When I first read about the Procyon AVS, I too was under the impression that it created a sort of color organ effect in time to the connected music (rgb, not just the audiostrobe). Further, when the sales literature said it had a 16-bit DAC, I *assumed* that it connected to the USB port of the computer and acted as a virtual audio driver (sound card), allowing pure digital sound from the computer, as well as the "color organ."
It was only after receiving my Procyon that I realized that it was mainly intended as the "entrainment" device that was pointed out in an above post, but that hasn't stopped me from trying to create a color organ. Look for some of my postings on this forum and you'll see that I've created a couple of hardware interfaces that connect the Procyon to high power RGB LEDs. Though I didn't have much luck with the Recom DC-DC converters (with the Procyon unit), the linear circuit worked great, and I use the Recom DC-DC converters for RGB lights on my robot.
If all it takes is a small firmware tweak to allow RGB colors to flash to different frequencies in the music, then I'm all for it! In the meantime, if anyone wants the circuit for a very cool digital LED color organ, let me know (it's an old design but is very cool).
Best,
