VU Meter Bars Screensaver
The VU Meter Bars screensaver shows a classic bank of analog VU meter bars, bouncing to a simulated audio rhythm. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the VU Meter Bars screensaver works
The saver drives a bank of vertical meter bars with a layered, simulated rhythm pattern.
Each bar has its own peak-hold marker, exactly like vintage analog stereo equipment.
No real audio is analyzed — the rhythm is generated purely for visual effect.
Colors shift from green through yellow to red as bars climb, like classic VU meter zones.
A worked example
A bar surges toward its peak zone, briefly lighting the red segment, before its peak-hold marker settles back down over the next beat.
