| How do I use the Lumin Audio application from GGG? |

I received my LEDWiz and tested it out by connecting one blue LED light to the PCB. I then started the main LEDWiz software, selected "LumAura Control", selected the circle corresponding to the port the LED light was plugged into and I saw it shined a nice blue color. I also read the "PreliminaryDocsSubset.txt" file and understand how a LWA file can be configured. Now, I would like to be able to use the "Lumin Audio software" to make my lights dance to the music produced by my computer, however, I have no idea how to do this. Will someone please tell me exactly what I need to do to make my one connected blue LED light dance to the music? I would assume if I get this one LED light to "dance" then connecting more LED lights eventually will be easy. I just have no idea what the relationship between the main LEDWiz software and the Lumin Audio software is ........ what is the secret? I open the "Lumin Audio" software and have no idea what to do .... |

The apps are stand-alone. No relationship, other than that you can define an animation in the editor and then use it in the LuminAudio software. If you do a search on LuminAudio, you should find a post in the software section where I have walked a couple of folks through its operation. RandyT |

I have seen your main post which announced the Lumin-Audio software: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=69607.0 ... however I do not understand exactly what needs to be done to get the LED lights to dance. Since they are standalone applications, am I correct to assume I simply need to do the following two steps to see the LED lights dance? 1) start the Lumin-Audio application 2) Play music on my PC The post (I link to above) states the following: --- Quote ---The newly added LWA file support, coupled with the new Delay and Decay sliders, will open up things for mono-LED users quite a bit though --- End quote --- ... but I have no idea what the "LWA Link", Decay and Delay stuff does. Based on your comment in this post it seems the "LWA link" is used to select a LWA file, but I am not quite sure why someone would do this if you wanted your LED lights to dance to the music. Basically, why define a LWA file with how you want your lights to blink when you just want them to blink with the current song being played? I clearly am missing a thing or two ..... or three. I have not started a song on my computer yet while the Lumin Audio software is running .... perhaps this is my main problem. I have just been trying to wire the LED lights and test that they work using the main LEDWiz software. I have not put them on a computer which has music on it yet. Must I start music in order to see anything happen in the LuminAudio software? I am trying to figure out what needs to be done by reading stuff. Maybe that is my problem .....I should be spending more time with the software .... |

Well I guess I was trying to read too much before actually "doing" ..... so I guess I will load some music on my computer to properly test this eventually. Thanks |
