Equalizer animation

Everything you desire is in Beyond... Draw a line, tell it how many points, tell it to respond to the beat. Simples

Better start saving up

I did this ages ago in LSX.



Derp video and not really the best music sample but gives the idea.

Yup, In Beyond you can get a real time EQ from mic input or line in, or from an audio file and you can save it as an animation, plus you can make any shape to react on sound, like a circle zooming in on the beat

Well... this sucks. I closed beyond and when i went to reopen it, it is asking for my FB3 (that i dont have with me) to be connected.

You have 14 days between connections. The latest versions actually display a message when you close Beyond down warning you how many days you have left, probably to avoid situations like this. I hope you're not away for too long.

You already have more advanced equalisers in Beyond than the ones above.

Start Beyond and start some music playing on your pc.

Go to the bottom of the screen to the QuickFX area and expand it upwards and select the audio tab.

In this tab you'll see a record button in the form of a red dot. Press this and you should see the equaliser in the QuickFX area spring into life. This equaliser is nothing to do with the equaliser you're about to create, its just an indication of the audio input (at least for these purposes ).

Go to a spare workspace cell, right click and select create new shape.

In the shape editor, under where it says Primary Shape, there are 2 rows of buttons on recent versions. The bottom row of buttons control equaliser types. Select one of these buttons and the cue will turn instantly into an equaliser of the selected type and will jump into life responding to the audio input you enabled earlier.

You can then modify this with other buttons under primary shape, by adjusting basic parameters such as size and number of points, or by selecting beam or line mode, and also by adding such Effects as you might desire such as colour effects or any other available effect.

Have a play when you can get the FB3 connected and enjoy!
