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.
• Supports the Default User Interface (Default UI) only.
• Tested on foobar2000 v2.1.6 (x86 32-bit and x86 64-bit) and Microsoft Windows 11 (Build 26100).
