Configure SoundSpectrum G-Force Platinum for TouchJams

[TouchJams Support]

SoundSpectrum is the maker of G-Force, which adds visual experience for audio. I've been playing around with it for a couple of days now, and really like what it has to offer. So, I thought I'd write up some instructions on how to configure it for TouchJams with multiple monitors.


Step 1 - Configure SoundSpectrum Audio Cable

Make sure this option is set when installing G-Force, and follow their instructions:


Step 2 - Make the G-Force standalone app run full screen

Using NotePad, open the file C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Resources\Common\Startup.py

Look for "import SoundSpectrum" and make it look like the below. The indentation with spaces DOES matter

import SoundSpectrum

@_time( '0:01' )
def action():
vis.SetFullscreen( True )


Step 3 - Make the G-Force standalone app run on monitor X, and disable some of the UI

Using NotePad, open the file C:\Users\(logged in user)\AppData\Roaming\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Preferences (Standalone).txt

Look for the following settings and change them as below:

Fullscreen.Device = 5
UI.ActivateOnClick = 0
UI.Enabled = 0
UI.ShowOnStartup = 0

For the Fullscreen.Device and multiple monitors, you'll have to experiment with values until you get the intended monitor


Step 4 - Hide the G-Force toolbar

Go to Toolbar Preferences, look near the bottom, and check the “Start toolbar minimized” option.


Step 5 - Make the G-Force standalone app run on Windows startup

Hit the Windows button on your keyboard, type "Run" <ENTER>, and type in "shell:common startup". That will open the startup folder, add a shortcut to the G-Force standalone app - "C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\G-Force Standalone.x64.exe".
