Download/HomepageFirst, I had to go back to the site a second
time, because I lacked a program called openGLI that I remembered
seeing at the synthesoft site, but I make the mistakes and go
back and forth, so you don't have to! Isn’t that great?
Anyway, this screensaver also comes with a program called CD
SpectrumPro3.2, so that you can play audio cds or wavs, and make
the screensaver “dance to the music”; and I don’t
know which part is better, the screensaver or CD SpectrumPro. The
one bad thing is that the $20 registration fee is only for the
screensaver; if you want to register CD SpectrumPro, it will be
$20 more. But, in the spirit of fair play, Synthesoft says if you
register both at the same time, they will give you a bulk rate of
$30 for both.The only other bad thing is that while the
screensaver is unregistered, these annoying dialog boxes will pop
up about every 90 seconds, and remind you to register the
program.
5 years ago, when I got my first IBM, I also got a commercial
screen saver that I have used ever since; and this is the first
screen saver I have found since then that I have liked. I must
say, though, half the fun of the whole thing is the CD
SpectrumPro3.2; you get so many ways to adjust things, by the
time you have finished half of the “button testing”,
you’ll have forgotten what you already tried. CD pro opens
up like a 4 unit stereo system, you can play with these
separately, or lock them together as a single unit.
Cd SpectrumPro3.2 is not an equalizer; it is a spectrum analyzer.
As it says, it display frequency spectra without giving you any
opportunity to adjust them. I’m not totally sure what that
means; because it seems to me that there is plenty of opportunity
to adjust all kinds of things, but even if I don’t grok the
webster’s definition, its still fantastic. Play cd’s or
wavs and then hit a button called visual.. This opens a box with
your screen saver, which should be bouncing in time to the music.
The real fun occurs when you hit configure, and discover there
are 14 back-to-back main folders to go over and at least half of
those have 5 pages each.
Don’t let the “x,y, and z” stuff scare you; even
if you don’t understand it, or remember your geometry, you
can still have a ball trying all the different settings. I most
definitely recommend taking the time to download this. You
won’t be sorry!
