Show Buddy & DMXIS Forums

My DMXIS dongle is not connecting and showing "Online". I have tried 3 separate computers (2 mac, 1 pc), 4 different USB cables, 1 USB powered hub, Showbuddy, and two different versions of DMXIS (1.6.3 & 1.7). The DMXIS box is receiving power, both green lights (USB pwr ISO pwr) are li...

Are you maybe using it on a different computer than last time?

You should be able to just get a new unlock code.

I know this has been discussed in the past but i'd like to see if there are any updates? Has anyone successfully used a free(-ish) 3rd party visualizer with DMXIS running input from a separate USB or ARTNET dongle? Please let me know the name of the software if applicable.

Thank you.

Ok. Thank you.

My lighting rig Mac Mini is older and will run ShowBuddy without any hiccups. It's specs however will not facilitate SB Active.

I've been thinking about running a Mac Mini or other mini computer underneath my pedalboard to control the lighting. Is anyone running a similar setup? Any known issues?

I'd like to know what are the available options to control playback of Show Buddy. Does Show Buddy receive midi commands for controls? Can the foot controller be used to control backing tracks like in DMXIS? I guess the main concern I have is if the laptop is next to me on stage, I would like not to...

"Alternatively, you can use Show Buddy + Show Buddy Active and control your lights via an Art-Net box." If I use an ArtNet node, is there a way to trigger Next Track in Show Buddy via foot controller? My understanding is that in Show Buddy this can only be done with a 1/4" input from ...

Do I have to have DMXIS in order to run Showbuddy?

My band plays to click tracks but we don't run a DAW on stage, just the mp3 files. I'm trying to find the least expensive way to sync up lighting control to those click tracks.

TIA
