What Is It?

Kaleidostrobe is a visual plug-in for iTunes on Mac OS X. It generates multi-layered animated kaleidoscopic patterns that are beat synched to music. It works best with music that has a prominent beat with lots of bass, but it is fun to watch with all types of music.


System Requirements

  • PowerPC G3 333MHz or better
    (iMac 333 or later model Macintosh recommended)
  • Mac OS 10.1.4 or later
  • iTunes 2.0 or later
  • Hardware Accelerated OpenGL Graphics Card (ATI Rage Pro or better)
Kaleidostrobe has been tested on an original iMac 333, iBook 600, Titanium Powerbook, and G4 PowerMac. Kaleidostrobe should work fine on any late model (more recent than iMac 333) Macintosh.

  1. Double click the Kaleidostrobe.pkg file.
  2. Click on the lock icon and enter your administrator password.

Usage

  1. Launch iTunes.

  3. Choose "Kaleidostrobe" from the visuals menu.
