The entire control interface has been rebuilt around a larger visual stage. Controls are organized into Scenes, Motion, and Audio, making them easier to find without covering the visualizer. The active scene, scene position, capture status, and display controls are clearer at a glance.

The searchable library of 240 scenes fits naturally into the new layout, and the current scene can be shown directly over the visuals. Clicked controls now release focus naturally so they do not interfere with scene shortcuts.

Pressing H now hides everything but the visuals. The top bar, control panel, transport controls, and scene name all disappear.

Overall intensity, bass, mid, and treble now transition smoothly without making the visuals feel delayed. Higher reactivity settings preserve more detail instead of suddenly flattening at their upper limit.

Audio response timing is now separate from visual speed, so slowing down or accelerating a scene no longer changes how quickly it reacts to music. Reactivity settings are still remembered separately for every scene.

Beat detection now adjusts itself to the music instead of relying on one fixed sensitivity level. It catches quieter kicks, changes in track volume, and fast, distinct beats more consistently. It is also less likely to mistake one long, loud sound for several beats.

Detection recalibrates whenever capture restarts, the selected source changes, or the signal is interrupted. Bass, mids and highs, or the full mix can trigger scene changes in time with the beat more reliably across different songs and volume levels.

The current frame is held briefly and blended into the destination window, hiding the abrupt restart that used to happen when moving visuals between windows.

The selected scene stays put while timer progress and changes triggered by the beat continue from the correct point. If the Display Window freezes, crashes, fails to load, or closes during startup, the main control window now recovers automatically.

Full screen layouts now fill the available space properly. Opening Motion or Audio controls no longer cuts off the visualizer or leaves a large unused black area. Changing control sections also leaves the visual space the same size.

Rendering scale updates correctly when moving between standard and high resolution displays, keeping the visuals crisp without wasting GPU power.

Rapid scene changes now cancel older transition effects cleanly, preventing outdated crossfades, images, or overlays from returning after a newer scene has started.

Flash and Strobe remain available, but they are disabled by default, require confirmation during each session, and stay out of Random Mix until intentionally enabled. The app also respects the system Reduced Motion preference and avoids animated or flashing transitions when it is active.

Some MilkDrop scenes may still contain rapid motion, so anyone sensitive to flashing visuals should continue to use care.

A dedicated control now shows whether the app is listening, connecting, stopped, or interrupted. Capture can be stopped immediately and restarted without closing the app. This is useful when changing speakers, headphones, devices, or playback sources.

Interrupted audio, suspended tracks, graphics resets, rendering failures, and stalled startup attempts stop safely and provide a clear way to try again. Repeated Start requests can no longer create duplicate capture sessions, and launching repeatedly keeps one main app instance open.

Heavy audio and visual resources are reused where possible instead of being rebuilt every time Start is pressed. Transition timers, temporary images, capture tracks, and visual buffers are cleaned up when they are no longer needed.

Additional safeguards cover graphics context loss, failed rendering, audio interruptions, cancelled capture requests, and unexpected Display Window behavior. Reload shortcuts that could destroy active audio and display state have also been removed.

Scene navigation now works with arrow keys, Home, End, Space, and the existing visualizer shortcuts. Focus behavior, control labels, status messages, dialogs, scene selection, and screen reader information have all been improved.

Hidden controls stay out of the keyboard path until they are visible again, and active scene information is announced more clearly.

Audio is analyzed locally. Nothing is saved, uploaded, or transmitted. Electron requires a display stream to hear system audio, so Trippy Visualizer immediately stops the video track and uses only the audio portion for the visuals.

Only trusted control and Display Window pages may request capture. Commands between them are checked, while unexpected navigation, popups, embedded pages, and unapproved window actions are blocked. Packaged files now use stronger integrity settings, and the unnecessary macOS Keychain request has been removed.

The product name is consistent across the app and installers as Trippy Visualizer v2.1; the current internal release is 2.1.2. Packaged startup issues were corrected, installer names were standardized, and both builds were tested on real computers.

• macOS: universal Apple Silicon + Intel build; macOS 13 Ventura or newer.
• Windows: 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11. It installs for the current user and lets you choose the location.
• Testing: 92 automated behavior checks covering capture, beat detection, transitions, displays, permissions, keyboard interaction, security, and failure recovery.

Both downloads are currently unsigned tester builds, so macOS or Windows may show a security warning the first time they are opened.
