LuminAudio question .... yes "LuminAudio" from Randy 10-15 years ago

<< < (2/2)

unclet:
The first picture (pic1.jpg) shows all 10 LED assignments in the LEDWiz (ports 21 - 30).   After activating all of these 10 ports, I can see all of my 10 BLUE LEDs illuminated(on).

The second picture (pic2.jpg) shows the 4 LED assignments that are related to the 4 LEDs that remain dimly lit when no music is playing (ports 21, 24, 27 and 30).

The third picture (pic3.jpg) shows the Lumin Audio DEF application when it is started.   I keep all of the settings as they currently are and simply click "Start" then start playing music to see the BLUE LEDs flash to the music.

I am assuming you might indicate that I should rewire ports 21/24/27/30 to be on LEDWiz ports 19/20/31/32 instead, but please confirm.

I finally had time to try this (see pic4.jpg below for new wiring on the LEDWiz) and it seems to work most of time so I am happy. 

When the current song is PAUSED or FINISHED playing then occasionally some of the LEDs remain fully lit, but this is only occasional though.   When this does occur, then I can simply start/stop another song quickly and the LEDs go out since no music is playing once again.   Basically, at least I can keep the LuminAudio application active when no songs are playing while having a way to ensure the LED lights are no longer lit.

Thanks for your help Randy !

RandyT:
Basically, the solution you arrived at is mapping the monochrome (blue) LEDs to the outputs normally reserved for the Green and Red LEDs.  The default algorithms maintain only the blue LEDs at a low output level when there is silence, again, to provide some default lighting to RGB buttons when "idling".  This was a deliberate feature.

But what you did was good for your use case.  Tweaking the sliders should still work fine to tune the lighting activity.  You just may need to set them a bit differently than usual to get the desired activity level.

I do find it a bit curious, however, that they remain lit sometimes when there is no sound.  The delay and decay for those colors should eventually turn them off, unless the main sliders are set to be so active that this doesn't occur.  You may wish to tweak the sliders a bit more to see if this behavior persists across all settings.
