I'm not sure if Randy is still going to be releasing this, but I'm working on adding this to GameEx and will be helping the Mala guys add this to their LEDWiz plugin for Mala.

It would still be nice to hear how Randy is doing this in the video.

he tells no lies.. I am a beta tester and it's starting to look cool

Comon Randy, how about a bit of support for developers who are trying to write software for your hardware?
RandyT:

There is much math involved.  It's not so simple a thing that it can be conveyed adequately without giving out documented source.  And I don't give out source to my software.

I have, in essence, developed a homebrew beat-detection method based on the compression waveforms.  Everyone will do this kind of thing a little differently, so I recommend experimentation.  You might even come up with something better than what I had.  But you can start by carving up the compression waveform data into pieces using weighted averages and act upon the results in a fashion you think will give you the effect you desire.  To be done correctly, there should also be a mechanism or two in place to try to cope with changing output levels between different songs or audio sources.  What you see in the video represents about 40 hours worth of experimentation and some pretty complex code.

There's not much I can offer you on your project in the way of assistance.  I haven't even found the time to finish my project yet  :P

Thanks Randy

I get the impression that you are not too eager to share all the details of your code as you want the pleasure of releasing a finished version first. Fair enough too.  ;)

But in the interest that this might increase Wiz sales (it ain't gonna hurt anyway) is it possible to give HeadKaze a couple more basic clues to save a lot of time please.

 What he is done so far is great but the brightness/colour changes are not as dynamic as yours and its is extremely frustrating and I don't want him to give up...   Anything ?
