NAME¶
synaesthesia - visual sound display
SYNOPSIS¶
synaesthesia [--use-sdl] [--use-x] [--use-svga] [--fullscreen] [--width
w] [--height h]
input
DESCRIPTION¶
Synaestheia is a program for representing audio graphically in real time using
an attractive variety of visual effects. It reads sound data from
input
and displays the visual representation through svgalib, X or SDL.
While synaesthesia is running, moving the mouse over the window will expose a
set of audio and other runtime controls.
- --use-sdl
- Force display via SDL.
- --use-svga
- Force display via svgalib (i386 architecture only).
- --use-x
- Force display via X.
- --fullscreen
- Attempt a full-screen display (requires a fast
machine).
- --width w
- Specify a width for the window.
- --height h
- Specify a height for the window.
- input as cd | line | esd |
pipe frequency
- Audio source; this should be one of cd, line,
esd, or pipe. When using a pipe source, the sample
frequency (e.g. 44100) must be specified; synaesthesia will expect a
16-bit stereo PCM stream on standard input. The sound will be played to
the audio device.
EXAMPLES¶
- synaesthesia esd
- synaesthesia cd
- synaesthesia line
- ogg123 -d raw -f - song.ogg | synaesthesia pipe 44100
