Beam FX type Request

Post by battihu »

Hi!
It is possible to have one effect type (or modify one of the existing) which pulse on every beat synchronized?
I played a lot with settings but still not possible to lit up on every beat one times the lamps.

The sinus effect is ok, but this works as :
on first beat is on, the second beat is off..and repeats..
This cause every second beat lamp is on...even when I set the speed to 1/2 it's remain for me each second beat off.
It looks not in synchron with the music rhythm (at least not the dimmer at 100%).
On meaning for me : dimmer at 100% (light on), off dimmer is 0% (light off).

I think it works as planned, on each beat goes to the next step, but the first step is on, the second is off...this leads to that what I not like as much.

This feature would be great, especially using the beam FX with mic...
Simon, I think earlier we discussed about that.

I hope you can understand what I mean (sorry for the bad English)

Other users: how can you (or can you) somehow do this effect?

Thanks
(I like more and more the new update, solved some issues - color mapping, move seq. etc)
If this on beat pulse can be done I am very happy:)

Try the heartbeat beam effect in firmware 0.6.x. I've updated it to pulse on the beat.

Thank you, almost what I imagined.
Played with the settings.
Maybe for other users:
If you like pulse on every beat then the Beam FY settings should be speed: 1/2 (better would be 1)
In this case will pulse on every beat.
However on mic input will not work correctly (tried diff. speed settings...still not 100%)
Example : Queen we will rock you. If I like to pulse up on every bass beat, input mic theoretically possible pulse on bass beat.
Not on BPM, on the drum.

If I use the BPM as a input then at 1/2 speed the pulse is OK.

Hope maybe a solution will be.

I see what you mean. I've fixed the problems in 0.6.2 which will be out over the next few days.

With the microphone, good settings got this effect are:
speed 30%
Phase 0%
Size 0%
Fade 100%

0.6.2 update checked.
It works as you described:)
For other people: beam FX, heart effect will pulse on every beat!
Settings are from Simon.

I tried on BPM input too...
Here we need to change little the settings,
Speed:1
Phase :0
Size:100
Fade:100
with this settings I am very satisfied.
Thank you the update!
