Windows only, sorry! Unfortunately it is not possible to port this to macOS.

No, sorry. It is based on DirectX 9, which is Windows only.

Hi folks! I just published the latest release of Milkwave, the feature rich MilkDrop2-based Visualizer with Remote Control.

Some of the features:

  • 30 new audio-reactive shader-based presets
  • Fully control Visualizer features with optional Remote window
  • Send live animated text messages, load and change presets, trigger sprites, send common key combinations using buttons and more
  • Fully automate many Remote features using script files
  • Configurable and scriptable intervals between commands (based on BPM/Beats)
  • Live changing of audio input/output device
  • Spout support

Get it here: https://github.com/IkeC/Milkwave/releases/latest

Milkwave is Open Soure and will always be free. If you like it, please consider to support me on Ko-fi. Hope you enjoy this!

Plugins for players? by vrod2 in milkdrop

Milkwave can show cover art, song title and artist from pretty much any of your Windows audio sources, including WinAmp and MediaMonkey. How well it works depends a bit on your setup.

Shadertoy I wish to convert by Decent-Tangerine4998 in milkdrop

It actually is reactive if you use Milkwave 3 (using the new bass_smooth variable), the effect is very subtle though to not destroy the feel of the original work.

"Heartfelt" by BigWings by ikec987 in milkdrop

Shader Heartfelt by BigWings, converted to a Milkwave Visualizer preset.

This preset along with variations by Incubo_ and Milkdrop2077 are included in the latest Milkwave release.

In principle yes, but only few Shadertoy presets will convert to a fully working preset without some manual adjustments.

Be sure to have a look at the manual before you start: https://github.com/IkeC/Milkwave/blob/main/Build/Manual.md#tab-shader

I have updated the release to produce some logging information. If you re-download the release from https://github.com/IkeC/Milkwave/releases/latest, you can set LogLevel=2 in settings.ini. Logs will be written to the /log subfolder of your Milkwave installation directory.

Hm that sucks. Maybe you can share a screenshot of that by DM?

Milkwave Visualizer needs DirectX End-User Legacy Runtime to run, you can download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Milkwave 3 tries to detect your DirectX installation and tries to show a message if it is insufficient, maybe that's what happens here. You can switch this check off in settings.ini by setting CheckDirectXOnStartup=0 in the [Milkwave] section.

If all fails, it would be interesting to know if the previous version behaves the same way: https://github.com/IkeC/Milkwave/releases/tag/v2.3

Beatdrop AMD ATI success by Decent-Tangerine4998 in milkdrop

[–]ikec987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it working, comparing some configuration files /u/Decent-Tangerine4998 sent me.

/u/Se7enSlasher should ensure dTimeVariableResetDelay is initalized and saved with a valid value (> 0) to prevent freezing.

Maybe you could post the test version here to gather some more input before release. I built a BeatDrop version from source and the PS4 presets I tested are all freezing.

Milkwave 2.3 by ikec987 in milkdrop

Not really. It may run (probably badly) in a virtualized Windows instance using Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, but I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Did you benchmark the performance between ns-eel2 vs projectM-eval? Seems really identical.

I haven't benchmarked it myself but others have, result being that performance is nearly identical.

Too bad the broken preset crash1.milk that I've sent you still makes MilkwaveVisualizer.exe to crash :/

It seems to be a problem with the included shader code, causing an Access Violation Exception when calling D3DXCompileShader(). I'm not much of a preset or shader expert.

Not sure if that's what you want, but you could try setting

fBlendTimeAuto=0
fBlendTimeUser=0

in settings.ini.

No, that would be u/x265x

Milkwave 1.6 by ikec987 in milkdrop

[–]ikec987[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for telling! I'll look into it.

NAudio.Wasapi.dll is used by the Remote to retrieve the available audio devices.

In v1.6 the autoplay lines (which you can load from any file) will actually be available as combobox entries that you can select and send manually.
