6.18.6. Automatic / Sound Mode
This menu item opens the window of
the Automatic-Laser-Player (Fig. 68).
It offers two modes of operation:
1) Automatic Mode:
Automatic mode operation can output
to paths A-D, each with 3 tracks. With
rhythmically clicking on “Klick Beat”,
the speed of the very output track can
be specified. A generator then calls a
random figure from the active Figure
Table on every beat. With “Start” the
output on the very track is activated.
2) Sound Mode:
Laserworld Showeditor allows for sound
active laser control in combination with
WinAmp VB Link. If the music tracks are
played through WinAmp, Showeditor
can automatically analyse the music
signal frequency and then adapt the
speed of the laser figures to the beat.
To get this feature going, a WinAmp-plugin called “WinAmp VB Link” is required. It is
not included with Laserworld Showeditor, but must be installed separately. It can
either be downloaded form the download section on the website
(http://www.showeditor.com/en/downloads) or the version included with the
installation package of Laserworld Showeditor can be used.
Search for the file “vblink10.zip” within the program folder of this software. The file
“readme.txt” describes the installation of the plugin. On http://www.showeditor.com
there are tutorials on how to use this plugin, also on different operating systems. In
some rare cases it may be necessary to use some special tricks to get the drivers
working. This is explained in the tutorials.
