Description of Twinkly Music moods and drivers and how to use them
This article refers to Twinkly Generation I devices
The effects system used by Twinkly Music is different from the one used for standard effects that you select from the gallery, download via the Explore Center, or create with FX Wizard.
Music-synced effects are specifically designed to react to sound and can be accessed and applied through the dedicated section in the Control Panel. On Generation II devices, these are referred to as Moods.
What are Twinkly Music moods?
With moods, you can add effects to your Twinkly lights based on the kind of atmosphere you want to create and the style of the ambient sounds or music you’re enjoying.
Unlike other effects, Drivers can’t be customised, but each one is designed to automatically respond to your music in real time.
There’s a great variety available, with options tailored to suit every musical genre!
How do moods and drivers work?
Set up your Twinkly lights and the Twinkly Music dongle on the Twinkly App, making sure they’re all connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
You can then manage Twinkly Music from two different areas of the app:
To customize your experience by choosing different moods and drivers, make sure to update your Twinkly Generation II device’s firmware to version 2.8.9, your Twinkly Music’s firmware to version 2.1.0, and the Twinkly App to the latest version.
Go to the Music section on your Controls panel to select and apply drivers located under the various moods. You can also choose moods by using the button on the dongle.
Description of various moods
Each mood creates different effects on your Twinkly lights based on the genre, type, and style of music you’re listening to.
Each mood is assigned a color both on the app and on the dongle, as well as a musical style. You’ll see that the color of each mood on the app is also displayed on the dongle’s LED while the mood plays:
- Dance (purple): Gives an electronic rhythm to your lights
- Classic (blue): Creates a sophisticated setting with effects that mimic classical scores
- Ambient (light blue): Adds a dreamy atmosphere to your space
- Fluo (green): Creates iridescent and psychedelic shades and effects
- Chillout (yellow): Creates a relaxing setting with slow and evocative effects
- Pop (red): Creates fun effects that make your lights groove to the beat.
Important:
Moods are only available for Generation II devices. You can apply drivers if you have a group of devices and one of them is a Generation I device.
