Sound analyser
Description
DMXControl provides with the Winamp VB-Link Plugin an interface to the familar media player WinAmp. The sound analyser tool supports Sound-To Light (S2L) Effects , also for signals from audio input of your sound card.
Operation
The sound-to-light window fulfills two independent functions:
1. Sound-to-light
Here you can assign different Device channels to each area of the spectrum. The devices are then triggered by the spectrum level, i.e. DMXControl generates automatically DMX signals for these channels depending on the level of audio signal. You can use this feature for instance for "light organ" Effects.
2. Beattrigger
The sound analyser tool tries to extract beat informations from the WinAmp files. These signals can be used for triggering of music-controlled Effects. There are two modes for beat detection:
*Spectrum-Analyzer:
Here you can select an "active region" with the red rectangle. Whenever an area of the spectrum rises into this rectangle, a beat is detected.
*VU-Meter:
Here the beat detection is controlled by the red threshold marker hich can be moved by mouse. If the VU-level crosses the threshold a beat is detected.
It is not necessary to assign channels to areas of the spectrum for using beat detection.
Of course, you can combine Sound-to-Light and Beatrigger and use it in parallel.
Note: The red rectangle only serves as a threshold definition for the sound-to-light tool. It doesn’t influence the level-dependent values.
