Great Tutorial !! Perfectly explained.I appreciate your work very much!!!!
Thank you so much Scott
Cheers

Ya, thanks for that Scott. Looks to be pretty well the same procedure for NP3 Ultimate as well. I have not actually tried it with spectrastrobe yet, just with AS, many times in the past. I've been too busy listening to all these great Kasina sessions and have not gotten around to making any yet, lol!

cheers,

Thanks everyone. I will continue more along this line. TomC if you wanted to make a variation video on how to do this same thing in NP3 that would be cool. Or I will get to it eventually. I plan to expand this technique out with more videos as it is a very good starting point to create SpectraStrobe effects.

Scott

Scott, I thanked you for the video tutorial over on the TransparentCorp forum, but I want to thank you again here. I sure appreciate your quick and thorough response to my question about how to simulate lightning in MWS with SpectraStrobe. Looking forward to more tutorials as you have time to create them.

Chet

Hi Chet,
Actually thanks for the inspiring question. I had been thinking about a way to teach the basics of SpectraStrobe effects with some tangible example that would appeal to a lot of people. Your question provided the needed idea. The simulation of lightning is something that people would use I think. It is also perfect for expanded techniques.

Best,
Scott

Nice! Thanks Scott. Learning something new everyday.

Scott - I had a quick look at the SS implementation in Neuroprogrammer ultimate . It looks like control is limited to triggering all RGB at once and no individual control over colours ?

NP3 does take a more 'color centric' approach meaning that the SpectraStrobe tracks are presented as mixed colors. A color could just be one of the lights or a mixture of lights. You can have more than one SpectraStrobe track in NP3, so that is how you would get at the individual colors. The options are accessed by clicking on one of the nodes in a SpectraStrobe track.

Makes you wonder if SS, over AS is actually worth the effort. You still get the same entrainment tones, just a bit more colour diff's.

Personally, I have not found any of the new Kasina sessions to be any better (entrainment-wise) than the older Proteus or Procyon sessions. Some of the new one's are more entertaining though imho.

Cheers,
TomC

Regardless of how you intend to use it, AudioStrobe is like having a high performance sports car with one of the gears missing. You can only address 2 out of the 3 LED's at one time. With SpectraStrobe you get the full power of the engine. That is only one benefit but probably the most important.

Scott, thanks for Part 2. As with Part 1, this was quite useful.

Thanks for the tip Scott. A little tip for NP3 programmers . If you want sections of pure unchanging colour within a track you need the pure colour section to have a node specifying the same colour on either side. if you just specify a different colour at each node the colours will ramp from one to another between nodes.
