# Blender Archetype Library > Apply reusable blender scene archetypes (wobble, flow, hard, bullet) with controlled layer behavior. Use when designing or refactoring LedFX blender scenes and masks for readable yet high-impact DJ visuals.

Choose an archetype by desired feel: wobble, flow, hard, or bullet. 2. Select background/foreground/mask effects per archetype from the lists below. 3. Ensure 1-2 reactive layers; avoid 0 or 3 reactive layers. 4. Tune brightness and speed by role (background low, foreground primary, mask structural). 5. Apply scene-specific overrides only on schema-supported keys. ## Blender Layer Rules ``` Background → ambient texture (low brightness ≤ 0.7, low reactivity ≤ 0.3) Foreground → primary visual (main color/motion) Mask → MUST be audio-reactive (controls pixel reveal) ``` **⛔ Never use as mask**: `gradient`, `fade`, `singleColor`, `rainbow`, `random_flash` (These are `Non-Reactive` in LedFX — they produce static, lifeless blenders) ## Effect Selection by Role ### ✅ Valid Mask Effects (audio-reactive) **Beat-locked (tightest):** `bar`, `strobe`, `real_strobe`, `multiBar` **Frequency spectrum:** `energy`, `equalizer`, `wavelength`, `bands`, `spectrum`, `pitchSpectrum`, `filter`, `magnitude` **Color zones:** `scroll`, `scroll_plus`, `hierarchy`, `rain` **Subtle:** `vumeter`, `glitch` ### ✅ Good Foreground Effects **Flowing:** `fire`, `lava_lamp`, `melt`, `water`, `crawler`, `energy2`, `melt_and_sparkle`, `marching` **Directional:** `scan`, `scan_and_flare`, `scan_multi`, `scroll`, `blade_power_plus` **2D matrix:** `plasma2d`, `plasmawled`, `concentric`, `flame2d`, `equalizer2d`, `soap2d` **Beat-driven:** `bar`, `strobe`, `keybeat2d`, `power` ### ✅ Good Background Effects **Non-reactive (pure ambient):** `gradient`, `fade`, `singleColor`, `rainbow` **Soft reactive:** `lava_lamp` (low reactivity), `fire` (low intensity), `noise2d`, `blocks`, `digitalrain2d` ## Archetypes ### Wobble Bed - **Feel**: calm, musical, warm - **Background**: `gradient` or `fade` - **Foreground**: `lava_lamp` or `melt` - **Mask**: `wavelength` or `scroll` ### Flow Mist - **Feel**: soft, flowing, melodic - **Background**: `fade` or `gradient` - **Foreground**: `water` or `crawler` - **Mask**: `hierarchy` or `energy` ### Hard Cut Reactor - **Feel**: contrast, aggressive, rhythmic - **Background**: `singleColor` or `blocks` - **Foreground**: `melt_and_sparkle` or `energy2` - **Mask**: `bar` or `strobe` ### Bullet Tunnel - **Feel**: directional, high-velocity, laser - **Background**: `gradient` or `singleColor` - **Foreground**: `scan` or `scroll` - **Mask**: `equalizer` or `scroll_plus` ## Guardrails - Avoid dual strobe behavior in foreground + mask simultaneously. - Keep mask for structure, not constant noise. - Keep background readable and not dominant. - For 2D virtuals only: can use Matrix effects (`plasma2d`, `plasmawled`, `waterfall2d`, `concentric`) in any role. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/abossard) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
