Is it not possible to select multiple effects on individual components?

Hello everyone,

I have a general question about the effect settings. Isn’t it possible to set a different effect for each detected RGB element?

When I arrange the components in the selected layout, I can only apply it to one effect at a time. Apparently, there’s no way to apply different effects to individual components?!

For example, I’d like a rainbow effect for the graka, a hex layout for the fans, and a neon effect for the RAMs.

Am I missing something, or is this simply not possible with this software?

Thanks for reaching out! SignalRGB plays a single real-time effect across all devices at once. Multiple different effects simultaneously isn’t possible due to how our effects renderer works. However, you can use the LED painting tool to set individual devices to static colors (won’t animate), or choose effects with multiple zones that do different things. You can also arrange your Canvas layout strategically so different devices get different parts of the same effect!

If assigning multiple independent effects per device is not feasible, would it theoretically be possible to support multiple effects within a single Canvas, each effect being limited to a specific region of the Canvas?

For example:

  • One region of the Canvas running a Screen Ambience effect (screen capture)

  • Another region running an Audio-reactive effect (FFT / bass response)

Thnak you and happy new year!

Something that’s being explored, but is not currently possible. Either way, as of the time of writing this comment you can’t use more than one effect on a single instance of SignalRGB.

I understand about having a single instance of SignalRGB running at a time and that makes perfect sense to me BUT how about different save profiles for different games of the painted keys? I already paint the keys that I wanted for Helldivers 2 but I find I want different keys lit up for Cyberpunk 2077 and 40k:Space Marines 2. I’m not going to paint keys each time I want to swap games. That’s ponderous

You can try these steps:

  1. Paint keys for each game, save as a named Layout (“Helldivers 2”, “Cyberpunk”, etc.)
  2. Go to Macros, create a rule per game: Trigger “Application Started” pointed at that game’s .exe, Action “Activate Layout” with the matching one
  3. Optionally add “Application Ended” to switch back to default

You’ll need each game’s exe name (check Task Manager while it’s running). Once set, it switches automatically on launch.
