Live Session Behavior
These apply the next time you start a session with Luminous or Screen Mode turned on — on the Session page itself, they stay out of the way as simple on/off toggles.
General
Fade-in durationhow gently a session eases in, instead of jumping straight to full intensity. Skipped when Screen Mode is decoding a real signal, for an accurate hardware comparison
10s
Screen Mode countdowntime to get positioned before the flicker starts
6s
Screen Mode default brightnesswhere the brightness slider starts — still adjustable each time
70%
Generating a signal — no real embedded content
These three only apply when Luminous makes up its own pattern — the signal sent to external hardware, or Screen Mode's flicker when the track playing has no real embedded signal. None of them affect decoding a real Lumasonic, SpectraStrobe, or AudioStrobe track.
Eye driftlets left and right slowly wander out of sync and back, instead of flashing in rigid lockstep
40%
Brightness variationa subtle natural wander in intensity, so the light breathes rather than blinks at one fixed level
30%
Follow Music by defaultbrightness tracks the ambient track's volume instead of the drift wander above. Only affects the external-hardware signal — Screen Mode never uses this one
Decoding a real embedded signal
Decoder sensitivityhow weak a signal still counts as real — 5 is the practical floor. SpectraStrobe runs more sensitive than this at every level, since it reads dimmer than a Kasina decoding the same file. Only matters for real tracks — nothing to detect in a generated signal

Live Session Behavior settings apply automatically on Session — no need to revisit them there.
