Re: Play-Thru Glitch

I've experienced glitches using Showbuddy. Mainly sound stuttering, but only occasionally. My computer had a 1TB hard drive. I saw a read/write activity at the same time by chance. So after some info from the forum, I changed to 250 GB SSD. I'm now running SBA on Win 10 and it hasn't glitched since....

Re: Wash Lights in Visualizer

Under Beam Properties, try my values
Set beam width to 360, this is the key value
Distance to 0.1, or a low value
Direction 180
You may have a Hue option depending on your fixture

Works for me :)

Re: Fixture Profiles and Visualiser Icons Explained

Interesting that the demo visualiser triggers my strobes when I select an effect though
A rectangle or star shape etc, so there may be some promise :-)

I added my QFX fixture online but it isn't public
There is another there though
And I'm guessing the fixture will need tweeking
I just get one head appearing at the moment

Thanks

Re: Fixture Profiles and Visualiser Icons Explained

These simple rules will cover most popular fixtures. However, the more fiddly fixtures present a problem - not just for SBA, but for every DMX visualiser out there. I'm thinking of those 'adventurous' fixtures that try to combine a laser, two moonflowers, a toaster oven and an electric toothbrush o...

Re: Our next gen lighting controller. Coming soon!

Dave,

I'm using a Showtec QFX gig bar
I use it with DMXIS and Show Buddy as a single DMX address with 27 channels
Can the 2D visualizer be used to represent it graphically?
If not, can you reproduce it?

Thanks

Dave

Re: Our next gen lighting controller. Coming soon!

Dave,

Rather than a projector (and possibly, a screen) that you mentioned in the description,
can the HDMI port from a laptop running DMXIS and Showbuddy be connected to a large flat screen TV HDMI port for the graphics?

Dave :)

Midi CC question

When setting a midi chunk to control a continuous controller message, does the midi chunk just throw the set number when activated or can it be programmed to fade up and down?
I'll be using this for both Boss GP-10 and a vocal processor mid song

Re: Copy Paste options

Yes cues highlight and move with left click and hold, fade in and out etc
Ctrl works ok in memo, copy paste using 'Ctrl c' and 'Ctrl v', so it's not disabled

Where is the onscreen keyboard?
