Groups can be created in Chroma Studio to help keep the workspace organized. Toggling visibility is a quick way to make temporary adjustments without deleting any settings. You can toggle on and off a layer’s visibility by pressing the eye. This icon indicates whether or not a layer is visible. This allows you to create multiple layers of the same effect, and have them applied to different keys. This allows you to place temporary or reactive effects above a constant color pattern.Įvery layer can be customized to affect different light regions or keys. Temporary effects will only overwrite their underlying layer when active. Some effects are only temporarily active. When an effect is placed on top of another, the bottom effect will no longer be visible. This system is common in graphic editor programs, like photoshop. Layers operate by giving preference to the uppermost layer. Effect Layers ExplainedĬhroma Studio uses layers to organise the effects. You can place the center point anywhere on the chroma plane and doesn’t need to be located on a device. Wheel: The wheel effect rotates a color pattern around a center point in a circular motion. Wave will move a color pattern from one side to the other before restarting seamlessly. Wave: Typically when you think of an RGB keyboard the wave effect comes to mind. You can select any color and vary the brightness accordingly. Static: Static allows you to set a light region to a single color. The chosen color can be set to static, random, or to follow a pattern. Starlight: Starlight randomly selects a light region and fades in and out a color. You can choose from one of the preset patterns, or create your own. Spectrum Cycling: With the spectrum cycling effect enabled, selected lights will gradually cycle through the color pattern. The surrounding keys and devices will then light up spreading outwards, following the chosen color pattern. When using a pattern the leftmost color will be what is seen on the pressed key. You can select a single color, or colored pattern for the ripple. The ripple originates from the pressed key or device. Ripple: The ripple effect spreads a color pattern outwards in all directions when a button is activated. This will choose a color at random to use when a button or key is pressed. A single color can be selected, or the color theme can be set to random. Reactive: Reactive allows lighting to change when a key or button is activated. The colors vary with a mix of shades, with varying brightness levels. Alternatively, you can choose to use random colors for the breathing effect.įire: Fire uses two colors to create a fading burn-like effect. You can set two colors for the breathing to cycle between. The color of the light can be selected through the settings. High colors show when louder, bassy sounds are played.īreathing: The breathing effect slowly ramps the lighting up then back down. Colors on the left will be shown when low sounds are played. The pattern is a gradient from low to high. The color changes based on the set pattern. This causes issues if you have a multiple monitor setup.Īudio Meter: Audiometer uses the sound from your computer to change the lighting color. The region can only be set on your primary monitor. When setting up ambient awareness you will need to choose a region to source the colors from. The colors that show when using ambient awareness tend to be dull when compared to other effects. It will then use the colors on your screen as a reference, and change your lighting accordingly. Each effect has its own series of customisable settings, and can be assigned to specified keys and devices.Īmbient Awareness: The ambient awareness effect requires you to select a region on your screen. There are 11 effects that you can use to create your lighting profile. However, the effect won’t be updated on your devices until the save button is pressed. Typically you will want it set to “Fit all”, however during the creation process you may want to get closer to the preview.Īs you make changes the preview will automatically change. Towards the bottom left of the preview is a zoom menu. When you first open the chroma studio, you will see all of your connected devices on the workspace preview. If chroma is missing, it can be installed through the “Modules” tab at the top of the software. The chroma module should be active in Razer Synapse by default. Chroma is used to create custom lighting effects for connected Razer devices. Razer Chroma Studio is the lightning module inside of the Synapse software.
