ChromaBay vs AwViz

ChromaBay turns addressable LED strips into a canvas. Build glowing, animated light with a visual node editor — no code. Chain generators and effects, dial in the look, and watch it render live before it ever reaches your lights. DESIGN • A node-based editor: start from generators (rainbow, plasma, noise, radial, moving blobs, raindrops, fire, gradients, interference, orbiting color "Venn", moving color bands, and a Wave), then stack modifiers (blur, sharpen/edge/emboss convolutions, blend, fade, glitch, hue-rotate, mirror, tile, scroll, posterize, invert, and video-style feedback for trails and tunnels). • Fill any SVG shape and spin, pulse, or drift it. • Automate any control with an LFO, noise, or random — turn a static value into living motion. PERFORM • An Interact screen with big knobs and a color wheel to play your lights live. • Make an automation's speed or range interactive, so you can jam in real time. CONTROL YOUR HARDWARE • Connect over Bluetooth to ESP32-based controllers driving addressable LEDs (WS2812/NeoPixel and friends). • Set brightness and push patterns instantly. • Sync a playlist that auto-cycles patterns in lockstep across multiple devices. • Update device firmware over the air. SHARE • Keep a personal pattern library that syncs to your account. • Share any pattern with a single link — the whole pattern travels in the URL. • Browse a community gallery and adopt others' patterns. You can explore the entire editor and live preview without any hardware — connect a device when you're ready to light up the room.

Make your music visible with AwViz, a creative audio visualizer. Import a file or use one of AwViz's audio samples, choose a section you want to use, and build a visual that moves with the music. Combine AwViz's pre-set visual effects across multiple layers. CUSTOMIZE YOUR VISUAL • Create layered, audio-reactive animations • Choose intensity to react to audio's bass and vocals • Choose colors, shapes, patterns and motion paths • Add shape trails, rotation and custom movement • Use photos, videos or solid colors as backgrounds • Arrange, rename and duplicate layers • Compose in landscape, portrait, phone or square formats CREATIVE LAYER TYPES • Moving Shape — animate shapes or photo cutouts along preset or hand-drawn paths • Mesh — create geometric and organic animated patterns • Magic Wipe — reveal or erase colors, photos and videos with custom brush strokes • Plasma Conductor — build glowing, animated rays between placed nodes IMPORT, PREVIEW AND EXPORT Import your own audio, trim the exact section you want, and preview your composition as you edit. Export the finished animation as a video with its audio. Whether you’re creating music visuals, social posts, performance backdrops or something completely experimental, AwViz gives you a flexible canvas for bringing sound and motion together.
