Can someone give me the exact Numbers for each of the Options in the latest build, 1.13, so it looks like in the Video?

I tried 0 delay on the newer versions and yeah, it's screwed up like yours. Try 10-15ms delay. If it's laggy try connecting the keyboard via a USB hub. I have mine on a hub and it definitely responds faster on the hub than connected directly, all my Razer stuff does. Not sure if it's a USB controller issue or an SDK one.
OK, thanks :)

Poop, It's not running on the Blade Stealth... Tried all the guides and troubleshooting, couldnt get it to work. If anyone is able to get it going on the Blade Stealth, please enlighten us! :)

Unfortunately I don't own a Blade Stealth. Keyboards are all different sizes due to key layout so I do them individually. The Blade Stealth has a pretty major layout change as well it seems compared to traditional desktop keyboards. I'm considering getting one but was going to hold off until the Core comes out at least, want a laptop for mobile gaming, not desktop replacement.

The keys are in different positions on the Blade Stealth. As developers, it's challenging to write code for this without the products to test on. We're working with Razer to find ways around this issue currently.

[SOLVED] Hi, For some reason my Chroma keyboard isn't picking up any sounds; the visualizer works because I can see the audio animation inside the black bar, but keyboard is holding on to pre-set Razer Synapse profiles ('Breathing' for example) even when I close Synapse. Isn't the keyboared suppose to turn all black (without lights) when you close Synapse? This frustrates me a lot because I really want this to work. Anybody has a tip for me, how I can get a proper signal from the audio visualizer to keyboard? Thanks in advance

How do I download the X86 version vs the X64 version? Again, I'm getting the same error as described above...really want this to work!! Edit: When I download the file, I double click the .exe and NOTHING happens! It just vanishes. Maybe I need the x64 version, how do I get? Also, how do I launch the app if Synapse is OFF? Help please? Very confused how to set this up. Yes, my gear is compatible....

The visualizer is only x86. You need the x86 Visual C++ 2015 redistributable to make it work. Get that from Microsoft.

Already installed that, from the .zip Now, alas, no matter what I do, I can't get the actual program to run. Here's what happens: I unzip the file. After I run the .exe, the .exe VANISHES and does nothing. I see conflicting advice RE what to do RE Synapse. I have the absolute latest version, that includes the Workshop yes? What am I doing wrong? Yes installed the C++ thing for x86. Running Windows 10 on an X64 box.

It does not work on Mac or Linux. It does work on Windows 7 and Windows 10, presumably 8 as well (not tested) and maybe Vista too. Supported devices are Blackwidow Chroma, Mamba TE, and Firefly. Only other Chroma device I own is a Naga Epic Chroma and the SDK doesn't support it. Here's my latest build (v1.03) which may fix some crash-on-open issues as well as has more foreground color options: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Fq0HEJolPtTnFLcE1DY0Z4VGM/view?usp=sharing I've been posting updates as they come to this video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsxzAOYoaAY
Okay this is super odd. I installed both the X86 and x64 thingies and restarted. When I download this new version and run it, the entire .exe just VANISHES from my machine, and nothing happens. What to do? Windows 10 btw.

Hey @Threemoons , I updated the main thread a week or 2 ago to reflect the new process. Here’s how to get the fun started:
  • Ensure that you have connected you Chroma device and updated Synapse to the latest version
  • Once updated, make sure that under your Chroma device > Chroma Apps tab, you have "Chroma Apps" turned on
  • Head over to the Chroma Workshop and download the Audio Visualizer
  • Install the vc_redist.x86.exe file that comes together in the zip
  • Launch the Audio Visualizer and get rockin'
You no longer need to install any thing else besides what is listed there. To be safe and have a clean slate (and the best chance of getting it to work)
  • Go to Control Panel > Programs > Remove Programs
  • Remove Razer Chroma SDK
  • Remove Razer Synapse
  • Download Razer Synapse and update it to the latest version
  • Follow the instructions above on how to set up the Audio Visualizer

Yeesh. Did all that, here is what I get. I double-click the EXE and it vanishes INSTANTLY. Do I need to maybe be running it out of a different directory and not just anywhere?

Extract the .exe from the .zip. Windows does not like running .exe files directly from .zip and tends to delete the temporary files prematurely. I'd say just drag it to your desktop and then run it, or if you want to add custom options, drag it somewhere else and create a shortcut on your desktop.

Le sigh....done all that, saved it to desktop, STILL vanishes. Tried posting photos of said vanishment earlier but had a brain fart and messed up on my Imgur links...still can't get it to run!! Could it be a Windows 10 thing? Mind you, I already had all anti-virus stuff turned off as I was in a gaming session... :mad_:

At first it worked fine but now it's so slow. Any ideas what's causing this ?

No idea, I use Win10 64 as well with no issues. Try running as administrator maybe? Try downloading the exe from the link in my signature and use the latest version (1.13). Nothing in my code deletes itself. You might have something blocking execution for whatever reason. Does it show up in your virus scanner quarantine? What about recycle bin?

Ah I was beginning think it had something to do with the layout after I realized the Snake SDK was showing targets "off" the keyboard after a while :P Alrighty no worries! Thanks!

I have this working on my Razer Blackwidow Chroma, which is great - but it only seems to work on half of the keyboard. It's as if it's starting from the bottom left hand corner, rather than the bottom as I'd expect. I've played with the various settings, but no idea what I'm doing - any suggestions?
