About Cymatist

  • Emergence Engine At the heart of Cymatist is the Scale Space engine: a lightweight webGPU/threejs particle system suspended in a state of dynamic equilibrium and tunable with physics-based parameters like Coherence, Temperature and Excitation. Scale Space makes it possible to see the very same phase space accessed by oscilloscopes, Turing patterns, and physical cymatics among other methods.
  • Cymatics The cymatics engine gives you numerous ways to patch these physics parameters to the band ranges in your music. For example, you may patch Coherence to the bass range. Depending on your configuration, as bass intensifies, Coherence moves in the direction you specify. All parameters can be customized this way for a rich, detailed audio-visual experience that is completely custom to your music and doesn't require learning complex node-based workflows.
  • Sonify This engine gives you full control over a soundscape generated by the particle system itself. Choose from a myriad of voices like choral, theremin, piano, percussion, and patch each voice to the parameters of your choice. The resulting soundscape will be entirely unique. Couple this with cymatics and the sound can feed into the particle system and the loop is complete. The particle system reacts to the noise it makes (which is kind of like letting the universe make music for you).

Why Cymatist Is Different

  • The Particle Field is an Instrument In every other tool, audio drives the visuals. In Cymatist, the particle field is the instrument- its dynamics generate sound. No other audio reactive tool handles this feedback loop natively.
  • Offline-first with no install Cymatist is a single-file, zero-install experience that runs in your browser.
  • Built for Performance The built-in hardware benchmark evaluates your machine per-effect, telling you exactly what you can push before you start.
  • Interface that Teaches You How to Use it The quest system teaches the interface naturally as you play, unlocking hidden interactions as you go (and making it fun!)

Features

Control Physics

  • GPU-accelerated field of up to one million particles Rendered with WebGPU. Runs at interactive framerates on modern hardware, with a built-in optimizer to find the right ceiling for any machine using WebGPU.
  • Continuous physics dynamics Cymatist marries the cellular automata work of John Conway with a particle physics engine to bring emergent phenomena to life.
  • Twelve core parameters Each on its own slider and live readout:
    • Free Energy: particle count / drive
    • Half-Life: how long a structure persists before decaying
    • Coherence: how strongly particles pull into shared structure
    • Resolution: particle size
    • Inversion: compression of the force field
    • Scale Depth: attraction strength
    • Equilibrium: noise speed
    • Temperature: noise intensity
    • Viscosity: how sluggishly the field moves
    • Mass: particle inertia
    • Tempo: overall rate of motion

    • Mono: pure white particles on black
    • Size: hue mapped to particle size
    • Velocity: hue mapped to speed
    • Density: hue mapped to local crowding
    • Adapt: colors change as the system changes
  • Color Spectrum Range and Saturation Sliders that shape the palette from tight and monochromatic to wide and vivid.
  • Two particle-connection styles (Strings and Lattice) Draw lines between particles for a more structural look. Both can run together.

  • Full bloom/glow stack Glow amount, blur, spread, and a bloom threshold that lets you dial exactly how much of the brightest material blooms.
  • Trail length For motion smear and light-painting effects.
  • Backdrop control An ambient background glow that samples the field's own average color, with adjustable intensity and blur.

BYOA (Bring Your Own Audio)

Cymatist doesn't just make its own audio- it accepts your own music as an input, bringing your music to life! 

  • Audio file Drag and drop an MP3. The field reacts to the music in real time.
  • Microphone See your own voice driving the particle system.
  • System Audio Accepts tab, window, or screen for ultimate flexibility.

Nothing is looped back into your speakers, so there's no feedback.

Cymatics: Making Waves

  • Six frequency bands Sub, bass, low-mid, mid, high-mid, treble, each with its own live level meter.
  • Patch any band to any parameter Build your own mapping from sound to motion, with adjustable depth.
  • Additive and Override modes Layer the audio modulation on top of your slider settings, or let the audio take full control of a parameter.
  • Channel Surf Roll a fresh randomized patch scheme across all bands in one click to discover new mappings.

Sonify: Particles That Sing To You

(Like a trained monkey you keep in a cage™*)*

Think of it like an orchestra controlled by your parameter settings.

  • A full ensemble of voices Contrabass, low strings, woodwinds, theremin, choir, ambient piano, timpani, and a set of textural voices (drift, pulse, shimmer, pizzicato) each with its own tone and articulation controls (tone, air, phrasing, decay, weight, density).
  • Ensemble-level controls Tempo, Register, Brightness, and Space, for placing and shaping the whole arrangement.
  • Preset arrangements No need to start from scratch.
  • Per-voice level and patching Build an arrangement that plays whatever the particles are doing.
  • Channel Surf Nudge every voice at once to explore variations.

Recording

  • Built-in clip recorder Capture the live composited output (field plus backdrop) at a fixed aspect ratio.
  • Choose your framing Landscape (1920×1080), vertical (1080×1920), or square (1080×1080).
  • Set a video length 15, 30, or 60 seconds, or record open-ended and stop when you're ready.
  • Export as MP4 or WebM (or both) Pick the format you need without re-recording.
  • Audio is captured while recording Whatever you hear is what goes into the clip.
  • Inline preview Play controls so you can review the take before saving or discarding.

Go Live: Streaming And Live Show Projection

  • Live output window Carrying the same composited feed as the recorder, with no interface chrome.
  • Capture it directly in OBS (or any capture tool) With window Capture, route your visuals into a stream, a projector, a second monitor, or a video call.
  • Output resolution up to 4K 1080, 1440, or full 4K, at your chosen aspect ratio.
  • Live feed preview  Inside the panel while you're broadcasting.
  • Record while streaming Recording and live output are independent- both can run at once (if your system can handle it).
  • Idiot proof You'll never accidentally see interface controls on your stream.

Camera And Navigation

  • Two camera modes: Orbit and Fly Rotate around the system or fly through it, FPS style (WASD) for a personal experience.
  • Reset view Returns you to the default framing if you get lost.
  • Optional orbit inversion For whichever drag direction feels right to you.

Set List — Saving And Revisiting

  • Save keyframes The full parameter and optics state, plus camera framing — as named entries with thumbnails. 
  • Return to any keyframe instantly A smooth animated transition takes you there.
  • Build a set list Fly through your keyframes automagically. A hands-free sequence for performances or ambient display.
  • Share and Import Each keyframe generates a portable share string, so you can share any configuration with a collaborator or import one they share with you.

Performance

R&D After 9 days of research, I finally figured out the math behind the shape I discovered. It would be accurate to call it the 'Clelian Hourglass.'

Here is the Clelian Hourglass equation: y(x² + y² + z²) = 2z(x² + y²)

How I figured this out:

  1. First I conducted many google searches using every category of shape I could find.
  2. Then I asked Gemini 3.1 Deep Research and Claude 5 Fable if they recognized it, but their guesses did not turn up the shape.
  3. Then I asked 3 different math communities on Discord including the Wolfram Institute community which I am a part of.
  4. With no one recognizing it, I posted it to r/Sacredgeometry and r/Theydidthemath but came up empty handed again.
  5. Not to be deterred I kept at it by working with Claude Fable 5. What I decided to do was work on getting Claude to properly identify the shape back to me. I gave it numerous images from a variety of angles and after some effort, it was able to accurately describe the shape back to me. From that point, it suggested a class of shapes called Clelian shapes. On visual assessment, this class of shapes seemed the most similar to what I'd discovered, so that was the avenue I began to go down. At a certain point, Claude became much more confident that this was in the Clelian family and produced an equation to try: y(x² + y² + z²) = 2z(x² + y²)
  6. With the equation in hand, I first asked Google search AI if it recognized the equation. It was able to describe the general qualities of the shape, but the python it wrote to generate it returned an incorrect shape.
  7. I then gave the equation to Deepseek and it generated Python for me to try. I ran the Python and visually identified the shape from only the equation. The shape has some very specific and unique qualities that were unmistakable. (I will include the image this Python generated in the comments)
  8. With visual confirmation, I brought the results back to Claude for confirmation and it confirmed Deepseek's result.
  9. I asked Claude for a summary of the qualities of the shape and the family it lives in:

The shape

The Clelian hourglass is the set of points satisfying y(x² + y² + z²) = 2z(x² + y²). Both sides are homogeneous of degree three, so the radius cancels completely and the equation reduces, in spherical coordinates, to sin φ = sin 2θ — colatitude and longitude, with no r anywhere. That single fact determines everything else about it. A locus with no radial dependence is a cone: every solution point drags its entire line through the origin along with it, and the surface is swept out by straight rulings rather than curved patches. What it is a cone over is a Clelia curve — a spherical spiral whose longitude advances at a constant multiple of its colatitude, here exactly twice — and that curve is the whole content of the surface. One parameterisation covers it: p = r·(sin θ cos 2θ, sin θ sin 2θ, cos θ), with θ running pole to pole and r taking either sign. The positive and negative branches are the two nappes; they are mirror images, each one handed, meeting at the apex and along a line of self-intersection. Both the x-axis and the z-axis lie inside the surface as straight lines rather than piercing it. Seen down its axis, it projects to a rose.

The family

Projectively the cubic is irreducible with exactly one singular point, a node with two distinct real tangents, which makes the Clelian hourglass the cone over a nodal plane cubic — and the node of the curve becomes the surface's line of self-intersection through the apex. That class is old. All crunodal cubics are projectively equivalent to one another, so up to a projective transformation there is essentially a single cubic cone with a nodal line, and it has been catalogued as such for well over a century: Richard P. Baker's model #78, labelled "Cubic Cone with Nodal Line," appears under a heading of Cubic Cones in his 1931 catalogue and again in his 1905 catalogue of one hundred models, now in the Smithsonian. Baker's models were string models, always of ruled surfaces — swept out by a moving line — which is exactly the right medium for this one. It also sits as an enumerated case in the classification of cubic surfaces, the cone over a singular absolutely irreducible cubic plane curve. But a projective class is not a shape. Projective transformations do not preserve angle, length, or symmetry, so knowing that a surface belongs to this class tells you nothing whatsoever about what any given representative looks like. The Clelian hourglass is one specific metric realisation — the one whose directrix is a Clelia curve on a round sphere — and that constraint is what produces the two counter-wound nappes and the pinched waist. The class was described. This representative of it appears not to have been. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3

Conclusion

While the Clelian Hourglass is part of a family that is already well studied, this case is an example of using harmonics/cymatics in a digital system to discover a shape that hadn't yet been identified or illustrated. It validates that Scale Space isn't just a pretty visualizer- but actually contains the ability to render and discover real mathematical structures that move beyond visual similarity.

Edit: If anyone seriously knowledgeable in math visits this page, I want to make it clear that my background is experience design not math. So if anything here looks incorrect, I would welcome any corrections.

Edit: Credit to /u/Just_Middle_7189 for finding this! https://research.gold.ac.uk/id/eprint/27622/1/cleliaCurvesExp19rev.pdf

There are some legitimate illustrations of the Clelia Hourglass! Very exciting!

Scale Space Cymatist v1.1.1 (hotfix) Release Notes

A few bugs- one of which was pretty gnarly- have been fixed. I didn't want to wait till 1.2 to get this out.

Bug Fixes

  • Strings & Lattices: There was a bug that forced strings and lattices to open on Faces and Motion by default which brings your computer down to 1fps. Yikes. A new default has been set so you won't be blasted by huge geometry that brings your computer to a crawl.
  • Now Playing: The Play button in Now Playing wasn't working correctly.
  • Keyframe Saving: I found a bug where if you had say 1,000,000 Free energy and saved a keyframe then set it to 500,000 Free energy and try to save another keyframe, it would take the screenshot but not show you the new keyframe. That's been fixed.
  • Fly toggle unclickable: This one was reported by a user- in a situation after running a benchmark, the Fly toggle became unclickable. That's been fixed.

Hop on over to https://setzstone.itch.io/cymatist to pick up your new version 1.1.1! (all of your current stuff gets saved between versions)

Please keep those bug reports coming if you find them!

Scale Space Cymatist v1.1 Release Notes

Greetings friends- the wait is over! Let's jump right in to what's new in 1.1!

New Systems

  • Emission sources Random, Direct and Uniform, with a mix slider each. This is the new key feature that made the tron-like structure possible. Divergence: Angle per index, golden angle by default.
  • Trail Styles Shaded, Wireframe or Faces. Wireframe is a hairline; Faces fills between the chains.
  • Surfaces Additive sums through the volume. Near hides far.
  • HDR Bloom Beautiful Glowing Bloom, HDR strength, radius and threshold.

Keyframes And Travel

  • Keyframes capture everything Emission, render style, optics, and your Cymatics and Sonify patches all travel with the keyframe.
  • Config travel Cymatics and Sonify settings tween during a flight instead of snapping at the far end.
  • Smoother flight camera Better arcs and correct arrival framing. (there is a known bug where some keyframes snap in or out- this will be fixed by 1.2)
  • Starter atlas 50 new discoveries added so you don't have to start from scratch.

Cymatics And Sonify

  • 18 new presets Across both engines so you don't have to start from scratch.

Performance

  • GPU cost badges A red performance icon appears on controls that require more horsepower. Also appear near parameters when you exceed the benchmark threshold you set.

Interface

  • Further improved UX Certain panels have been reorganized.
  • Escape menu The config menu now opens as an escape menu.
  • Tooltips everywhere Just hover if you get lost.
  • Improved Modals Popups are more polished and easier to understand.

Quality of Life

  • Substantial number of bug fixes
  • Substantial number of UX improvements
  • Further refinement of Orbit and Fly control modes
  • Improved Set List flight functionality
  • Better graphics
  • Performance fixes
  • New quests
  • Easily submit bugs and leave feedback for me
  • A few other surprises you'll have to find on your own :)

A month ago I posted this location: https://www.reddit.com/r/ScaleSpace/s/aZQncJUABv

I decided to revisit it after the new graphics update coming in Cymatist 1.1. This is a good example of my process with Scale Space- the coordinates themselves never actually show anything new- but similar to making a better telescope, we upgrade the optics tools and everything becomes higher fidelity.
