Show Buddy & DMXIS Forums

This looks like a really useful macro that I'd love to utilize, but I can't make it work at all. After upgrading to Show Buddy Active, I'm wanting to rearrange my fixtures to better fit on 512 channels (as I'm almost out of room!) Though it's not mentioned in this thread, I'm guessing this macro wil...

Novel idea. Could potentially speed up programing scenes.

Thank you Dave! Hoping to give this a try today.

Hi there, I'm using a KAM Power Party Bar (others are available) and whilst i don't have any issues setting up chases for the RGB colours (which are on individual faders) i'm not sure how to do this when i want for example a purple colour. In this case both the RB faders are in play, but i need to ...

Hi Rich, I have your WaterFall macro working! Thank you for the assistance. Much appreciated. Now I have another issue. Maybe this is unique to the way I use DMXIS, but after running the preset with this macro, I can't get the dimmer channel to stop moving. Keep in mind that I am an audio engineer f...

Thank you Rich!

I'm going to give that a try this weekend. I'll keep you posted.

Hi all. First off, I know nothing about Python or coding in general, so keep that in mind. I'm using DMXIS 1.6.9. I've downloaded macros from here and want to try using them, but thought I'd first try my hand at modifying the color macros that Dave included with DMXIS. Because all my PAR lights are ...

I DL'd 1.6.9 just a few days ago. Seems to be working.

Hi Rich, I know it's been almost a year since you posted this macro, but I'm hoping you can help me. I'm trying to use this macro with 4 Chauvet DJ Intimidator 260 movers. If I can get it to work I'd also use it with some 155 Duos. I'm completely new to Python and know nothing about coding, so keep ...

DMXIS is working for me at the moment. I like the improved layout of SBA, but feature-wise for my setup (no video screens) DMXIS and SBA are about equal. If SBA adds some new features that set it apart from DMXIS then I'll jump over. I was just telling my wife the same thing. DMXIS is working for m...

Thanks Rich, much appreciated. May I ask why you're waiting to upgrade to SBA? Are there some new features coming? Have to admit that I haven't been on the forum much in the last year. DMXIS has been working well for me, even though there are features that I never have gotten to work (ie, Tap Tempo)...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has ideas on which multiple universe USB interfaces, work with Show Buddy Active? I've looked for a list of interfaces that work, but couldn't find anything. Currently researching Enttec's DMX USB Pro Mk2. Would like to know if it works with SBA before purchasing. Is...

Sorry Dave, I completely missed that!! Duh ..... Thank you. After Using DMXIS for the last year or so, I've learned a lot about what I want from my lights and have a much better understanding of busking. I'm getting ready to do a full revamp of my light show and the OSC layout. Putting together some...

Thank you Dave. Take your time.

......... We'll wait.

Any chance the DMXIS GUI will be scale-able with this release?

Looking forward to trying this out. A visualizer would be awesome!

It took some experimenting for me to get my head around the idea of channel masking, but now that I understand, it works really slick. I use it quite a bit. Great feature!

Idont want them to mirror I want them to all have a different dmx address sometime I want them to mirror other time I want them to do different things I dont want them to be added to the end of the line. There will be 6 stationary fixtures in between the existing moving wash heads and the new ones ...

Andrés, Once you have your layout ready in Editor, save it. Then press the Sync button at the top of the OSC Editor. You need to have both your laptop with the editor and your ipad connected to the same network. Then go to TouchOSC on your ipad. In the top, right hand corner is a round, white button...

....... If your router is responsible for allocating IP addresses to your devices (a feature called DHCP) then those addresses can change over time. You can assign static IP addresses instead to prevent this. I didn't know that. Looks like I better do some research. Do you suggest setting the IPs a...

Hi Dave. I thought about that, after I left the shop. But if that were the case, would it still be able to send info to DMXIS on the laptop? I'm fairly new to wireless control, so I'm not real familiar with IP addresses, et al. Would that be something that could change on it's own? Doesn't seem like...

Here's a new one for me. Went to the shop to work on my latest ipad TouchOSC layout today. Fired everything up like I always do. The ipad will control the lights, but no info is being sent to the ipad. No names appearing on the pads or faders. No link light blinking. No incoming red light on. As far...

Well, I finally seem to have the tap tempo working with Dave's test layout. I still don't have it working in my own layouts, but at least I know it works here for me. The problem now: I tap at what should be around 100 bpm, but the speed knob in the Masters section of DMXIS is reading in the 2000 to...

Yes, MIDI commands seem to be working as they always have (though sometimes I have to double tap them to get them to latch(might be my ipad?)).

OSC is enabled and ports are matched.

I've been using DMXIS and OSC for about 6 months controlling our lighting rig. So, while I don't claim to know it very well, it has been working. Thus far, I've only used MIDI commands, hence my lack of knowledge of the OSC command lines. I'm missing something, I just haven't figured out what that i...

I downloaded the layout that Dave posted in the Download area, but I can't seem to get it working either. Looking at the Preferences in DMXIS to see if I need to change something there. Not sure if I need to restart DMXIS and/or OSC everytime I make a change? hmmmmm ....

Thank you Ziggy. Much Appreciated!

I'm starting to get my head around how this all works. But I must be doing something wrong, as it's not working. Any ideas?

Meanwhile, I'm going to read Dave's thread on the 1.6.3 Beta release and see if I find something there.

Thank you!

Hi Ziggy
Where do I enter these command codes? Both seem like they'd be very useful.
I'm rather MIDI illiterate ...

Can anyone give us a step by step on what MIDI settings to use in TouchOSC Editor to make Tap Tempo work? I can't seem to get it working.

I have version 1.6.3.

Much appreciated!

Well, I guess I should have done a bit more research before asking the question. In fact you can copy and past Presets by going into the file where they are stored: DRIVE/user/public/public documents/ENNTEC/DMXIS/shows/select the show you want to copy/select the bank you want to copy. Highlight any/...

Another question, if I may .... Is there a way to copy and past presets from one bank or show to another? Seems that this would make setting up a new show or even another bank, very easy. I've set up several presets that I'd like to use in other shows (with some tweeking of course). Just don't know ...
