Random LED Mode 

 

In random (rnd) LED mode, the LEDs create random light patterns with a random 
number of LEDs turned on, making IO-Lights a visual, random MIDI source, which can 
be influenced by reflecting the LED light or an external light source. A time 
randomness parameter can be configured from several seconds to just a few 
microseconds in the web app. The number of active LEDs can be set to a random 
value or to a specific number in the web app, as well. 
 
 

Feedback Loop Mode 

 

During the development of IO-Lights, we realized the power of creating a visual bridge 
between incoming and outgoing MIDI data. At some point, the IO-Lights prototype 
(accidentally) started to oscillate, as we were creating a MIDI loopback with an 
external audio software. It was wild, and interesting! However, the visual feedback 
loop was quite unstable and only worked in a few situations and environments. 
Furthermore, the additional latency of the external audio software (or rather USB-MIDI 
host) led to a low oscillation frequency. So we started to focus on this characteristic 
resulting in the feedback loop mode.
