The music aspect of the program is met with mixed reviews; while users appreciate the potential for creating custom music visualizers and the ambition behind the tool, many express frustration with the constant, unmodifiable menu music and the unintuitive music browsing interface. Additionally, technical issues such as crashes, lack of synchronization with music, and difficulties in loading custom settings detract from the overall experience, indicating that the program may still be in an early development stage.
“This is an incredible tool for putting visuals to music, an ambitious idea executed with clear craft and love of what makes music visuals enjoyable.”
“For any musician that wants to take the ability to pair your music to visuals into your own hands with as low a learning curve as possible, this is essential.”
“Brings a whole new element when listening to your favorite songs :)”
“Constant blaring menu music that cannot be toggled off, the tools for browsing music aren't intuitive (you can't select a default path or add shortcuts, the window looks like something pre-XP and cannot be scaled or customized in any way) and the game didn't seem to recognize anything in my music folder.”
“I've created my custom setting and I try to add my music - but I just get white noise and it crashes.”
“It seems like a fun concept, though it's clearly in a very early state - I haven't been able to get any of the presets to run, and any custom setting I make seems to not load after I 'load music' (also the file browser it uses is quite slow, and won't let me open folders so I need to manually type the file directory in).”

The graphics are praised for their creativity and the ability to effectively pair visuals with music, showcasing a clear passion for enhancing the musical experience. However, some users rated the graphics as average, indicating room for improvement in overall quality. The tool is noted for its user-friendly interface, making it accessible for musicians looking to create their own visuals.
