2016.8, new effect VuMeter
« on: February 16, 2016, 10:18:12 AM »
xLights release 2016.8.
New effect from Keith Westley, VuMeter. Keith is located in Australia.. Keith has not quite finished one part of his effect, the Spectrograph still needs some tuning,. All other effects seem to be working great.
VuMeter is shown inside GREEN circle in picture.

Gil added an icon to indicate Model Groups in the SEQUENCER tab. Nice!

Many bugs fixed by Gil and Dan.

Just started playing around with vumeter--is EXACTLY what I need for the song I am working on right now.   This song (Michael W. Smith's version of Emmanuel) starts off with several sets of "triplets" that are real soft, then builds once he starts singing.   The "pulse" setting is perfect for that first portion of this song...   THANKS
