Color Music – Light Assistant for Music Compositions

Color-music (light-musical) systems are designed to simultaneously play a musical composition and light effects. The light effect on the listener may not be synchronous with the music. With these devices at melomanomaniac significantly increases the perception of the currently sounding song.

Color music: from its origins to the present

The great Russian composer A. Scriabin was the ancestor of modern color-music devices. For the “Poem of Fire” he created an apparatus with a keyboard that reproduced color effects. The Christmas tree garland also has common roots with the modern CMU. And in Soviet times, color-music attachments to turntables were popular. Nowadays CMU has many forms – the consumer can choose the most suitable for him variant.

Popular types of color music: the rules of choice

Before you buy a color-music, the first thing you need to decide for what purposes it will be used, for what area is designed:

• For the organization of home parties and discos (home installation).
• For color accompaniment in small rooms: cafes, bars or home use (laser compact unit, LED projector, etc.).
• For the organization of light performances at discos, clubs (disco ball with the ability to connect multiple devices in one chain, LED projector, animation projector, etc.).

The next selection criterion should be the functionality to reproduce the color effects:

• Availability of 1 to 7 colors.
• Operation modes: in tune, auto, without music.
• Ability to play built-in pictures (texts, diagrams, holograms).
• Ability to adjust the frequency of playback of color beams.

Determine a place for the device, according to this choose on the mounting device:

• Tripod (handle) for floor installation.
• Ceiling mount.
• Bracket for attaching to the wall, ceiling.

And perhaps the last major criterion for choosing is the presence of built-in memory (volume) and the programs loaded in it.

If you want to turn a house party into a real show of fire, or own a small cafe, where you need to organize a light support for musical compositions, the variety of models of color lights will make it easy to carry out any conceived projects.
