Making lights flash in sync with sound
« on: January 28, 2008, 12:13:30 pm »
So I'm wondering how hard it is to get a light in my cab to flash with sound from the arcade games.
Has anyone done this?

thanks

Depending on your setup, you can use this application from RandyT:

or you can use a £4 sound reactive unit designed for cold cathodes. It reacts on the ground so easy to use with any light source. Its the basis of all my cabs lighting except the CP.

I used a $6 neon light stick that reacts to sound (adjustable too!)
NO MORE!!
