hi, i just joined the group seeking info on audio-visual experimental mind tools... I've been trying holosync and a few hemisync and bwgen presets for about a year so i'm a bit practiced in the audio aspect of the game but just recently came across the visual side of things. As a painter and graphics artist i find the concept of it absolutely fascinating but I seem unable to find user friendly lit regarding the subject which isn't heavily scientific or marketing. I would much appreciate some sound counsel from someone who knows more than me, i mean...what console do i buy? what does it actually do? how does it compare with other brainwave entraining systems? How spectacular is the visual result if it is at all? Audio stimulation alone at times produces really absorbing imagery of different kinds, is the audiostrobe tech that different and is it worth its due? (i work in graphics so i felt i had to ask this...).

The default settings will be fine. I worked with Tomas on getting the signals
right.

Does anyone have exprience in using MindExplorer SW to make
AudioStrobed CD for Proteus?
I know that the Proteus is quite sensitive to the AS signal.
Is it necessary to make adjustments in the setting of MindExplorer
SW ? Or using the default setting will be fine ?
It will be great if you can list the steps in how to make it.
Is there anything we need to be noted when doing this ?

Hi, Yahoo group Mind-L is a good group to join. It has around 1000 members at this time. Its a good group to join if you are into mind exploration, if you have not joined already.
Joseph,

>anywhere, but i am new to the software.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
The red and green leds represent the left and right leds on a "normal" L/S
machine. So any mode that controls left and right independently will allow
you to control the lights independently as well.
Ken
i have a proteus as well, and i have a question. if it is addressed
in another thread somewhere please forgive me, but, when creating
audiostrobe sessions with mindexplorer, can you take advantage of the
green and red leds in this program? i just can't seem to find it
anywhere, but i am new to the software. this would make my day if you
could. and i am not talking about the red and green flashing
simultaniously, but being able to independantly control the 2
different colors. thanks...

NOVA PRO LIGHT & SOUND MACHINE FOR SALE
I have a high end mind machine--the Nova Pro--in mint condition, for
sale.
But what is a mind machine?
An AVS (Audio Visual Stimulation) system, Light and Sound Relaxation
system or a "Mind Machine" is a microprocessor controlled device
designed to create relaxation or other mood changing effects through
the use of sound and light stimulation. The user selects a session,
puts on headphones and stimulation glasses, and sits back and enjoys
the experience, which can be for relaxation, stimulation, meditation
or just plain fun depending on the session.
Photosonix Nova Pro
What is the best thing about the Nova Pro? It's a solid, excellent
quality Light and Sound unit with the finest sound, best flashing
light, and the most features in its class. It offers a diverse
selection of well-designed programs and a lot of cool extra features.
It's a well-designed, fully-debugged machine made by a company that
is committed to supporting it. It's the only machine in its class to
offer dual binaural beats. It can be connected to your computer via
its RS-232/serial port interface. Finally, your Windows computer can
be used for real-time control and to conveniently program and edit
sessions that can be shared (by recording on floppy disks or
audiotapes).
All of the above may have something to do with why the Nova Pro
currently seems to be the preferred system among Light and Sound
aficionados on the relevant Internet chat groups.
This Easy-to-Use Machine Combines the Most Features: Photosonix Nova
Pro.
Features:
75-program capacity, including 50 excellent preset programs (some
with imaginative interactive sessions) and space for 25 personalized
custom or downloaded programs. Four sources of programs:
Preset Programs: Relaxation and Meditation (5 programs), Learning
(4), Sleep (3), Energizing (5), and more, including 3 dual binaural
beat programs.
Custom Programming: Create your own programs. Select frequency and
sound: choose chords, binaural beats synchronized with the visual
flashes, or the unique and powerful dual binaural beat generator.
Program pulse width, pitch, phase, and other factors in increments as
short as one second. You can change a program by editing instead of
starting over. Flexible memory management enables you to create extra-
long programs (up to 2,000 bytes), or create up to 25 shorter
programs.
Fill-in-the-Blanks Programming: Allows you to specify a program by
selecting parameters. The Nova Pro will create a program based on
your specs - a time-saving breakthrough! Edit the program to get it
exactly right, then save it for later use. This allows you to emulate
'Len Ochs' type effects. RS 232 ready. Accommodates PC L/S
interphase.
PolySync(TM) Tapes and Downloadable Programs: The Nova Pro will read
and play any of these tapes. Plus you can use it to create PolySync
downloadable program tapes - great for saving, sharing or publishing
your programs.
Superb Sound:
High-resolution digital sound with three octaves of pitch control,
true sine-wave sound, and the choice of pulsed single tones or chords
with adjustable intervals, binaural beats (with or without pacing
ticks, and with or without surf), pulsed pink noise, alternating tone
and surf, and dual binaural beats.
Analog Lights:
The Nova Pro has steady analog light intensity control; some
competing systems have digital control with unwanted high frequency
switching.
Summing Up: The Photosonix Nova Pro gives you excellent program
selection, interactive programs (with breathing and visualization),
manual control, programmability, and DLS tape input. A fantastic
array of features at a very reasonable price. An experimenter's dream!
In addition to the basic unit, it also includes rechargeable
batteries, a power adapter, the led liteframe glasses, quality
earphones, a light and sound designer software program that will
enable you to easily edit existing sessions and/or custom design your
own sessions, color gel filter overlays that will allow you to
experience 12 different colors and/or myriad combinations, an RS-232
adapter that will permit you to download many more free sessions from
the internet, a stereo audio dubbing/patch cable for connecting
auxiliary devices to your mind machine, a complete and easy to follow
user's manual, a 12-foot stereo extension cable, and a rugged high
impact plastic storage case to safeguard your valuable L/S machine--
all this--a $350 value--for the ridiculously low offer of just $160
postpaid--and delivered right to your doorstep.
Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check, money order, or
PayPal (pay free online with a credit card--fast, safe, and
secure)....Please email me at: pem@... to place your order or with
any questions you may have....Thank you.

Greetings Everyone, Well after after 10 years of experimenting on the
"uninitiated", I am finally going to release myself from the mind
machine world. If anyone is interested in some used equipment and
supplies please go to:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1668054730&r=0&
t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=1007161478&indexURL=0&rd=1
It has been a great journey. Peace, Aslan
Has anyone had any experience with "Awakening Mind 1" from
Enlightened Enterprises
(http://home.att.net/~jamesbmann/Enlightened_Enterprises/home.htm)
He sells a book for $45 that sounds very detailed on how to achieve
transformational experiences with light and sound machines.
Because its kinda pricy, I was wondering if anyone had ever read it
and used it, and what their experiences were like.
Regards,
Cris
12 Gel Filter Overlays for White LED Lightframes!
Why pay over $30 for a specific color LED lightframe and for a
variety of colors and having to spend upwards of $200$-300?
Even the Lightframe Color Adventure Set comes with only 6
different lightframes and a carrying case that retails for $329.
Now you can purchase a pair of white LED lightframes or the
pvStim white LED style and by applying these gel filters to
your lightframes with velcro (included) or attaching without,
experiencing 12 different colors is now possible! The velcro
connection is designed for easy application, making selecting
from the 12 colors and then affixing to your white LED light-
frames only a matter of seconds.
The gel filters come in: Fire, Medium Pink, Dark Magenta,
Yellow, Summer Blue, Flame Red, Flourescent Green, Neutral
Density Black, Ultimate Violet, Ocean Blue, Velvet Green, and
Millenium Gold. You would be hard-pressed to find most of
these colors in LED lightframes...in fact, it would be impossible!
The colors are very intense--more so, I believe, than even
Proteus. Moreover, unlike Comptronic filters, you can see through
these gel filters, and use them with your eyes open. The colors go
right into your eyes and lead to very fast altered states of
consciousness. You can use these unique filters in combination
with both chakra and crystal work, as well as with any music or
binaural beat sessions.
So add cost-effective variety to your l/s experience by utilizing
these magnificent lightframe gel filters. They are made to last for
years and come with complete instructions for use.
For more details, please call , write, FAX, or email.
12 Gel Filter Overlays tgfo. Regular Price: $72. Sale Price: $49.

That is a major reason for my buying it. Lights add another strong entrainment
element. It is definitely less fun without the light show! I have the Proteus
and highly recommend it.
I haven't had enough time but I intend on making some music cds with the AS in
them. I think it will be wonderful since I enjoyed the sampler cd that came with
the Proteus.

Hello
Did anyone try MindExplorer with audiostrobe? If so can you please
give me some feedback. I want to know if it is worth buying
audiostrobe.
Thanks

Hi Nigel,
no, they are only examples of various possible settings. I realized
that different users prefer different settings, so the presets should
help to start experimenting with the program.
Tomas
Hi all,
there is a question (of MindExplorer SW user) and (my) answer that
may be intersting for many users (I think):
> Also, am I understanding correctly that, using your program, I can
take my favorite
> relaxing music, and add a light program which I can see on an
Audiostrobe-compatible
> light and sound machine?
Yes, you are understanding very well! There are two possible
approaches:
1. You can use the new part of the program - the AS ColorOrgan.
Simply open a wav file and press the Start button. The program
automatically detects signal peaks and adds the AudioStrobe codes.
You can customize the settings to make the lights flash as you wish.
Left and right (or red and green, if you use Proteus mind-machine
with it's Bi-Color light goggles) lights can flash independently.
2. Use the main program. Create a new session. Add some more segments
and adjust all stimulation parameters - simply create a new session
as usually.
2.1. Set the "Tone" parameter of all segments to PWav, dPWav, AMWav or
dAMWav. (If you don't know what these acronyms mean then refer to the
Help/Stimulation Parameters/Tone.) I suggest to use AMWav (it means
Amplitudely Modulated Wav). Freq1 controls the frequency of light
flashes and frequency of sound modulation. Now assign a particular
wav file to "Tone Wav File" at the main window. You can also adjust
the depth of amplitude modulation ("AM Depth" slider at the main
window). When you play this session, you can hear a sound coming from
the "Tone" wav file which is amplitudely modulated at the Freq1
frequency.
2.2. Set the "Backing Sound" parameter of all segments to Wav or
HB+Wav (Heart Beat+Wav). Now assign a particular wav file to "Backing
Sound Wav File" at the main window. When you play this session, you
can hear a sound coming from "Backing Sound" wav file mixed with
pulsed or amplitudely modulated "Tone" sound (synthetic waveforms or
wav file) or binaural beats.
You can adjust the Tone/Backing Sound and Heart Beat/Wav volume
ratios using the appropriate sliders at the main window.
The 2.1. and 2.2. paragraphs can be combined together, so it is
possible to use two different wav files at the same time in one
session.
You can also combine the "classic" pulse/binaural beats session with
a music coming from Backing Sound Wav File.
Or you can set the Volume parameter of all segments to 0, use your
favourite music as Backing Sound Wav File and you will get your music
unchanged but with AudioStrobe codes added.
Tip for session editing: If you want to change values of multiple
spreadsheet cells (in the same row), you can highlight them using
mouse (or keyboard - shift+arrow key). Then you can right-click on
some of them - use appearing slider to change the value of all
selected (highlighted) cells at once. Or you can select multiple
cells and press and hold the Value Up or Down buttons to scroll
through preset values.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Tomas Cerny
