Music
The music room and the visualizer
Big album art, moving pictures that follow the song, and the room lights joining in. One button from the dashboard.
What it is
The music room is a separate screen for when music is playing. It has two views. Album art fills the screen with the cover of the song, washed in its colors, with the song's progress. Visuals replaces the cover with a moving picture, a lava lamp, an aurora, ribbons of light, that follows the track and its tempo. The visuals do not listen through a microphone; they read the song's tempo and the colors of its cover.
Getting in
- Play something on your music source (see Where your music comes from).
- On the dashboard, move up to the top bar and choose the music note button, named Music Visualizers. The album art view opens.
The album art view. The song fills the screen; the small buttons at the bottom take you further in. - A short guide card appears the first time, explaining the buttons. Choose Got it.
The buttons
A row of small round buttons sits at the bottom of the screen. Move down to reach it; each shows its name when highlighted.

Choosing a visual

Swipe up or down to change the visual while in full-screen view.
Which styles appear in Auto, and in this menu, is set in Settings › Visualizations, where you tick the ones you like. See The visuals, one by one.
Reading the corner
In the bottom right, a small panel shows the visual's name and the song's BPM (beats per minute). When room light sync is on, two color swatches show the exact colors being sent to your Main and Accent lights. Turn the panel off in Settings › Visualizations › Visual Info Panel if you would rather not see it.
Getting out
Press Back. From full-screen view it brings the controls back first; press it again for the dashboard.
