Rock your Razer Chroma devices with the Audio Visualizer

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!

*EDIT* 19th January 2016
Hey everyone! I can't believe it has already almost been 4 months since this post came up and Chroma has come a long way since then! The Audio Visualizer is no longer an early build and the setup process is very simple, I've updated the steps below accordingly.


We’ll let the video du-du-du-du-do the showing:



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:

  • 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'



Have a go at it and show us what you are doing with your Chroma hardware.

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...

  • BlackWidow Chroma / TE
  • DeathStalker Chroma
  • Firefly
  • Diamondback
  • Naga Chroma/Naga Epic
  • Mamba TE/Mamba wireless
  • Orochi
  • DeathAdder Chroma
  • Tartarus Chroma
  • Orbweaver Chroma
  • Kraken 7.1 Chroma


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!

I need to keep the Audio visualizer open in order for it to work, because when i exit it the keyboard goes back to the default customization. But when I open it back up it doesn't save any of the setting I had put in previously. Am i doing something wrong?

nah the settings reset after relaunch

Ok so i didn't update razer synapse until a couple of hours ago. And when i did update it to the latest version the visualizer stopped working, so i thought i just had to get an updated version of the visualizer and i would work just as well as it did before the update. But now i've been sitting here for hours trying to figure out why the visualizer is lit up, but my bw chroma, firefly and death adder chroma isn't. I have chroma apps on and i have enabled the 1.16 version of the visualizer, but still no signs of it working any time soon. Help anyone??

It looks like you will need to close all other Razer applications first (Cortex, Comms etc.) before trying to update synapse. If that fails, uninstall Synapse and re-download it from the website.

Does this only work with mechanical keyboards, or will it work with others like the Deathstalker Chroma?

It works qith the deathstalker, but not well. Since the desathstalker does not have individually lit keys, it instead flips the device sideways to shouw the audio visualizer. Insead of it beating up and down to the music, it goes side to side.

Works like a charm with those settings (you may need to turn your aplitude up depending on your volume level):

You need to have your Synapse turned on, also, you need to have your Chroma Apps/Settings/Chroma Apps turned on:

Then when you run visualizer app, it should pop up on the Chroma Apps/Apps list:

Then you can turn off your Synapse.

Plz update support Blackwidow X TE

Whoa just got a Blackwidow Chroma and I absolutely love the audio visualizer! Seeing it light up to the music is awesome 😃! It's a lot more entertaining than just seeing only green on my old blackwidow ultimate

Is there every going to be a way for it to work on the DeathStalker Chroma just like the video( in the future if need be)? I get lighting to come from the far left side to the right.

It only works left to right on the deathstalker. Its because the deatstalker only has hoeizontal lighting zones, and no vertical ones, so if it tryed to go vertically, your keyboard would just be one color.

It doesn't support BLACKWIDOW X TOURNAMENT EDITION CHROMA right guys ? 😞

Sorry for if I make any grammar mistake in that question, I don't speak English very well

I will definitely try this out later on my Deathstalker Chroma and Deathadder Chroma!

The Razer Visualizer works perfectly and the preset color schemes are nice but kinda of bland, but how can I create my own color schemes for the Visualizer?
