Mograph/Sound Effector in Cinema 4D

With this example you will create a mograph generated object which will react to music for its motion and movement.

 Step 1.

Start by creating a new scene. Choose 'Project Settings'.

Set frame rate to 25 and Maximum to 2000 (depending on the length of the music/sound you are using this may differ).

 Step 10.

Now go back and select the sound effector. Choose the effector tab. First find and select the sound file you want to use via the Sound file option. (The sound file will have to be in either a aif or wav format).

Also further down where it says Apply Mode choose Step.

 Step 11.

Move further down the effector tab options And change the Frequency Color to some form of gradient... here I have made it blue to white.

Now select the Parameter tab and change the following - Position Y to 50, Color Mode to On and Use Alpha/Strength to a tick.

Now when you play the animation, the object should animate to the music.

This is just a simple example, try to play around with some of the other effectors and different objects.

Hope this helps!
