Group 25 - FRGB Instrument Lights

Welcome to the next era of live music performances

Frequency-responsive RGB (FRGB) Instrument Lights are a type of lighting system that allows users to synchronize the lights with the music or sounds in the room. This technology is based on the concept of sound-to-light conversion, where the frequency and volume of the sound are translated into different colors and intensity of light. The FRGB lights typically consist of red, green, and blue LEDs that can be mixed to create a wide range of colors. The conversion is done through an application that requires a microphone to pick up the sound and translates it into signals that control the FRGB lights. This technology can commonly be used in music festivals, concerts, clubs, and home entertainment systems. It adds a unique and dynamic visual element to the music or sound experience, enhancing the overall sensory experience for the audience.

Check the most common questions

What events can the lights be used for?

FRGB lights can be used at any event that involves an instrument! Concerts, parties, auditions, recitals, etc. can all utilize FRGB lights.

How are the colors of the lights controlled?

The lights are controlled by the frequency and volume of the music being played into the microphone. The frequency controls the color of the lights while the volume controls the brightness.

Can we use them on multiple instruments at once?

Currently, FRGB lights cannot handle polyphony. Using multiple instruments at once causes them to pick up multiple frequencies so we cannot accurately use them with multiple instruments at the same time. However, this feature will be implemented in the future.
