    Hi everyone,

    I want to build a full equalizer with Soundkeys. Take a look:

    This is just a pic of an early satus. In the end I’d like to have something about 20-24 bars side by side. The problem that I have now, is that Soundkeys offers me only 3 ranges to grab the music-peak. How can I feed all my 24 bars with amplitude information?

    I tried a workaround by providing every single bar with an random(100) expression, because it’s more about the look of the equalizer than about the real connection to the music. But the bars then make very fast movements – something I don’t have with the nice “exponential” fall function with soundkeys. Is it possible to smoothen my expression?

    Any hint is soooo welcome!

    Thank you.

    Of hand it seems if you simply created 1 sound key capture for each bar withing it’s own composition, that would work very easily… in fact, you could make however many composition with 3 bars in each since soundkey’s allows up to 3 range boxs. Therfore if you wanted 24 bars… you would simply need 8 seperate compositions. Then, combine the compositions in an editing software when done creating the the 8 comps.
