We spent way too long on this. Every feature exists because we wanted it ourselves.

Beat Detection

Spectral flux onset detection finds every kick and snare automatically. Live BPM readout, no manual tapping.

Unreal-Style Bloom

Customizable glow with radius, threshold, and intensity controls. Runs smooth on integrated GPUs.

Who It's For

Same app.
Wildly different vibes.

People use Synthscape for completely different reasons. Here's how.

Discord & Voice Chat

Camera off, vibe on.

You're in a Discord call. Everyone's cameras are off. Your avatar is a static square. Select Synthscape as your camera and now your audio is a living, breathing light show that reacts to every word you say and every track you play.

Shows up as a regular webcam — no bots, no plugins
Works in voice channels and video calls
Spotify now-playing overlay shows your current track
Friends will ask what it is. Every time.

Discord

Zoom · Teams · Meet

Work Calls

Monday standup. Camera off. But instead of a blank square, you're a pulsing neon orb that reacts when you talk. Professional? Debatable. Better than your messy apartment? Absolutely.

Select "Synthscape" in your camera settings
Reacts to your mic — lights up when you speak
No one needs to install anything on their end

OBS · Streamlabs

Streamers

Add Synthscape as a Video Capture source in OBS. Turn on chroma key for a transparent overlay that reacts to your game audio, your mic, or both. No plugins, no browser sources, no fiddling.

Spotify · Any Audio

Music Lovers

Put on an album. Pick a style. Watch your music become something you can see. That's it. No streaming, no audience, no purpose — just you and your playlist doing its thing on screen.

Study & Lo-fi Sessions

Voice & Podcasting

Recording a podcast or going live with voice-only? Synthscape turns your mic audio into a reactive visual that pulses when you talk and settles when you're quiet. Way better than a static logo.

Questions

Things people
actually ask.

Can I use Synthscape as my camera in Discord, Zoom, or Teams?

Yes. Enable the virtual camera toggle, then select "Synthscape" as your camera in any video app. It shows up like any other webcam — no plugins, no fuss.

Is it actually free?

Yes, genuinely. All 24 styles, full customization, BPM detection, presets, Spotify overlay — all free. The $5 Pro upgrade unlocks HD virtual camera output (720p/1080p) and higher FPS. That's it.

What audio sources does it support?

Any microphone or audio input device on your system, including virtual audio cables like VoiceMeeter and VB-Cable for routing desktop audio.

How do I add it to OBS?

Enable the virtual camera in Synthscape, add a Video Capture Device source in OBS, and select Synthscape. For transparent overlays, turn on chroma key in the app and add a Chroma Key filter in OBS.

Can I visualize Spotify, YouTube, or game audio?

Yes — route your desktop audio through a virtual audio cable (VB-Cable or VoiceMeeter), then select it as the input in Synthscape. Takes about two minutes to set up.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10+ (64-bit) or macOS 11+. Any GPU with WebGL 2.0 support (virtually all modern GPUs, including integrated graphics). Uses less than 200MB RAM and runs at 60fps.

How does the beat detection work?

Spectral flux onset detection analyzes the frequency spectrum in real time to find beats automatically. You'll see a live BPM readout and pulse indicator. No manual tempo setup required.

Can I save and share presets?

Yes. Save your style, colors, bloom, sensitivity, and all settings as a named preset with a thumbnail. Synthscape comes with 6 curated starters like Deep Bass Pulse and Neon Galaxy.
