It’s not always enough just to hear and feel your music—sometimes you want to see it, too. The Keebmonkey FFT Rhythm Light brings top-tier craftsmanship to an audio-activated, desktop light decoration that hits all the right beats Read More
Professional audio engineer hot take. The claim that this is an FFT visual is a bit misleading. If you think you're getting some sort of 12 band FFT/RTA type visualizer where each of the 12 vertical bars correspond to an FFT bin width of whatever it is not that at all. At most it appears to maybe lowpass and highpass filter on the input and then they drive that into each half of the display giving a 6||6 bar split with either the highs towards the middle or the edges. I can't say I'm not disappointed, if you play a sine sweep you absolutely will not get a movement across the display. It seems to have a really nicely designed AGC that then creates rhythm events against a threshold that slides based on the AGC's adaptive input range. It's a neat visual but an engineer will immediately pick it to pieces, shame for the money involved it ought to be doing an honest to goodness FFT and binning things up. The interface is also a bit tedious if you ever lose the instruction card you're going to be dead reckoning the interface which is fairly deep, lots of modes and options. Finally, "keebmonkey" honestly you felt the need to laser/brand that into the wood? Nobody knows you, it's clearly white goods. Given the other failings of the product it at a minimum could have come without the annoying branding. IMHO fun to look at but overpriced given it's basically fake, in fact it comes out of the box doing a 100% fake display completely uncoupled from any frequency content it's just random bars jumping to the rhythm.
Since my comment was edited, you can find this exact product on Amazon way cheaper. This is a cheap Chinese rebrand, it's $99 elsewhere not 150. Do not be scammed by keebmonkey, they post alot of overpriced Chinese rebrands you can find cheaper
Yup, it's getting bad again, almost back to being massdrop with tons of catagorys of unmanaged junk. I expect the selection of stuff on this website to be better vetted for enthusiasts and not some cheap rebrands from China to make a quick buck. Disappointed in you drop.
