American DJ Aggressor Tri LED , Video 1

0:00 Actual design, if you are

Alright folks, first video on this guy here. It's from a company called American DJ. It's known as the Aggressor Tri-LED. Now this particular unit has got two LEDs inside it, but they're three in one. So in other words, they're multi-coloured. Now at the moment, believe it or not, it's on, but it's off. Hope you can work that out. Now if you look at the actual design, if you are a new DJ... The overall design is not new and all of a sudden someone's brought out a fantastic unit that no one's ever seen before. This sort of design has been around for quite a while. In other words, we have loads of lenses displayed I suppose in about a 45 degree angle. But what is new and exciting of course is the fact it's full of LEDs. Now the difference being

1:16 The reason being is because it needs sound

It's because, let's say we had this kind of similar sort of design, I must stress not this exact design, a similar design say 10 years ago, you'd have a normal halogen bulb in there and you'd probably be changing it every like 2 or 3 gigs. The difference is of course with LEDs is they last a long time and you don't have to change them. Now believe it or not, it's on. But it's off. The reason being is because it needs sound. So I'm going to simulate some sound. There you go. See, it's on. Now watch this. I'm going to be quiet for like a few seconds. Very difficult. See, it's off. Now I like that because basically it means it will not stay on all the time. I mean the irony is, I suppose in a sense, the likes of LEDs will last indefinitely but of course if it goes off...

2:13 You can leave these lights on, but they're off

While it's on, they're going to last even longer. The reason being for this, I suppose, what the makers have done. They thought, well yeah, there's going to come points in the evening where the DJ is going to have the music really low and he doesn't want an aggressive style of lighting. So of course that means that maybe this guy will turn off at low volume and then turn back on at high volume. Alternatively... Which is what you can do, which is fantastic. You set your gear up, you test the sound, you test the lights, you turn the sound down. You can leave these lights on, but they're off. And then as soon as you bring the sound back up, guess what? You haven't got to start switching things on at the mains or plugs because these are on. So volume up, bang, the lights come on. So here we go. There you go. I'm going blurred now, aren't I? Let me turn it like that. There you go. A bit better. Alright.

It's not DMX, it's basic sound to light but then again a lot of DJs out there, I mean okay I'm going to slowly get into DMX, but a lot of DJs out there just like to put a light in or plug a light in, turn it on and let it do its thing. That's what this will do. So video number one on this guy here, the Aggressor. Practice and enjoy.
