Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hi might be a silly question but does a music program come with the showtime and hobbyist products from light o rama? and do I have to provide an mp3 player for the product? and how many songs can i program to the lor? i am from the uk and we do not have computer controlled kits so do not know much about lor.

It's built into LOR. How many songs can you program ? I don't know, how many CAN you program ? :smile: I don't know that there is a limit on how many songs that you can put into a show. Since it takes some serious time to program a song (about 3 hours per minute of music for my 64 channels) I don't think that you'll have a problem with too many songs for the show editor.D.T.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 How I do it:I ripped Music off of my christmas CDs, and used the LOR sequence editor to make my sequences.When I run the show, I use the sound card output of my computer and connect it to an FM transmitter. You can just use amplified speakers if you want.You can have as many songs as you want when using the computer to control the lights.I have never tried "stand alone" mode.Hopefully this helps.

Some people have provided their scripts for others to use, you still need to provide the music, plus you need to rearrange your light channels--so this is still not a complete plug-and-play option.Let us know if you have any more questions.
