| MilkDrop | Run the MilkDrop visualiser, install presets, and use its controls. | 5 |
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. MilkDrop is powered by
projectM and supports its
.milk preset files.
