Total time spent, less than 5 minutes.
I was listening to Emerson Lake Palmer's version of Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" and I decided to run it through the Audacity "onset" filter for timing marks. The Note Onset detector is part of the Analyze functions you get in Audacity after correctly installing the VAMP utilities.
The whole musicial piece is almost 10 minutes long.
The Onset analyze created 2568 timing marks. This took about 30 seconds. Be sure to Export Labels with a better (valid) name than Audacity gives it.
So I created a new xLights sequence from my MP3, chose Audacity so it would import the timings, then filled my 72x54 matrix with Random effects. Another 2 or 3 minutes.
and was blown away with the perfect (but rapid) timings.
here is part of it shot of the Preview screen in xLights using my phone camera. (I got tired of holding my phone and at the end the dogs started barking
