Description

Light Gradient is a field of colour seen through frosted glass. Two soft discs are blurred until their edges give out, then each is laid over its own colour ramp and stretched into a wide band. A noise field bends the result, so nothing in the frame runs straight. Swapping which noise does the bending is what shifts the colour — the hues are never tinted in, they are the ramps themselves pulled into a new shape.

Usage Note

Built with native auto-motion and fully adjustable parameter controls, including optional audio analysis demonstration components. The system operates standalone with no external audio wiring required. To drive it with your own audio, route your audio signals to the corresponding parameters. All default and tested parameter ranges are documented in the DAT table.

Parameters
01Shape4
Circle Size A0-1

Size of the first light circle, one of two layered shapes.

Circle Size B0-1

Size of the second circle, layered over the first.

Slice Width0.1-4

Width of the repeating gradient bands; also sets how often the motion repeats.

Shape Pattern0-10

Re-rolls the displacement texture; each value is a different, repeatable field.

02Color3
Color Mix0-3

Sweeps the palette by swapping which noise texture bends the image.

Gradient Spread0-1

Position of the bright end of the gradient; spreads or tightens the colour.

Brightness0.5-1.5

Overall brightness of the finished image.

03Output1
Res256-4096

Output size in pixels; ships at 1280x720.

04Motion2
Auto Motionoff / on

Master switch for the built-in motion; on by default, off holds the picture exactly where it is.

Motion Speed0-2

How fast the built-in motion runs; 0 freezes it.

05Presets6
Look Nametext

Name for the next captured Look; falls back to the Look id if left blank.

Capture Lookpulse

Saves the current controls as a new Look. An identical set of values re-selects the existing Look instead of duplicating it.

Lookstored looks

Your saved control states; picking one applies it immediately.

Renumber Lookspulse

Closes gaps in the Look numbers after deletions. Values and selection are untouched.

Delete Lookpulse

Removes the selected Look.

Restore Deleted Lookpulse

Puts back the Look you deleted most recently. One level of undo, until the file is closed.
