Creating animations with WLED is fun and easy. I made about a dozen animations using different modes and colors, and created a playlist that cycles through them automatically when I turn the tutu on.
Choose a color palette and an effect and then mess around with the speed sliders until you've got something that looks beautiful on your tutu. I used the "flow" effect a lot with different color palettes for this project.
AudioReactive Presets
To use AudioReactive mode, select one of the effects that has a music note next to the name. WLED has a handful of audio-enabled effects you can play with. Try them with different speeds and colors, and try them in different audio environments as well. Some work better at a piano recital and some work better at a noisy festival.
If it doesn't seem to be working, head over to the WLED AudioReactive Settings page to make sure you've got everything set up right.
Save your presets into a playlist. You can tweak the amount of time each animation plays for, and change the duration of the transition too. Once you're happy with it, check the "Apply at Boot" checkbox. This will make your playlist start up automatically when the tutu is powered up.
