In Operation
GLava offers 5 different modules. Here’s the default visualizer shows cava style vertical bars.
If you want to try the other visualizers, run them with the -m flag, or edit the file ~/.config/glava/rc.glsl.
If you fancy something different, try the radial visualizer. It shares similarities with bars, except the bars are drawn around a circle.
To see the radial visualizer, type at a shell: glava -m radial
The wave visualizer depicts the raw left audio wave received from your input. It’s the least interesting visually in my opinion.
The fourth visualizer is graph. graph draws a vertical, solid graph of the fft output data.
The last visualizer is circle. This is a circle-style visualizer where the radius is the visualizer amplitude.
The music tracks are from the album Wake up by The Kyoto Connection. The Kyoto Connection is a free music project by Facundo Arena. The album is released under a Creative Commons license. Open source music played with open source software on an open source operating system. That could be my catchphrase.
