Notes
Disable Message
After no sound timeout a "Visualizer Disabled" message will appear; left click the message to restart the visualizer

Shape Frequency Interpretations (Used in example skins)
Singular.ini uses unique control points for each frequency
Sampled.ini uses 1/3 offsets from neighbor frequencies (half as many shapes)
Both interpretations have the same style options

Resource Usage
On my old system, the visualizer used 5~10% resources while active (slightly more if gradients are used) and less than 2% when disabled. Expanding the height, width, or interweaving will increase resource usage proportionally.

This reduces resource use to near zero when no sound is detected after the time out is reached or when manually disabled from the context menu. Left click the skin to restart the visualizer.
