M2L Color Fade

This Music2Light Color-fade effect offers a suitable light mood in unison with the music.

The MADRIX music analysis works in this effect according to the following criteria: existing keys and tonalities.

You may select different colors for different tonalities. In this way, if the sound changes, the color will fade, too.

M2L Color Fade Example

The "Base" color defines the default background color of the effect. RGB values (from 0 to 255) can be entered directly into the input fields via mouse or keyboard. Additionally, a fader box button provides you with four sliders to adjust the color value.

M2L Color Setup

After pressing the button "M2L Colors", a separate window will be opened. This dialog offers you the possibility to match colors to specific keys. All existing keys are displayed in this window.

Major keys are listed in the left part of the window. The right hand side contains all minor keys. In the example above the "C" (written in capital letters) in the upper left part represents C-major and has a pure yellow as its color value (RGB: 255, 255, 0). C-minor, located across on the other side of the list, has a darker yellow assigned (RGB: 153, 153, 0).

You may "Load" and "Save" your color tables, too. Five color presets are already included and can be accessed by using the buttons "C1", "C2", "R", "G", and "B". The "Close" button closes the window.

Conclusion:
Regarding this effect, you decide which color is assigned to which key.
