Sound to Light: To RIO-A or not to RIO-A, that is the question...

Hi there,

I am about to program an interactive light installation for a small stage. The light canopy above the stage I've designed is supposed to be interactive with the music on the stage below. The music is live, doesn't have a timecode, and changes daily.

The light installation is controlled by an MSC4. Can the MSC's analog inputs function as audio inputs, let's say 4 different bands or would I need a dedicated RIO-A connected to the MSC4?

Reading through the RIO-A specs it says:

FEATURES
• Stereo balanced audio input with auto or manual gain adjustment (software adjustable)
• Per channel spectrum analysis with configurable 3–30 band configurable analyzer

Would that mean I only need a stereo input from the sound mixer and then the RIO-A spectrum analyzer in conjunction with Mosaic Designer would let me e.g. split the audio band into 3 bands (low, mid, high frequencies) and then I could trigger different lights accordingly?

Are there any programming examples available or more detailed instructions or audio specific manuals?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Erwin
