Creating Synesthesia Scenes
Synesthesia is a performance tool that allows you to perform real-time visuals that are also audio reactive and incorporate media. We call these Scenes, and under the hood they are GLSL fragment shaders that create visuals with code. If you're looking to create your own Scenes, you can start with the documentation for the Synesthesia Shader Format (SSF). Be sure to check out the page on SSF audio uniforms, which allow you to easily create audio reactive visuals.
You can also dive right in with the "Getting Started" tutorial, which will walk through creating your first scene.
To learn more about GLSL and fragment shaders, check out the GLSL Resources page.
