| Buell666 |
that is crazy. he must have taken alot of time matching that with the song. | ||
| Newfie_buell |
He must have some kind of a controller on the lighting. That was nuts | ||
| Oldog |

I would think the best way to sync them up is to have a MIDI synth making the music and have a computer call the shots with the lights and the music. | ||

All I can say is, "I'm damn glad he doesn't live across the street from me". But cool, way cool. | ||

Well I am sad to report that three children in that neighborhood have had seizures cause of the house... | ||

I think I read in a trade journal a PLC was calling the shots. | ||
| Oldog |
A plc could easily do that the music could have been added later, used salvage plcs are dirt cheap, as a PLC programmer & application specialist that would have been fun .. Happy holidy OlDog | ||
| Tq_freak |
Yea is was deff a PLC thats the only way I could think to do all of that, it must be like 20 pages of code for all of that | ||

Tf: watch the vid again, man there a lot of not only on off but ramp on / off, any one recognize the tune? I bet that there were more than 20 "pages" even it it was stuff just being pushed through bit masks, there are lots of zones, trees & bushes, and then different colors | ||

Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe it sounded like Trans-Siberian Orchestra...they play a lot of xmas music with electric guitar mixed in and everything. That was awesome! | ||
| Court |
Does anyone have that as a .wmv file? That is priceless! | ||
| Tank_bueller |

It is indeed Trans Siberian Orchestra. The group blends orchestra with modern hard rock. They are absolutely amazing! I am sure many of you have heard their rendition of Carol Of The Bells titled Christmas Eve Sarajeva 12/24 since it is their most popular tune. On the off season most of the members play (or used to) in a group called Savatage which is/was quite popular in Europe. I gave up guitar playing because of them. I was so enthralled by their music that I ended up playing it exclusively year round! Check them out you will be hooked!! | ||

Here's the low down on this amazing display. (From some web site) The guys name is Carson Williams from Mason Ohio He used 88 light-o-rama channels to control the 16,000 lights. The tune is Wizards In winter by "Trans-Siberian Orchestra". He runs the whole thing off a 40 amp service. He has a short range FM transmitter so you can hear it in your car and he doesn't have to tick off the neighbors. Google his name and you'll find a bunch of site with info. I found one with a guy that lives near the display. Amazing stuff.. Brad | ||
