Visualizers
Six ways to see the music
Each visualizer is drawn in the colors of the scene behind it, and keeps to the scene's quiet middle so the art stays whole. Try them live below: pick a kind of station and watch all six answer. The Soundline and Rays are free; all six come with Premium.
Spectrum Premium
Mirrored bars that rise from the middle of the screen, one for each band of the sound, low notes to high. When there is nothing to read, they lie flat and wait.
Soundline Free
A single bright line that traces the music as it plays, calm in quiet passages and lively in loud ones.
Stream Premium
A river of beads flowing from right to left across the screen, carrying the music past you.
Needles Premium
Slim pointed bars around a ring at the centre, named after the needles of embroidery.
Rays Free
Rays that reach out from the centre toward the edges of the screen, softening as they go.
Beads Premium
The rays retold as beadwork: strings of beads that brighten and grow with the sound.
The previews run the same visualizer code as the app, on sound shaped like each kind of station. On your TV they move with the real music. Prefer the art alone? Choose Off, and only the scene and the music remain.
Make it yours
Intensity
Soft, Normal or Bright. Soft is calmer, with no flashes and fewer sparkles; Bright lifts the glow for a lit room.
Change the visualizer every
Moves to the next style after 1, 3, 5, 10 or 30 minutes. It starts at Off, so the style you choose stays until you change it. The scenes have their own timer, which starts at 3 minutes.
Sync with sound
Speakers and soundbars add a little delay. Zoryia measures what your TV reports and holds the picture back to match, and you can fine-tune it in Settings to suit your own audio setup.
When the visualizer follows the music
To follow the real sound, Zoryia has to be able to read the station's stream. It can for most stations: MP3, AAC and Ogg streams are read as they play, and the visualizer moves with the actual music.
Some streams cannot be read that way, for example stations that send video-style segments or a format the TV plays only through its own player. Those stations still play, and the visualizer moves to a gentle rhythm of its own instead. When that happens, Zoryia says so on screen and gives the reason, so you always know which one you are seeing.
