Beta versions:
Sound 2 Light (1.0.0.10) Beta - (2010-11-06) Download setup here (1173 downloads) This beta is a release candidate! Please report bugs as soon as possible.
[FIX] Closing the S2L application could cause an uncatched error while writing settings to file, crashing S2L as a result
[CHANGE] Functionality change in beat multiplier:
The "Off" button is removed and replaced by "1", meaning that when the multiplier is set to 1 and K/G (Keep on Going) is enabled, the beat triggers to FS will continue in the same rythm, even if the real beat is not there. You can turn this functionality to off by setting K/G to off.
[NEW] Added "Beat Divider" functionality. With this function you can divide beats by 2,4,6 or 8. Meaning that every 2nd beat (if 2 is selected) the beat is send to FreeStyler, the other is not.
You can use this function by swapping the Beat multiplier/divider with the new M/D button (Multiplier / Divider). When pressed, the interface changes slightly and the controls change to Divider controls. When pressed again, S2L switches back to the Multiplier functionality.
This beta is a release candidate! Please report bugs as soon as possible.
[NEW] Added "Beat Flash" functionality. This allows the user to assign one or more override buttons in S2L to control. Every beat the override button is pressed. This allow users to simple flash lights tot the beat without having to use the multiplier and multi step sequences. Flash duration can be set in msec from 100 to 10000 msec.
This beta is a release candidate! Please report bugs as soon as possible.
[CHANGE] S2L now sets a sequence to step 1 instead of restarting the sequence (FreeStyler 3.2.6 and higher only!). Herefore the sequence loop option does not have to be disabled anymore (but may be). This also fixes a problem when sequences were enabled in S2L while not switched on in FreeStyler.
[NEW] Created a config button that switches S2L to config mode as more and more options needed a special button or place. Ofcourse the beat detection is not interrupted when switching to config mode. Hereby S2L is fully touchscreen accessible again.
[NEW] When using the beat multiplier there is an option to restart selected sequences to step 1 when a real beat is detected. This allows flashing of strobes or other fixtures on the beat.
[NEW] Beat multiplier - the 4 blue lights on the right of the Beat button indicate the status. Rightclick those ligths to enable the multiplier and set your needs.
[FIX] Resizing did not work to make the screen big enough for Vista (and newer) machines
[NEW-EXPERIMENTAL] ATC: Auto Treshold control. Next to the AGC this can help for better beat detection. Default: Off, can be switched on.
[NEW-EXPERIMENTAL] ABC: Auto Beat decay Control, for an automatic more stable beat trigger output. This control works with info from the BPM counter. Default: Off, can be switched on.
[CHANGE] Moved the AGC button above the gain slider
[CHANGE] Window is sizeable
