Masking is the work-a-round I needed! I set up a starter scene with the mover on and focus un-masked. I'll adjust and save that preset at the beginning of each night.. ALL the other presets will have focus masked. Whatever the starter scene says will remain, regardless of the preset used I've tested...

I had a thought on this. I wonder if using masking is the work-a-round that I need If: 1) I set up ALL my presets with the focus channels masked "off" 2) Then make a starter preset where focus is NOT masked and adjust the zoom with that preset at the beginning of the night Would that starter focus s...

Is there a way to say set channel 266, in all banks and scenes, to the dmx value of, say, 193.

Instead of doing percentage increases/decreases?

I have movers that have Electronic focus I guess that's nice, but every place my band plays has a different distance to the ceiling, so I want to change it at every venue I have over 50 songs with an average of 8 presets per songs. I can't change 400 presets at the beginning of each gig How can I ch...

Can you PLEASE make DMXIS able to maximize to take up the whole screen? Please?

On my 11" netbook, it only takes up 1/2 the screen
At a gig, in the heat of battle ..... it's REALLY hard to see!

PLEASE!!!

I appreciate the responses! I'll spend some time with this. And try to delete and restore. Probably be back w/ questions, lol! Take a look at the C:\Users\Public\Documents\ENTTEC\DMXIS\Presets\DmxConfig.xml file with a text editor Worth clarifying that each DMXIS show has its own copy of DmxConfig.x...

fwiw, OnSong does has a lighting program You can use it and not use DMXIS I suppose I haven't messed with it because I'm already there w/DMXIS https://youtu.be/aS2rbXN4ML4 Ok.. your still not understanding what I've already told you. OnSong is NOT a lighting console, it will not generate DMX in any ...

I MIDI learned all 512 channels of DMX to an external fader bank. All 512 channels seperately mapped to faders on different layers. Makes programming much faster than doing it with a mouse But it took a long while to set up. Is there a way I can save the MIDI assignments I learned so if I lose them,...

Right now, the one thing that would make DMXIS better for me is Make the DMXIS window be able to Maximize, and take up the entire screen of my laptop I am old and have crappy vision. Videos of our band all feature me squinting at the screen instead of smiling at the audience. I should be able to gla...

I have loaded DMXIX on my 32 bit Win 7 laptop
I then copied the backup from my 64 bit Win 10 laptop
Worked like a charm!!!

AWESOME!

Life is good!

Thank you!

fwiw, I'm using it 1.6.8 (on Windows 10 - 64 bit) and it works great.


The ability to De-Select is a HUGE help for a fumble fingered mouse user like me.
Thank you!

I have 2 laptops, One is Windows 10 64 bit (and that's where DMXIS resides currently) The other is on Windows 7 32 bit If I install 32 bit DMXIS on the Win 7 laptop, can I take the data from the Win 10 64 bit computer and restore it onto the Win7 32 bit laptop? I assume the answer is no, but you nev...

I can't find the numbers to write on my dongle. I entered them when I bought it (new) and it has worked and I haven't needed them. Did not know I should save the code Is there a way to get the code again? Send you a copy of my receipt or something? I want to make sure I have the code for my old box ...

Loaded the update , and................

IT WORKS!!!! AWESOME!!

• DMXIS 1.6.8 for macOS
• DMXIS 1.6.8 for Windows (with 32 bit plug-in)
• DMXIS 1.6.8 for Windows (with 64 bit plug-in)

When you switch DMXIS boxes, the software asks you to enter the unlock code for that box. If you write your unlock codes onto the boxes, you're always good to go. So my shows/presets, etc, won't be affected? Just type in the unlock code? (I wonder if I have the unlock code for my first box. Only ty...

I did not know an update was available! Thank You! AWESOME (fwiw, The thread at the top of this forum says 1.6.3 is the newest and when I click check for updates in DMXIS, it said I had the newest version, so I am surprised - HAPPILY SURPRISED though!! ) DMXIS 1.6.8 for macOS DMXIS 1.6.8 for Windows...

Is there a new update on the way? I noticed your reply was in April.

I'm running DMXIS Standalone 1.6.3

Is de-select in that version?

(Thank you for listening and considering the suggestion!)

I program lights at home. I run sound ... A LOT I want to buy a 2nd DMXIS dongle and leave that in my live rig box so I will never forget it at home. Question is: When I plug my laptop in to a different dongle, am I going to have to tell DMXIS to recognize the 2nd dongle (and then at home, recognize...

I use a couple Chauvet 4 Bars for Front lighting. The back lighting is always fine at full tilt, but at a lot of clubs I need to turn down the front lights. I have literally hundreds of presets I'd love it if there was a way to turn down the masters on in EVERY single preset -ALL AT ONCE- (a Macro o...

I run DMXIS on a 11" netbook.

Can I ask what the make & model is?

ASUS TP203N
It's 11.6" diagonal

The DMXIS window is 5-1/2" wide x 4-3/4" tall

Is there a "reverse" option somewhere on chases that reverses the direction that the lights chase in? I have 16 lights in a row. If I set up a chase on the 8 lights on the right, and that chase goes right to left (start at the outside and chasing into the middle) , how do I make a chase that does th...

I run DMXIS on a 11" netbook. The DMXIS window is TINY.

This is the ONLY program of any type that I have that won't maximize.

I love DMXIS, but there are some little things like this that fixing them would make it even MORE lovable!

I can't believe there's no way to De-Select. When setting up a big chase, I hold control and one at a time click on the channels I want. It's extremely common to hit an extra channel. In any other program, while holding control, you would just click the enabled channel a 2nd time and that would de-s...

My issue is if one of the colors (say orange which is a combination of Red and Green)

When I chase orange using anything but intelligent fade, the red and green don't move together and instead of orange fading in and out, I get Green and Red popping up, unwanted.

If I set up a chase with 8 cans that are purple (mix of red and blue) , if I use Intelligent chase, the cans stay purple and chase, but my only option seems to be a linear chase (from left to right). I can't make them do sine wave or triangle chase types, because when I do, the red and blue do not m...

Lets say I want to set up a huge chase, so I select 72 channels in a row by pressing on the first channel, holding shift and selecting the last channel. Now all 72 channels are highlighted. The Question, How do I unselect 4 of those channels? In normal programs, you would just hold the control key a...

Yes and no. You dont get an editing option with the stage setter like you do with a lot of modern midi devices. So you cant map the functions of your stage setter to specific function of DMXIS. It is a stand alone dmx device so the midi in it is at fixed channel values.. That's why I keep pushing y...

Yeah stagesetters have a crazy midi assignment that's difficult to work with occasionally because there is no editor for the midi assignments. In other words , they're fixed to certain functions and that's what you get. But with learn in DMXIS, I hit learn and move the fader and there it is. Right?...

Yup I use a Roland breakout box all the time, that way I can add my FCB1010 to the controllers I am able to use. I the connect all my midi devices through that. A powered usb hub helps also. Cool. I will pick up the stagesetter I've been looking at. I think having a mess of faders will speed up the...
