Newbie programming

[Eaglesclaw]

This is my first actual attempt on programming a song using LOR Visualiser.  Could not find out how to save it with music so I video'd it with my phone to post here.  Couldn't stop the auto focus, but still came out pretty sweet.  I am open for all critiquing as I an very new to this.  All input is welcomed.

looks good,,,only thing that I noticed was the fan on the right the colors are not the same as the one on the left. looks like yuo have a green and orange channel reversed. but good job on sequencing

Thank you and I will look into the colors!

Ahh I see, when I copied the fan I forget to mirror image the colors.  Thanks again.

In the upper right of your visualizer window you will see a slider bar you can use to darken the picture. It makes it look more like night and you can see the lights better that way.

Thanks!  I did try that but when it was darker than where I video'd it at the picture did not come out too good, so I had to brighten it for my phone camera. Maybe I'll try with some overhead lights next time to brighten up the screen enough for the camera.

I like that you used your "Tune To" sign in the sequence. I see a lot of displays that just leave the sign on all the time, which I think distracts from the display. Using it like you did to pulse to the beat not only integrates it into the display, but draws the attention of a visitor who hasn't yet found his radio dial.

 

Your Bethlehem star seems to have 3 channels, which is great as several of my props used to be 3-channel. When sequencing a song in 3/4 time signature like "Amazing Grace", I personally think a 3-channel prop looks good when sequenced 1,2,3,1.2,3,... You used 1,2,3,2,1,1,2,3,2,1,... (You're free to ignore that, it's just my personal preferences.) When sequencing a 4/4 song, I like to use 1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,....

Yeah I don't want a static Tune To sign.  I've seen a few before and they do look somewhat boring.  I'm still working on the tweaking the sequence.  I'm trying to get it to look like the Holdman star.  I figure once I have the real star in place I'll do my final tweaking.  I am planning on starting to build the star in just a couple weeks.  That star was not easy to build with the visualizer, but easier than trying to freehand the 88.5!!!

Ahh I went back and looked at the sequence. You're right, after the first 3 beats it reverts to 12321123. The first sequence is 12321.  When I copy/pasted I didn't get the first beat over the last beat.  I somehow placed it next to it.  I will fix that right away.  Thanks Steven for pointing that out.
