Trapcode Sound Keys

Color Map Group

The Color Map Group allows you to customize the color and look of your VU meters. Color Map allows you to select a gradient preset or to create a custom gradient to apply to the frequency bars, as shown below.

Click one of the preset gradients on the right side of the Color Map area to select and apply it to your bars. Or double-click one of the gradient stops to manually change a color in the gradient. For more information about the Color Map gradient and its use, see the Color Gradient section of the Trapcode Particular Particle Group page.

The Gradient pop-up menu allows you to choose an orientation for applying the Color Map to your bars. The default setting is Horizontal, which applies the gradient from left to right (seen in first image, above). You can also choose Vertical , which applies the colors from the bottom of the bars to the top.
