The variety of displays that can be created is absolutely staggering.

The Hypnogenic Screen Saver has been designed to work in conjunction with CD/Spectrum Pro in order to provide stunning visual effects that synchronize with the sounds from an audio source (like the CD player in your computer or an MP3 file). With many of the module controls you can associate a sound frequency, a range of effect, and a sensitivity. Fluctuations in the amplitude of the frequency will oscillate the control values within the range of effect.
