Overview

For the music controlled light show you also should have a look at the beat module.
It offers the possibility, beat so-called produce BPM studio [1] and therefore steer effects live and completely self-sufficiently by hand or with help of external sources like the free Winamp [2] or this. It is therefore another module besides the sound Analyzer to analyze music outside DMXControl.

The programs [ http://numark. de/index. php?option = com_content virtualdj. com/ VirtualDJ & amp & task = view & ID = 203 & Itemid = 278 NumarkCue ]; http://www. native-instruments. com/index. php [?ID = traktor3 NI TraktorDjStudio ], with help are the dmxcontrol. de/wiki/OSC _to_MIDI OSC to MIDI tools supports. |
Description
| Picture 2: The module icon |
| Picture 2: The module icon |
So that this « Beat module » the window accomplishes his tasks, permanently must remain opened. It is under the menu item « Window » find, as well as directly about the icon callable.
The beat module can be used to this that a special event-or you switch further. Scene module or effect module must the corresponding checking box be marked to this in the modules « bopping triggered » (« music steered ») being put. E.g. a single light/strobe in time for the music therefore can be activated or the position increases at a run light at every beat.
At first beat should in the mode around a feeling for desired or unwanted to get « Manual » Scenes being tested.
The red joist flashes every time if the beat module has generated time. Under this the temporal distance and the value in BPM get shown, by means of same (beat per minute) double-click which one can be edited, to provide a BPM value manually (e.g. of a beat counter at the DJ mixer).
| |
This only is, taken, however, if you in the mode « Manual » are. |
Installation notes
You can skip the following section, if you only want to use the mode manually.
The following steps are needed, around in the mode « WinAmp AVS plug-in » achieving first successes. This is the simplest way how you get the beat of an arbitrary (mp3-)song or a microphone in DMXControl.
| |
The mode « WinAmp AVS plug-in » the one who least shows delay between actual audible beat and visible lightning of the joist also is. |
| Picture 3: Selection by Winamp installation |
| Picture 3: Selection by Winamp installation |
You load himself down first the free player of the home page indicated above and take care at the installation that the AVS-Plugin is select. (All other hooklets can be removed)
 |
At some operating systems it can happen that Winamp must be executed with administrator rights before the player passes data on to other programs. (This is e. g. the case at Windows 7 in the test mode or Windows 8) |
| Picture 4: Aktivate the AVS Visualizers in Winamp |
| Picture 4: Aktivate the AVS Visualizers in Winamp |
If the player and DMXControl have started, the Plugin can be selected by means of right click on the spectrum (or Ctrl+ K).
The DMXControl-Ausgabeplugin can be selected in the AVS window then opening with a right click in turn.
The Winamp-DMXControl effect is only one in AVS after an installation of Winamp of many, why still recommends to remove the random case in the AVS editor to himself.
Controls
- The Beat module supports three modes:
- « Manuell »
- « WinAmp AVS-Plugin »
- « BPM-Studio »
Manuell

In this mode most functionalities of the beat module are utilizable. With help the « Tap button » a single beat can be produced. Two are at least used this so that the beat can be continued automatically beat. Directly under this « Tap button » the time can beat between the last ones be read in ms. The advertisement is limited on five beat intervals and reflects the current formula again for the mean average value which is issued in the form of beat ongoingly now.
The three values under the beat lightning reflect exactly this value again. the value just calculated is at second place (x/x/x). In first place this one arising from it beat-per-minute and the maximum deviation in last place of this time to the other tab badge petitions.
With « Reset » the determined values can be deleted any time.
With the buttons « 2 », « 1 » and « 1/2 » the multiplier with which the beat is distributed can be chosen. Has to be taken into account that this one « Tap button » in everybody case only the factor « 1 » changed.
You click together, at himself, that is a beat of 60 BPM, become « 2 » always 120 BPM and at « 1/2 » 30 BPM appear. Quite different at the manual overwriting of time. This stands « 2 », and we enter 60,0 becomes at « 1/2 & raquo; calculated down and turned around on 15 BPM.
If the function « from sound analyzer » is checked the beat after each other of time of the sound analyzer overwritten very simply becomes all 5, activated.

There we us but still in the mode « Manual » is, these can by hand by button any time « Tap « and being overwritten the other way round.
If the beat has come once from time, the can with help « Sync button » being helped. The becomes unlike « Tap button » no new (beat-)distance calculated but available time when pushing on the button synchronizes (started newly). The phase relationship is corrected short around.
Winamp AVS plugin
If you have followed the installation notes completely above, a beat should immediately be recognizable at choice of this mode. You can adjust a BPM maximum value with the regulator which comes to the application however only for an active checking box. The button « Reset » and the button « Tap » don't have any functionality for this mode, are, however, accessible furthermore so that a liquid change to the mode « Manual » possible without break is.
BPM-Studio
