| **Effect**                                  | Selects the direction of the meteors. Eight options are possible including Down, Up, Left, Right, Implode, Explode, Icicles and Icicles\_bkg.                                                                                                    |
| **Count**                                   | Controls the number of particles used for the effect.                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Trail Length**                            | Controls the length of the tail of the meteor.                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| **Swirl Intensity**                         | Controls whether the meteor moves smoothly or swirls/oscillates.                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| **Vertical Offset**                         | This attribute (applicable for the Implode and Explode effect options) adjusts the center of the effect vertically.                                                                                                                              |
| **Adjust count based on musical intensity** | If selected, will increase the number of meteors when the song intensity is high and will decrease it for quieter sections of the song.                                                                                                          |
| **Starfield Simulation**                    | Enabled if the effect value is Implode or Explode - Simulates a starfield burst.                                                                                                                                                                 |
