I did some lighting for a hip hop show last week and had the idea of getting my source 4 par lights to become a vu meter for the bass frequencies. I was thinking I need to go through MIDI to get this effect to work. Any suggestions?
Yes you can do that. You'd need a RS485 transceiver like the MAX485 and write some code to scale the incoming audio signal into DMX values and it will work. If you want to use it in conjunction with the hog or other console, then you'd need to get a device to HTP merge the DMX signal from both console and Arduino to the dimmers.
