MilkDrop shows colourful animations that react to your music. Open it from
|
|
the top-bar visualiser button, Ctrl+Shift+K, Settings, or the mini player's
|
|
**V** menu. It runs in its own window.

|
MilkDrop is included on Linux and macOS, and in the Windows download for
|
|
Intel or AMD PCs. It is not included in the Windows on ARM download.
|
|
|
|
## The window
|
|
|
|
Drag the image to move the window. Double-click or press **F** for fullscreen.
|
|
Press **Esc** to leave fullscreen or close the window. Drag the lower-right
|
|
corner to resize it.
|
|
|
|
Like the other visualisers, MilkDrop follows changes you make with the
|
|
equalizer. Turning down the volume does not change the picture, even at zero.
|
|
It reacts only to music playing on this computer.
|
|
|
|
## Presets
|
|
|
|
Each visual design is called a **preset**. They change every ten seconds by
|
|
default; choose a different interval in Settings.
|
|
|
|
On first use, Spotifast automatically downloads the 550 MilkDrop 2 presets
|
|
and the 9,800-preset Cream of the Crop pack. You can download either pack
|
|
again from Settings. A built-in animation appears while the download starts.
|
|
|
|
Presets are saved in the `milkdrop` folder alongside your settings; see
|
|
[file locations](/settings-and-files/). MilkDrop is powered by
|
|
[projectM](https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm) and supports its
|
|
`.milk` preset files.
|
|
|
|
## Controls
|
|
|
|
- **N** or right arrow: next preset.
|
|
- **P** or left arrow: previous preset.
