A stacking and/or moving effect

[dan-buckley]

This is an addition effect not a problem

A number of Leds moving from one end to the other. Based on a frequency/BPM best. Then stacking at one end, Bouncing back or skipping back to the starting end.

I am still moving through the effects to see if there is all ready anything similar.

This would ideally work across a few devices - In that setting like sticks of falling water.

Have a look at scroll and give its settings a tweak.

Unsure what you mean by your last sentence.

Effects spanning across multiple devices is implemented in our dev branch and will be released in our 1.0 release - no ETA.

[dan-buckley]

Thanks - I'll look at scroll.

The last sentence - up to 8 sticks hanging from the celling with pixels falling from the top of each based on the beat/engery/etc. but not all exactly the same. If that's 1.0 that cool.

[dan-buckley]

The scroll effect is good, but doesn't stack. It would be awesome to fire a number of pixels from one end based on a frequent (normally base) then have them stack at the other!

[shauneccles]

When would the stack reset?

[dan-buckley]

When full.

Another option might be to scale the number of pixels across different devices to keep them in sync or allow different size ones to fill up... differently!

[shauneccles]

Effects are device and layout agnostic at the moment - appreciate the idea about keeping it in sync but it adds a whole 'nother layer onto what is already 2 (or 3, I forget) layers of complexity.

I'll have a think of how to make the effect you're thinking about - no guarantees!

[dan-buckley]

Thanks I really appreciate it. It would brilliant.
That's why it was think of the scaling options pixel number as a faction of the device length. Then they should roughly be in sync?

@dan-buckley I'll play around with it soon, been looking for new effect ideas. If you have any more definitely let me know!

[dan-buckley]

@hypnotica Adding "Sparkles/Glitter" to effects can look good.

So having a bass pulse with highs creating random sparkles.

Also Scroll (from one end) pulsing on bass, but brighter and/or faster depending on the bass. So a melodic round bass would create a softer pulse. A harder more attacking bass would create a brighter more aggressive pulse.

I'll think about some other option - some of these might just be configure what's there better :)

Thanks

So having a bass pulse with highs creating random sparkles.

Real strobe sounds like exactly what you're looking for! I would however like to experiment with adding the mid/high sparkles to other effects, or perhaps adding some other bass hit modes to real strobe.

[dan-buckley]

Real strobe is quite aggressive - I'll check it out - as long as it can be soften with a decay - so that it pulses. Please let me know if you have any questions.

FYI
I have 4x 2m diffused light sticks (using WLED and Quin-Digi) that I use to support a DJ setup. The overall idea is to have a few scenes with different levels of intensity.
From Early on gentle rolling warm-up.
Through to smashing it aggressive strobing eye blinding make it stop - well maybe not quite that much :)
