 Sound 2 Light is the free 'beat detector' for FreeStyler - it records the audio from your favorite selected soundcard, analyses the audio and calculates where the beats are. Those beat moments are sent to FreeStyler for nice light shows. you can make the fixtures or sequences (including the DMX400) react to the music.  Sound 2 Light is the free 'beat detector' for FreeStyler - it records the audio from your favorite selected soundcard, analyses the audio and calculates where the beats are.

 +When the "M/D" button is lighting red the rest of the buttons works for the  beat multipler feature (as shown on the picture above). this means you can cinfigure how many beats you want the S2L program to send to freestyler (if you want several steps to run after eachother on one music beat. you can chose between 2 and 4 multpliers for each music beat the S2L is detecting. the "K/G" button means that the beat multipliers will be send to freestyler continuously independent the S2L is detecting a  music beat or not.
