Signal

Sound as bars, waveforms, a scrolling history or an LED meter.

The signal draws sound: bars, waveforms, a scrolling history or an LED meter. Feed it a voice source and it follows the audio.

When to use which pattern

PatternpatternWhen to use it
BarssignalingLive level: bars that follow the audio.
WaveformwaveformLive voice: layered waveform lines.
ScrollingscrollingVoice over time: a scrolling history of levels.
MetermeteringA precise meter: an LED matrix with peaks.

Props

Every prop, per pattern. Values are your app's data; everything else is style. Defaults can differ per size (20 · 32 · 64).

The signal component is SinuaSignal. Pick a look with pattern; each pattern reads the props below. Sizes are engine sizes (20, 32, 64): defaults can differ per size.
