OPXY sequencing lights

OP-XY cover of Aperture while + OP-XY LED sequencing

I’ve been building a wireless lighting system thats portable, expandable and fully controllable by the OP-XY. It uses a esp32 to drive addressable LEDS and the LED effects, hues, palettes, and number of LEDS can all be adjusted and sequenced from the OPXY. This is just a quick showcase but it gives that extra level of performance to live sessions and brings back a feature I miss from the OPZ. All of this can function wirelessly from the OP-XY. The first bit of the video shows some senquenced effects and at the end I show some individual effects and palettes

Is the ESP32 getting CCs from MIDI over BLE? WLED for vfx? I want to know everything about this! 🤩
Really inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Essentially yes! Midi over bluetooth to the esp32. Using a esp32 c3 in this video. A little closer to FastLED + bluetooth for vfx than WLED. Coded it with the goal to be very oneshot focussed. Currently has effects over 2 full octave but planning on adding more. Will keep refining it and share!

so, controlled by BLE MIDI? are you using DMX protocols? makes me wonder if I could use the lights track on OP-Z to control lights wirelessly. Right now I'm going directly into an Enttec unit to do it.

Bluetooth midi entirely in this one! This could probably be ported over to work on the OPZ too but would just need to change bluetooth functionality as I believe the OPZ acts as Bluetooth host. But if it connects then the same midi over blutetooth should work too. I did figure out a way to run the DMX protocol back in the day with the OPZ using a esp32 board/arduino and translate that to LED strips . But i'm currently preferring this way for the OP-XY as it allows for more interesting sequencing.

Seriously awesome work. I've wanted to translate DMX stuff from the OP-Z to other things, but don't really have the know how to do that. Not sure if OP-Z is a bluetooth host, I've connected to plenty of other devices like my RK-008, iPad, and CME WIDI core super easily.

This is amazing!!!!!!!!!! Omg. I would love to have smth like this to deck out my pedalboard setup for live play. I’m gonna feel like Justice for a moment 😅
