the art of Rythm
Secrets for a beautifull scenography
Although this question must remain subjective, we defend the idea that a good ingredient is the rhythmic tracking of light using techniques that have until now been impossible to achieve automatically.​
Sound reactive
​
To date, the majority of stages have already found a way to synchronize their light effects to the music.
​
Pulses detected from a microphone or audio signal trigger flashes or effects.
Multiband (equalizer bargraph)
​
This sound amplitude detection method can also be repeated for each bandwidth section.
​
Although this effect provides better dynamics, it still confers many disadvantages.
These effects are very random and cannot reproduce regular rhythmic patterns
A light console manages to create rhythmic patterns, only since you manually provide the BPM and the trigger phase, using the "tapsync" button on the controller.

Rhythm ramp
​Once the rhythm is decoded, the information is converted into a sawtooth-shaped electrical signal.
This repeating ramp is the rhythmic representation that is provided to each connected effects controller.​
This allows you to know at any time the position of the effect between 0% and 100% of its cyclical execution
Even when there is a variation in pace, the ramp maintains perfect regularity, for the greatest pleasure of the eyes.
​
A ramp is able to generate a rebound effect​
High resolution requires the following rules:
-
Consistency of effect
-
No effect interruption
-
Performing the effect completely
​
The eye perceives the tiniest imperfections of light
Dynamics
A second secret for successful scenography results from obtaining accentuated curves which give power to the music.
​
Obtaining or creating a dynamic curves can offen be difficult to achieve using effects softwares.
Without the use of these dynamics, your effects will stay lifeless.
