Yes, but you'd need a special splitter (TRRS - Male -> 2 x TRRS - Female) for the GanzFrame Glasses, and a regular headphone splitter for the headphones. In addition, you'd need a 2nd set of Glasses and a 2nd set of earbuds/headphones. Either that or get a LiBa. Contact us for any further assistance regarding usage.
Yes, in a addition to many sessions included with in your Kasina/Limina that cover many frequency ranges, the both systems feature a manual mode where you can set frequencies directly, or you can edit your own sessions using the free editor. It also accepts older AudioStrobe titles available on the internet.

Your eyes are unused to the flashing lights at first. Just like watching a brightly colored movie at home or in a cinema while all the ambient light in the room is turned off, the flashing lights of a Mind Machine might bother you at first - especially if you don't adjust it beforehand.

We recommend you start your experience with the light settings turned down as low as you can stand it and still see them paired with one of the more mellow sessions meant for relaxation and then work yourself up to a higher level of brightness as you continue to experiment with the light machine. Your eyes will adjust in time.

 

If you are epileptic or suffer from anything related to light sensitivity, this device is not for you.

When customizing, adding or moving files it is always a good idea to back up the original set. Do this by copying the folder on your own local computer drives and/or a USB. If you've lost/damaged your microSD factory card we can help you recover your files - Contact us

We recommend removing the memory card with care. Any damage done to the hardware after delivery is your responsibility, so take care of your device as you would do for any other purchase with fragile parts.

You may have accidentally toggled the decoder mode into the ColorOrgan mode by pressing the top control button during a session. You may however want to toggle different ColorSets when playing non-SpectraStrobe sessions by pressing the bottom control button.
They are audio encoding/decoding technologies for Mind Machines. Both employ low level, high frequency audio to directly control the lights. AudioStrobeĀ® includes one signal per audio channel, while SpectraStrobeā„¢ employs 4, in order to control RGB. Sessions from SpectraStrobeā„¢ take advantage of the latest encoding type for sessions contained in files. Even if SpectraStrobeā„¢ does not allow changing the color preset, this extension is considered more technologically advanced. It doesn't mean the AudioStrobeĀ® or KSB sessions are weaker though, they just play differently.
Mind Machines work best when the person using them is willing to work with the device, instead of expecting it to do all the job for them. But just as every person is different so will each session be unique to you.
Every experience is subjective, it depends on your mood and state of mind before you begin, on whether or not you have the necessary quiet to really enjoy a session. We have a short guide here detailing the steps weā€™ve found most effective to take before embarking on a light journey.
Generally speaking, weā€™d recommend coming back to a session a few more times until your mind gets used to the pattern of the pulsing lights. By doing that you'll become more accustomed to following and understanding the pattern subconsciously. With a tiny amount of discipline it will start having the desired effect. And you will most likely start to discover yourself better.
Have patience with it and yourself and set aside a little bit of uninterrupted time.
Mind Machines are perfect for regulating sleep cycles. Remember to not use the machines too often on the same day as it can strain your eyes and of course, donā€™t use them if you are light sensitive or have any afflictions related to pulsing lights, like epilepsy. Try using them every evening if you want to relax before bed. After youā€™re done with everything and are getting ready for sleep.
From all the tests we performed on the Kasina the battery seems to last for about 30 medium length sessions. Kasina is known for it's long battery life - but it really depends on what you play, the length of the session and the intensity of the light.
The Kasinaā€™s battery makes this portable Mind System the perfect travel companion - as you can take it with you on a trip without having to worry about charging it.
As for the Limina mind machine, the battery life depends on the AA batteries you have for it, with similar power spending. If you're out of juice, simply switch the batteries with new ones or recharge any AA rechargeable batteries and you're ready to go.
The Kasina and Limina have regular jacks for headsets so pretty much anything will work. The packs come with their own set of earbuds but itā€™s not mandatory that you only use them.
