yellow/Red - 9: White/Cyan/Blue - 10: Red/White/Blue - 11: Rainbow - 12: Rainbow Inverse single_color_mode - Single color mode, values are: - 0: None (black) - 1: Follow foreground effect - 2: Follow background effect - 3: White - 4: Red - 5: Orange - 6: Yellow - 7: Green - 8: Cyan - 9: Blue - 10: Purple avg_mode - Visualizer averaging mode - 0: Binning - 1: Low-pass filtering

That's like way outdated, all of those are supported in 1.09.

This is not supported. If you want to have some custom settings, use the command line interface to add startup options with a shortcut.

Good news! The newest SDK supports the wireless mice, but only in wired mode! I have added the Naga Epic Chroma but need to redo the other mice as the data structure for mice has changed. The DeathStalker Chroma is also now supported with independent controlled custom effects, so it can now be added along with the Blackwidow keyboards in the same build. Hopefully I can get a new build out this week that adds these devices.

How do I make the visualizer more sensitive to the audio? The light shown on my BWC is so little.

Hey calc, I can run your 1.09 visualizer perfectly however the macro key for multimedia MUTE doesn't work anymore(cannot toggle,act like a disabled btn) is there a way you can find out why this happens? Every other macrobutton works but MUTE doesn't. ps: if I use razer synapse instead of 1.09 visualizer the mute btn works again

Build 1.10 is ready! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Fq0HEJolPtRDk5MFJkSGRydVE/view?usp=sharing This build uses the new 1.1.5 SDK release which now supports wireless mice in wired mode! The Naga Epic Chroma is now supported. In addition, this SDK release fixes independent control of the DeathStalker Chroma so it is also enabled and does not interfere with the other keyboards! I also fixed a minor alignment issue introduced in 1.09 where the Firefly lighting wasn't perfectly mirrored on both sides of the device. I am working on creating an installer for easier installation. I will continue providing links directly to the .exe files for those who prefer this method of distribution. I want to integrate the VS2015 runtime into my installer so that it is an easy setup process as well as distribute a ChromaAppInfo.xml file so that the Chroma Apps section of Synapse has correct information about my app. I may actually add this to the .exe itself so that it creates a ChromaAppInfo.xml file when run, so that you don't have to use the installer version to get this information shown. Also, NEW ICON! I made the old one as a placeholder and it sucked, didn't even have an alpha channel so it had an ugly white background. New icon is much nicer and made in Gimp. I actually drew three separate resolutions by hand so that the smaller 16x16 icon looks like something distinguishable rather than a blob.

Thanks, signed up just to tell you how awesome this is! A small feature request would be the ability to select which audio interface the app responds to! Great work man!

I'm waiting on Razer to break out independent support for it in the SDK. The code is already there to support it. Basically there are two ways to update the keyboards, either individually (one pattern for BWC, one pattern for BWCTE, and one pattern for DS) or all together. Since they all have different lighting configurations I need to update them individually, but the API call for updating the DeathStalker individually does not work (no response from the keyboard). I reported this bug to Razer and they said they're working on it for the next SDK release. The DeathStalker does not have per-key lighting, instead it has 6 lighting zones. I'm using them as a sideways bar graph type visualizer. Actually, I'll just put up a special one-off build of 1.09 just for DeathStalker, you can use that until proper support is implemented. Let me make a quick build. Edit: 1.09 DeathStalker (Do not use with Blackwidow/TE, it will look broken!) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Fq0HEJolPtVlNKMGxhZFpJMVU/view?usp=sharing
so i finally got my keyboard in today and i downloaded the thing from the link you provided but it doesnt even launch. does it not work on windows 10? any help with this please?

I got 1.10 to work on my system- Windows 10 64-bit. I then played around with the settings, and -I have to say this- This is an amazing app!!!! If I could, I'd record it an post it for others to see. I changed some settings, amplitude 300, FFT Hanning, Background Brightness 10 Background mode Follow Foreground, Average Size 1, Foreground Mode Rainbow. The end result? Mesmerizing, fantastic, pick your best adjective. In addition to the foreground effects, the background now lights up... in-freakin'-credible!!!! If the people who say Chroma is for kids could see this, they'd have a fit (and I bet more than a few would quietly buy a Razer Chroma setup).

It's no different than for any of the other products. Install the Visual C++ 2015 x86 runtime, make sure you're running the latest Synapse (should have a Chroma Apps section), then download and run the KeyboardVisualizerVC 1.10.exe program and it should be working. Note that the DeathStalker Chroma only has 6 LED zones, so it does not give the spectrograph visualizer like the BlackWidow but instead a sideways bar graph visualizer like on the Firefly and Mamba TE.
