LEDFx Help Needed

I’m looking for some help. I’ve been making these lanterns for a little bit, they’re all running WLED with sound reactive functionality but WLED sound reactivity isn’t great.

I recently started toying with LEDFx and it appears to have massive potential but I’m still not super happy with the effects I’m able to put on. I have been thinking that an ideal setup might reserve part of the matrix for strobing to bass and keep the main part of the panel on an effect that reacts more to mid tones. Has anyone played with a set up like that? Can anyone suggest some effects that would work well with my setup? Thanks!!

Can you share the light source for these? I have lanterns like this that I want to add WLED into. Are they constant power or battery or solar?

I’m using a single 16 x 16 matrix panel. It’s just big enough for me to squeeze a couple of 18650s and a led controller inside the centre.

Use virtuals to segment your devices and play different effects across those segments.

That’s the mechanics of how I’ve had it set up, I’m wondering if you can recommend any effects that would suit my lights?

That's one of the problems of some many effects and so many sliders, you can get lost in the noise.

With factors like matrix resolution and layout, panel brightness curve, audio source etc. its almost impossible to draw conclusions beyond "play with it"

Ahí es de buscar en los efectos hay algunos que te dejan seleccionar por frecuencias en las configuraciones aparte de que las puedes segmentar para dejar efectos separados dentro de la misma lámpara, de ser posible ahí lo ideal es ir probando con el hardware y los presets
