Page 5: Touch Buttons
LEDs The twelve, white LEDs on the UI of IO-Lights are intended to be used as a light source to influence the light sensor. The LEDs can be either controlled externally by incoming MIDI messages (m-l) or via a built-in LED mode (random or feedback loop). If ... - Page 6 In random (rnd) LED mode, the LEDs create random light patterns with a random number of LEDs turned on, making IO-Lights a visual, random MIDI source, which can be influenced by reflecting the LED light or an external light source. A time ...

Page 7: Clock Synchronization
Clock Synchronization IO-Lights can be synchronized to an external clock via MIDI to always play in time with your other instruments. Based on the external clock (and clock divider), IO-Lights sends the current measured brightness value in regular intervals as MIDI Note or ... - Page 8 Furthermore, new firmware images are automatically discovered from our server and can be flashed directly to IO-Lights in the web app via W ebUSB . At the moment of this writing, only Chrome/Chromium, Edge and Opera support both USB protocols. ...
- Page 9 Random Mode Level of If IO-Lights is not synchronized to an external clock, this Randomness parameter controls the time variation between two random LED states. The level of randomness parameter affects the average time and its variance. The higher the randomness, the lower the ...
- Page 10 Extras Clock Sync If enabled, IO-Lights will synchronize to an external MIDI clock and send the current brightness value in regular intervals. The synchronization becomes active (including start/stop) as soon as an external clock tick has been received. ...
