foo_vis_milk2 is a port for foobar2000 of Winamp's MilkDrop 2 music visualizer. It additionally migrates rendering from its original DirectX 9 to DirectX 11.

MilkDrop 2 takes you flying through visualizations of the soundwaves you're hearing. It uses beat detection to trigger myriad psychedelic effects, creating a rich visual journey through sound.

Features

• Uses DirectX 11 for rendering.
• Uses updated libraries.
• vis_milk2 has been upgraded to use more modern C++ alongside DirectX 11. Deprecated or insecure functions have been rewritten and most unused functionality removed.
• Configurable through foobar2000 preferences instead of INI files.
• Compatible with the Default User Interface (Default UI) and the Columns User Interface (Columns UI).
• Tested on foobar2000 v2.26.1 (x86 64-bit) and Microsoft Windows 11 (Build 26300).
• Requires Windows 10 or later due to v145 Platform Toolset.
  • As of v0.9.13, requires foobar2000 v2.25 or later.

Installation

• Download and extract presets into this component's folder of foobar2000. This should be "<foobar2000 profile folder>\milkdrop2\presets".
• Some presets enjoyed by Ryan Geiss (the MilkDrop 2 author) can be downloaded from his website. The "Cream of the Crop" collection is another good source.
