Release Note — C&G-STUDIO Audio Visualizer Suite
The C&G-Studio Audio Visualizer Suite is a complete modular system designed to bring real-world DMX-style lighting control into Virt-A-Mate — in the simplest and most user-friendly way possible.
This system was originally co-developed and customized in collaboration with @C&G-STUDIO , but we felt it might also be useful for the wider community. So we’re releasing it under a CC-BY license, along with a detailed manual and guide — hoping everyone can fully enjoy the creative process of building their own scenes.
This preview video shows the kind of result you can achieve after reading the accompanying guide and getting familiar with how it works — with just about 30 minutes of simple editing:
This suite allows creators to build fully synchronized, music-driven lighting environments without the need for complex technical setup. Each component can work independently, but together they form a powerful and flexible signal-based ecosystem.
A detailed guide is included, covering setup, workflow examples, and advanced control techniques.Included Core Modules:
RhythmReactor – Audio analysis and BPM detection.
BPMIntervalTrigger – Beat subdivision and rhythmic signal generation.
StageMoverMH – Motion control for DMX-style moving-head fixtures.
LEDEmissionFXController – Real-time LED and emissive light simulation for CUA assets.
MacGruber_LinearAnimation_Mod – A versatile multi-point animation controller for any object.
Together, these plugins enable you to control lights, movement, and visual effects precisely in sync with the music — just like a professional stage lighting system, but fully inside VAM.

Note on Credits
First and foremost, special thanks to @C&G-STUDIO for their collaboration in developing this plugin suite. Without their long-term exploration of lighting and stage effects in VAM, I might never have discovered the joy of “light pollution” that first drew me into VAM.
I’d also like to thank @hazmhox and @HAL9001 — @hazmhox ’s original VAMAudioAnalyzer and @HAL9001’s subsequent BeatIt plugin provided the solid foundation on which the RhythmReactor component of this suite was built.
And finally, a heartfelt thanks to @MacGruber — his Utils plugin made development of this entire suite far more streamlined and efficient. This suite also includes an enhanced and improved version of the LinearAnimation plugin, which is part of his LogicBricks suite.
