Using sound active mode with steps

[kwdamp]

Is it possible to use sound active mode, in steps? Assuming of course the specific light has this feature?

For example, for my ADJ mega par profile lights i see Sound active mode 1 and Sound active mode 2 in the programs list. But, it doesnt seem to do anything when I have those selected, even if music is playing.

Does the audio need to be received somewhere else?

Also, how would I know what result to expect? Some programs change colors, others strobe, and yet others do both.

"Audio" level is supposed to put the fixture in a standalone mode, running with sound coming from the microphone of the fixture.
In this mode, the software does not control the pan/tilt/color/... of the fixture.

So it will work with the controller, but it will basically be exactly the same as if I had simply set the pre-programmed sound function on the light?

That's good to know, thanks!
