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!

Hello,
I was wondering if you were working to get a new version of this program out in the near future, specifically for devices like the new Razer Blade (2016), and if so, how far along you might be?

Thanks,
~Spaz

All the waveforms are all coming from the leftside, unlike the sample video provided! Did I do something wrong? I would like it to display as it does in the video (For the keyboard)... Using a Deathstalker Chroma and Deathadder Chroma
A
does anyone know how to turn the visualizer bars on the deathstalker so that way they travel upwards instead of to the side?
A
there is a problem with my Kraken chroma its working with the app but they keep flashing rapidly can you somehow patch that because im scared something can happern to them
A

How come the trailer for the Razer Blade 14 (2016) shows an audio visualizer, but it doesn't even work with it?

Edit: Go to 0:55 seconds.

Probally because they were planning on making it compatable, but just either forgot, or its not possible. Ive had mine for 3 months and I am still waiting to use the audio visualizer. The stealth has been able to use it for at least 2 months as of now.

I've had mine for around as long as you have, and I'm still waiting but it seems like they only care about stealth users for some reason.

all the sound is to the left of my keyboard and not equal

I'm currently saving a ton of money and working to get the money together for my first PC-Build! If everything goes well I'll have it early in 2017, I'm so stocked about using the Razer Ornata Chroma 😃

So I see that version 1.1.7 was released, but on the chroma apps store, it only has version 1.1.6. Is there a way to get the 1.1.7 through there, because it added support for the blade 14 on the 1.1.7 version.

OMG!!! TY TY TY TY 😃

I like music. I like colors. I like this.
A
its only the x86 in my file
A
I see it working on my mouse, but the keyboard is just black, won't even display background colors. I have one of the special edition sets for mouse and keyboard, would that have anything to do with it?
A
Looks great, and seems a great idea, but is not working for me so far.

EDIT: Works perfect after turning amplitude to 1000%
AWESOME!!!
A
Yeah gotta do minor tweaks after installing. Was wondering why mine wasn't working till adjusted level higher.
A
Hey guys, I was just wondering if this will word on the Razer Blackwidow X TE. I'm looking to get either a Blackwidow TE or X TE, and this will be one of the deciding factors.
A
Will there ever be a version that will work with a razer blade stealth keyboard?
M
not working. was working fine some time ago but now nothing happens to my Mamba TE when I open it.
A
