So you are correct there isn't a way to do it in LOR without a sequence. The referenced plugin is the only way I know of that will do it. Also thanks to whoever used the word troll when referencing Williams post. I did not realize those dolls were called trolls. I now understand the meaning of the post. (told you I was not all that smart  Thanks Dan

Most DJs have their music on a laptop. If thkme OP has his music on laptop, then LORVis will blink the lights to music jyst like a color organ. No need for LOR software or a presequence of the song.

However, the LORVis plug in, although somewhat interesting, doesn't really do any justice, it is limited to only a single controller, 16 channels and even then, many times more lights are on than wanted. I've played around with it, it's interesting, but just won't really suffice for what the OP is wanting to do.

This reply was based on the first post in the thread where the OP wrote: ..i have not received my lor software yet and am just trying to get ahead of the game. i basically want some lights to flash to the bass, others to flash to the mids and highs for all songs that are playing. is there a simple way to do that with this software and make it automated... There were subsiquent posts where the OP talked about a hardware solution as well. I addressed that in a seperate reply. Dan

TJ Hvasta wrote: Ok, obviously somebody is missing something here!!!! either it's a word, sentence, idea or brain cells.. Then let me show you in their first post {bolded and italicized}: so i am brand new to the lightorama thing. i have several projects in mind. i plan to create some pretty cool christmas and halloween light displays like the ones i see on youtube. also i do some dj-ing at alot of my friends partys and other events. i was wonddring if there is any sort of tutorial on how to take different channels and make them flash to the bass, mids, or high notes of whatever song is playing on my playlist without creating a separate sequence for each song. i have not received my lor software yet and am just trying to get ahead of the game. i basically want some lights to flash to the bass, others to flash to the mids and highs for all songs that are playing. is there a simple way to do that with this software and make it automated so i dont have to create a sequence for every song for a playlist that is several hours long? Why would he be even looking at the LOR software if he wasn't planning on using a computer? So that to me states he was planning on a computer to run the lights, but wanted the software to do it in real time WITHOUT ever creating a sequence, which with LOR is not possible. The LORVis plugin, as stated earlier will do this, but not as well as the OP would want.

Call me crazy but someone else mentioned using dmx on the controllers. Without a computer using a industry standard dmx lighting console would most likely do exactly what you want to do. And with a computer and a way to connect up there is lots of software out there both free and way too much imho. Somewhere like Musician's friend, pssl.com etc you might be able to pickup one cheap. Might not hurt to check ebay, music shops around town and pawn shops either.

In superstar can you not setup certain frequencys or notes to fire? Without a ccr setup you have to run it a few times to get it laid out but can it not be done?

Crud no edit, LorVis you can setup specific frequencys but your limited to 16 total channels. Im curious in the hardware if you setup a few controllers to think they are all the same if they would all fire upon given commands. Still maximum 16 channels but a 32-48 channels spread out wouldnt be terrible in a party/club scene as most of the people there cant really tell whats going on anyway.

Seems like the only solution would be LORVIS with a few controllers.

I know the lower end consoles (American DJ, Elation, and the like) have a microphone input that controls lighting quasi real time. as do several of their moving lights

There are two software packages that come to mind. Freestyler http://www.freestylersupport.com/wiki/sound_2_light This software package will actually take a track or mic in and convert Hih's mid's Etc to DMX. this could then be fed into a LOR controller to give you the result you are looking for. DMXControll http://www.dmxcontrol.org/features.html will also perform the same action. Again - this COULD be done with the above SOFTWARE and LOR Hardware, but none of this would use LOR software.

JBullard wrote:How do you assign bass, middle and high freg in the vu wizard. This can be done by making several audio files in Audacity. The high pass and low pass filters remove unwanted frequencies from the audio. Filter out the bands and save each with its own name. Then in SE make each the audio file and then use the VU wizard. Eventually you put back the source audio file. I have used this to assign certain frequencies to props. Sometimes I also reduce the db on parts of a file so the VU does not pick it up at all.

Sorry about the misquote John. Should not have pulled out a section which changed your point. My apologies.

It appears that the OP has dropped out of the conversation. To clearly answer his questions, there isn't a real-time function in LOR either software or hardware. Dan
