Orbital rings: the spectrum as concentric orbits
Concentric rings where radius is frequency — bass on the inside, air on the rim — so the whole spectrum is one readable diagram that turns with the music.
Who this is for
- Producers who want a legible spectrum in 3D
- Minimal and technical looks
- Teaching frequency and register
Radius is frequency
Each ring owns a slice of the spectrum, with peak caps that fall slowly, so you can read level and history at a glance.
The drums are separable
The kick moves the inner rings, the snare crosses the middle, the hats light the rim — three different events in three different places rather than one global flash.
Calm by default
Rings hold still when the music does, and only the register currently carrying the track takes the foreground.

Questions people ask about orbital visualizer
Is it the same as the radial spectrum?
They are related; Radial Spectrum is a wheel of spikes, Orbital Rings is concentric orbits with peak caps.
Can I use it as a lower third?
Export with a black background and blend it in your editor.
Does it work for spoken word?
Yes, though the drum-driven parts stay quiet.
Free?
Yes.
