Description

Light Arc is a live beam of light bent into a glowing arc. A band of colour swells bright, pushing into the darkness until it curves into a horizon, while the light drifts slowly along the curve and splits into fine colour at its edges.

Usage Note

Built with native auto-motion and fully adjustable parameter controls, including optional audio analysis demonstration components. The system operates standalone with no external audio wiring required. To drive it with your own audio, route your audio signals to the corresponding parameters. All default and tested parameter ranges are documented in the DAT table.
