"Marine Hymn" This is our music-lights synchronization animation screen for our sequence of the short patriotic "Marine Hymn." Just like the other six tunes/songs in the Meyers 2011 July Fourth Musical Light show, it will use 8 Light-O-Rama (LOR) controllers, 128 channels/circuits, and over 10,000 LED lights (LEDs). Mainly hiding the background timing-grid "spreadsheet" is a crude, virtual diagram of our July 4th lights, decorations, set pieces, and props. This "artistic" representation includes an American Flag; eave & window frame chasing LEDs; an Aerial Disc; a Tri-star Aerial Burst; a garage-window Star Field; a "weeping willow" Aerial Burst; a Patriotic "Fan"; a Light Storm Disk; a 6-star Aerial Burst; and a doorway Swag. Although our rendition of the patriotic, LED set pieces is simplistic and not to scale, it gives US an accurate depiction of what our musical light show will really look/sound like when we set up on Flag Day -- June 14! Our "real" lighting setup will mimic exactly the animation simulation screen. It's an EASY method to design, plan, and preview the optimum light-music synchronization at minimal effort and cost. The software animation sequence contains "commands" to be sent to the LOR hardware (the 8 controllers) which will actually control the strings of LED lights -- turning on and off, fading down or up, shimmering, or twinkling. Using the LOR Sequence Editor with its many "tools," and especially its virtual light/"flight" simulator, the Meyers will be reprogramming their Patriotic, Halloween, and Christmas Musical Light Shows for 2011!!
