MilkDrop 2 Visualisation
By: oops
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 v2.1.2 (x86 32-bit and x86 64-bit) and Microsoft Windows 11 (Build 22621).
Installation
-
WARNING: foobar2000 replaces everything in the component's directory during install. Move the "presets" and "textures" folder to their new location before installation.
-
Download and extract presets into this component's folder of foobar2000. This should be "<foobar2000 install folder>\profile\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.
