james campbell Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The vu wizard is very fast and easy to use and would do the same thing,make the lights bounce to the beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Young Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The other option is a plain old color organ circuit. Easy to build, and as mentioned it breaks the music down by frequency and amplitude, usually into 3 (or rarely 4) bands based on frequencies.I still have one tree that uses a color organ circuit, using retro C7 LEDs (R, G and . Folks like it, and I like all of the "programming" it takes.. one LOR channel to turn it on (using a SSR), and then off.Another something different to add to a display...It gives an analog interpretation of music to the display, and is like comparing vinyl to CDs I suppose!GregPS I liked William's troll collection.. that was pretty extensive. So now I know what goes on behind the scenes at studios.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread the original post and missed the "without" part when talking about a sequence.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 ThanksDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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.

I use the Vu Wizard, Tapper Wizard and Beat Wizard, NONE control lights in real time!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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyromill Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamS Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rereading it I see where it was vague about the function of superstar. I apologize for that. So the options are LorVIS or sequence every song you plan to use.

WilliamS Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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.
