Another noob.. Sound to Light using XLR

Howdy Marksranger,

what exactly do you want to control with Sound to Light? Do you want the sound to be able to activate cues in your

light console? Do you want the lighting effects to run at the same tempo as the sound beats? Or something entirely

different?

Hi,

I would like this option also... So when we push the "play" button  on the sound mixing table the cue starts running.. It would be useful.

This is a slightly different request. Congo cannot listen to a sound source. However, if the sound mixing table can send any kind of MIDI commands, this can trigger the start of Congo cues.

Sorry to bring this year old theme up, but I'm also interested in basic Sound to Light features/effects. Those can come in handy when fast setup in different venue is needed, or when some basic effects are needed that will react on sound but without strictly programmed design.

Is the "listening" problem hardware or software based (as Congo Jr. have Audio Line and Mic Input on 3,5mm jack ?)

If it is only software, would it be possible to implement basic audio filtering (Bass, Mid, High) that will trigger other effects, masters, palletes etc. ? Would it take too much "processing" time and downgrade performance of the console?

Hi,

In principle, the hardware is there. However, currently we have no specific plans to add the software processing needed to trigger from sound input. So far, we only have a few requests for sound-to-light functionality and we have a number of other features with higher priorities that we want to implement first.

Thanks Anders,

keep it on the to-do list somewhere ;)

Cheers!
