The Hypnogenic Screen Saver
By Synthesoft, Inc.
The Hypnogenic Screen Saver generates a dazzling array of mind blowing patterns. As the patterns evolve on your screen the shapes and colors will seethe and morph hypnotically. Users can customize the animations through a sophisticated interface that allows complete control over virtually every aspect of the image creation process. Included with the screen saver are hundreds of displays demonstrating some of the capabilities of the software. If, however, you wish to create your own displays, you can construct your own using the hundreds of controls that govern the animation creation process. The variety of displays that can be created is absolutely staggering. The Hypnogenic Screen Saver has been designed to work in conjunction with CD/Spectrum Pro in order to provide stunning visual effects that synchronize with the sounds from an audio source (like the CD player in your computer or an MP3 file). With many of the module controls you can associate a sound frequency, a range of effect, and a sensitivity. Fluctuations in the amplitude of the frequency will oscillate the control values within the range of effect. Included with the screen saver are hundreds of displays demonstrating some of the capabilities of the software.
