  • Winamp Visualizations free download - Spectrum Visualizations, Winamp Lyrics, Winamp Lite, and many more programs.
  • Winamp may seem to have to gone by the wayside in terms of technical advancement as a media player but this is not the case at all. Although it’s 21 years old it still commands a well-regarded fanbase and a big reason for this is the huge range of free and paid for plug-ins that are available.
  • Version 1.90, released March 31, 1998, was the first release as a general-purpose audio player, and documented on the Winamp website as supporting plugins, of which it included two input plugins (MOD and MP3) and a visualization plugin.

Geiss 2 is a Winamp audio-visualization plug-in that lets you fly through the sound waves of the music you're listening to. Geiss 2 is a sequel to the original winamp plug-in, Geiss, developed in 1998 and 1999. It even dynamically stitches together many chunks of pre-tuned assembly code for the main loop, to find the fastest code for your machine.

Step 4: Tweaking
For improving the reactivity of the beat/sound detection it is recommended that you install the low latency output plug-in from Jaspers here http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/

This is because winamp gets input THEN outputs (of which there is a large (for live set standards) buffer) THEN uses the visual plug-in. Windows
