uninstall the SDK and Synapse completely. Reinstall the newest version of Synapse. When I go to the Chroma apps there is no switch to turn on >.< it just show as below 'Looks like you don't have any games or Apps that can integrate with Chroma lightning yet.' and when i open the vc1.09 nothing happen
Do you see this:

Hmm, really weird. I just reinstalled yesterday and got the Chroma Apps menu with the switch after it installed all my stuff (which took quite a while). I can try installing again on a different PC with only the keyboard and see if I still get it.

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
Just being thankful for software programmer such as yourself :D Thank you for being so helpful toward the community.

No, that is not going to be the latest version, especially since Mark seems to be out of the office at Razer right now according to his autoreply email I got. I asked him how to submit new versions but no reply yet, so for the time being if you want the latest version you should read this thread. I'll post all new versions here first.

For me it's actually the other way around. At first it was mostly around the arrow keys and num pad, but now it's pretty much all the way to the left, so now from the mid to the right my keyboard is mainly dark. That is, after the last upgrade (1.09)

Chroma SDK is built into the newest Synapse, you do not need to manually install it anymore. If you have manually installed it I'd recommend uninstalling the SDK as well as Synapse entirely and then downloading the newest Synapse and installing fresh. You then have to turn on Chroma Apps in the new tab in Synapse.

It should... Did you follow the OP? Because that's way out of date and unfortunately since Razer posted it I can't change it. The SDK installation is no longer necessary - the latest Synapse (as of last weekend) has SDK built in. You just need to install the VC2015 x86 redistributable and then download the latest version of my program (1.09). Then it should work with pretty much everything but the DeathStalker.

For some reason, it still looks really really bad for me. I dont know if I'm doing something wrong or what... Everything works correctly BUT the colours just dont tend to follow the sound at all. When the music gets louder yes you can tell the difference, but looking at the video in the first post it actually goes with the rythm of the music, something I havent been able to achieve yet. Here's a screenshot of the program at the same time as the video playing, look at the difference http://i.imgur.com/Yr4FqLo.png The left side of my keyboard is 90% of the time at max height, and all the other parts of the keyboard are most of the time off or only show a little green when it gets too loud, but after that, nothing. It worked 'better' with the first version I tried (the one in the first post) but still never managed to get it working as good as the video shows. I'm using the latest version right now (1.09) Any suggestions? Edit: Another thing worth mentioning, sometimes, I have to set the amplitude at x% to see the colours (be it because my volume is high or low, doesnt matter), in quiet parts of the song, it's fine, but then it goes full crazy and the whole keyboard gets so lit you dont really notice anything related to the song, apart from being the 'loud' part of it. (If I set the amplitude at a level to see the loud parts normally, the rest of the song does nothing to the keyboard) All that said, the first problem mentioned never goes away (the one before the edit). Edit2: Just happened again and it reminded me, the mouse (Deathadder Chroma) randomly 'disconnects' for some reason. The lightning goes back to normal (cycling or the one you had previously) and I cant use it. I have to unplug it and plug it again to make it work. (It never happens if I'm not using this software)

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

now i really want the DeathStalker but it kinda makes me sad to see how the BlackWidow has more lighting options compared to DeathStalker. I just want a quiet keyboard but BlackWidow has more lighting features and the logo on it lights up as well. I think I will still go for the DeathStalker though since I just need a quieter keyboard. Thanks for the reply CalcProgrammer

i did check out some videos of the stealth version but it sounds a bit too loud for what im looking for. plus the DeathStalker is very low profile which is very appealing to me as well so ya.

I got it installed, but it only supports YouTube for me atm.. I use spotify and daum potplayer and it doesn't do anything. It just waves a rainbow through slowly. And is it not possible to keep the settings and close the visualizer?
