What is the Twinkly Music Player?
The Twinkly Music Player is an innovative device specifically crafted to enhance your experience of creating stunning and visually captivating light displays. Drawing inspiration from the dynamic world of music videos, this player is particularly suited for large-scale installations. The Music Player can be easily connected to a speaker, allowing it to reproduce sound that synchronises beautifully with your light effects. This unique feature enables you to transform your lighting setup into a more immersive experience.
With the help of the Music Player and the accompanying WebApp, users can effortlessly upload animations and videos, including those downloaded from YouTube, and display them on your Twinkly PRO devices. This capability opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing for a visually dynamic presentation that can be tailored to suit any occasion or theme.
How to Set Up the Twinkly Music Player
To make sure the Twinkly PRO Music Player connects smoothly, just follow these easy steps:
- Connect the network cable to the switch.
- Wait for the device to boot up and watch the LED sequence.
- Open the app and try to add the device until the onboarding process is finished.
Just a quick reminder for the onboarding process (see point 3): it's essential to ensure that the network has Wi-Fi access. This will allow the phone to connect and enable the app to locate and add the Music Player.
Once you've connected the network cable to the switch, you should see the device blinking blue twice, followed by a green blink twice. These light signals mean that the device has successfully connected to your router, and you can go ahead and add the device using the Twinkly app. Just select the "Add Device" option and find it on your network.
To ensure the Music Player works well, it's important to connect speakers to the setup. This will enhance the sound quality and complement the visual effects nicely.
It's worth mentioning that, unlike the standard Twinkly Music, the Twinkly PRO Music Player doesn't make the lights move in time with the sound. Instead, this device plays the audio from the videos or movies uploaded via the web app, synchronising with the visuals of the video. To put it simply, it's similar to watching a movie on TV where you have both images and sound. With the Music Player Pro, you get to see the visuals from the uploaded video on the LEDs while the audio plays through the Music Player.
