Module: Cava

The cava module for karlstav/cava

Config

Addressed by cava. Repeats and refers to the original Cava configuration. For any unclear option please check original cava documentation

option	typeof	default	description
cava_config	string		Path where cava configuration file is placed to
framerate	integer	60	Frames per second. Is used as a replacement for interval
autosens	integer	1	Will attempt to decrease sensitivity if the bars peak
sensitivity	integer	100	Manual sensitivity in %
bars	integer	12	The number of bars
lower_cutoff_freq	long integer	50	Lower cutoff frequencies for lowest bars the bandwidth of the visualizer
higher_cutoff_freq	long integer	10000	Higher cutoff frequencies for highest bars the bandwidth of the visualizer
sleep_timer	integer	5	Seconds with no input before cava main thread goes to sleep mode
method	string	pulse	Audio capturing method. Possible methods are: pipewire, pulse, alsa, fifo, sndio or shmem
source	string	auto	See cava configuration
sample_rate	long integer	44100	See cava configuration
sample_bits	integer	16	See cava configuration
stereo	bool	true	Visual channels
reverse	bool	false	Displays frequencies the other way around
bar_delimiter	integer	0	Each bar is separated by a delimiter. Use decimal value in ascii table(i.e. 59 = ";"). 0 means no delimiter
monstercat	bool	false	Disables or enables the so-called "Monstercat smoothing" with of without "waves"
waves	bool	false	Disables or enables the so-called "Monstercat smoothing" with of without "waves"
noise_reduction	double	0.77	Range between 0 - 1. The raw visualization is very noisy, this factor adjust the integral and gravity filters to keep the signal smooth. 1 - will be very slow and smooth, 0 - will be fast but noisy
input_delay	int	2	Sets the delay before fetching audio source thread start working. On author machine Waybar starts much faster then pipewire audio server, and without a little delay cava module fails due to pipewire is not ready
