[HOWTO] - Change iTunes Visualizer!

[Trip]

A wide number of people arn't aware of these features in iTunes, luckily my Mac OS X Features Guide team has found this information:

When in the Visualizer you can use the following keys to change the:

1) Current Motion (Lines, dots.)
2) Color Scheme (Red and Yellow [Lava].)
3) Some other thing, not sure what it is though.

Keys:

1) Q-change backwards, W-change forwards
2) A-change backwards, S-change forwards
3) Z-change backwards, X-change forwards


Mess around with the settings, you can come up with something fun...I'm sure of it.

*1) Current Motion (Lines, dots.)
*2) Background movement [correction]
*3) Color Scheme (Red and Yellow [Lava].) [correction]
for * look in keys
Keys:

1) Q-change backwards, W-change forwards
2) A-change backwards, S-change forwards
3) Z-change backwards, X-change forwards

"C" Show Visules info (what combo of * you have)
"I" Show song info
"T" Toggle "Cap Frame Rate"
"F" Toggle "Frame Rate Desplay
"R" Random Combo of *
"M" Toggle Between: "Freeze" "User set 0-9" or "Random"
"D" clears all settings
Shift # (0-9) Assign a number to a combo of * that you like
0-9 Go to the Visual assigned to the number
And finaly "H" (tells you all this stuff in desplay mode )

ok now can we move this to the HOW-TO part of MacosX.com?

Shift + Max Volume
Shift - Min Volume (to the point of a mute)

The visualizer is actually called GForce from http://www.55ware.com/ nad you can also get Whitecap for iTunes from the site...it's pretty damn cool! Also, pressing 'H' brings on more help.

 

[JetwingX]

many people already know about this. but this was a how to for the built in. but thank you very much (maybe i'll write a how to about gforce and whitecap)

 

[DMCrimson]

JetosX, prolly true, but still that 'H' works in iTunes and go on with that how-to, it sounds intriguing...

sometimes when i have a "rock" i can watch gforce for hours.. or at least it seems like hours... I LOVE GFORCE!

the kid who lived accross the hall from me freshman year had his first experiance with umm... illegal drugs... and walked into my room while i happend to have the visualizer on. He sat there for literally about 2 hours, watching it, and randomly ducking and dodging whenever it looked like stuff was flying at him. He then left and gave a rather long lecture on how to make the perfect broom. It was somewhat humorous. Oh well, moving on...

You can also freeze the current color/waveform/background combination, so it doesn't randomize... kinda cool when you have a nice combo on. I prefer the "basic" color scheme, or the dark dark blue one. yay!
