Baryon is a real-time cymatic audio visualizer. These docs have three tracks: Using Baryon for everyone running the app, Desktop for the live-performance app, and Developers for anyone working on the open repo.

​
Start here

  • Quickstart: render your first sound in about five minutes — no install.
  • First session guide: connect audio, frame the scene, set rotation, and save a repeatable setup.
  • Understanding the engine: learn what Baryon is rendering and how the main settings affect the field.
  • Creative workflows: choose source material, capture stills or video, and understand current 3D export limits.
  • Control panel reference: review the current controls exposed by the Baryon GUI.
  • FAQ: answer common product and licensing questions.

​
Building on Baryon?

The engine is source-available on GitHub. The Developers tab covers local setup and contributing and the engine architecture — the pipeline, the audio-to-render seam, and the stable contracts such as AudioFeatureFrame.

​
How these docs are organized

  • Using Baryon — guides for running the app, from your first session to creative capture, plus the full control reference and FAQ.
  • Desktop — the desktop performance app: plans, Baryon Pro, parameter automation, OSC structure export, and what to expect at launch.
  • Developers — how to work on the public repo and how the open engine is built.
