For kaleidoscopes some of these are pretty nice if you like kaleidoscopes but the events and changes in the music, subtle as they are, should be reflected in the visual in my opinion, for the visuals to add to the experience. When the music changes but the visuals don't or worse if the visuals change without a noticeable audio event it can be quite jarring and only detract from the music. That said, I do like the amount of variation but would like it more if it were in sync with the music.

I agree.. just now getting into the heart of Magic so hoping to increase my skill with these. Would be awesome if there was a timeline feature. I can do it via a ramp I think, but have to do some math, haha

It depends on the kaleidoscope that was running. Some of them were lower frequency, some were higher.
