Just started testing on my Halloween Singers. I'm planning on three 6 foot x 6 foot singers for 2013.

Here's the main singer test on one of the sequences I'm working on.

The connection is all DMX, set up like:

PC-> Router -> Etherdongle -> Two Lynx Express -> LED rope light.

Here's a quick test:

With a hii hii hoo and a hii hii hey!

I say that was funny good. What are you using to get the lips to sync with the music?

I would like to try HLS but until it supports the conductor or xLights supports HLS its a no go for me :(
I would love to be wrong and xLights does support HLS. But last time I looked it didn't.  I did email the creator of HLS and he didn't know what the conductor was.

I haven't tried HLS, no. It might help me, but I've always sequenced my singers in LSP manually.

And once LSP added the ability to playback at slower rates of speed it made it easier.

I generally use papgayo to get the marks and then put them in LSP, but I am a GRID worker for that portion in LSP.....HLS really just addes papgayo like functionality directly into the sequencer (as I recall....been a while since I messed with it).

I think Joe is hoping someone else will take up any conversion efforts of his XML format to anyone elses.

Bloody good show Ahi!

Just curious, would a karokee version with the words shown with the audio sequence perhaps make it easier to sync some of this stuff for a program?

One might have to change the timing just a bit, but it brings up an interesting angle.  Certain starting letters would be an open mouth, other smaller etc.

Not sure it would speed the process up. I just knuckle down and program in on the LSP grid, maybe I'm just old school  <fp.
