I've figured it out now thanks. I'm using the colour gradient setting in the sound effector, through a instance colour to drive the diffuse

Thanks, but how would I do that? I've got it at the moment where all the objects change colour according to the music.

I used a instance range and gradient.

I have a simple scene where I have pentagonal prisms cloned into a sphere. They are reactive with music using the sound effector. What I would like to know is, how can I make it so the colour of the pentagonal prisms is based on their height from a gradient?
