DMXIS & Show Buddy Forums

Perhaps you are looking in the local "Library" folder? You need to navigate to the system "Library" folder, as follows:

• Click on the Finder icon in the macOS Dock
• Press Cmd-Shift-G (Go to the folder appears)
• Type "/Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS" and click Go

Pretty easy to do. On the hardware side, just ensure the DMX addresses of the house lights doesn't overlap with the drummer's lights (e.g. if house lights = channels 1-300, set the drummer's LED lights to start at channel 350) Then run the DMXIS output into a DMX splitter, and take one output to the...

The DMXIS installer puts the VST and Audio Unit plug-ins in the standard Mac system folders: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ENTTEC /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components In the "Plug-Ins" tab of Ableton Preferences, make sure that "Use VST2 Plug-In System Folders" and "Use Audio Units" are both enabled. Th...

As the author of the product, I assure you DMXIS is very much designed for use by live bands not using click tracks, and is most definitely not limited to "cheesy flashing" :D Let's look at lighting a simple song: Intro (amber spot on the singer) Main (whole band lit) Solo (adds some slowly changing...

I bought this as it was advertised as ideal for live bands - I’m quickly finding out that it is not the case... a 14 second fade to black is pathetic 😕. Thousands of bands and performers use DMXIS every week without issues like this. Clearly something is amiss. I wonder if you are trying to use DMX...

It is most likely you are doing something wrong, but it's difficult to diagnose from the info you've given. Can you upload a short video to show the problem? It might be that you have accidentally adjusted the "Fade To Next" control to a non-zero value for one or more of your presets. If "Fade To Ne...

1.7.1 beta is now available. Contact me for download links, or just change "170" to "171" in the links for the 1.7.1 release :-) Changes from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1: Tweaked size & layout of toolbar on show window. Fix click tracks in Set Player mode. Fix positioning of looping icon in Set Player. Set the d...

You can use Program Change and CC32 Bank Change messages to switch DMXIS banks & presets.

If you want to test this works before purchasing, the fully functional DMXIS software is freely available from the download page.

Beta DMXIS 1.6.9 is now vailable:

• DMXIS 1.6.9 for macOS
• DMXIS 1.6.9 for Windows (with 32 bit plug-in)
• DMXIS 1.6.9 for Windows (with 64 bit plug-in)

This is identical to the 1.6.8 beta, with one bugfix - masked presets were not loading properly.

DMXIS 1.6.9 is the latest beta:

• DMXIS 1.6.9 for macOS
• DMXIS 1.6.9 for Windows (with 32 bit plug-in)
• DMXIS 1.6.9 for Windows (with 64 bit plug-in)

This is identical to the 1.6.8 beta, with one bugfix - masked presets were not loading properly.

The Sound Tracker lets you channel levels from the audio. DMXIS cannot extract a tempo from the audio.

However, you can use tap tempo (from a footswitch connected to the DMXIS box, or via MIDI CC 110 from your controller). Alternatively, you can control DMXIS tempo using MIDI clock messages.

How are you setting your tempo from the controller?

Can Show Buddy be installed on two different computers? Sure, if you are the only user. If both computers could be in use simultaneously (at two different gigs) you would need two licenses. Have the minimum system requirements (mac) changed for the newest beta version? Nothing has changed, other th...

Emailed you this reply already - but I'll copy it here for anyone who has the same question :) Currently you use Show Buddy + DMXIS. To add video & images to your show, you would use Show Buddy + Show Buddy Active Projection . Each SBA preset can contain lighting, videos and images. Simply add vide...

Does Show Buddy also work with d-pro? No, Show Buddy and D-Pro are quite different products, and do not work together. Show Buddy is for performers who want hands-free automation of their backing tracks, lighting, video & MIDI devices. D-Pro is a traditional DMX lighting controller, designed primar...

1.6.8 - New Features Added automatic unlocking of software (Internet connection required). clicking on a selected channel will now deselect it. Holding Alt whilst adjusting Chase knob overrides the default chase behaviour and sets all channels to the same phase value. This is useful for setting up ...

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? You can get the unlock codes for your DMXIS boxes ...

Hi Dave,
Did you receive my request email?
Thanks Alessandro

Yes, I'll be sending out download links today.

What kind of event are you lighting?

The DMXIS hardware has no MIDI capabilities - it is just a USB to DMX converter.

Mixcraft definitely does not need to see the DMXIS hardware as an external MIDI device. You just need to route your MIDI notes into the DMXIS VST plug-in.

The 1.7 beta is available upon request - contact support@db-audioware.com if interested. SBS 1.7.0 release notes New features Name change to 'Show Buddy Setlist'. Refresh GUI design to be consistent with SBA. Backing track and live audio input now drive DMXIS/SBA sound tracker effects. Added click t...

There should be at least one working audio input available, corresponding to the mic input on your Windows PC.

What version of Windows are you running? Are the audio hardware drivers up to date?

Email support@db-audioware.com and we'll sort it out for you.

The Show Buddy Active demo does not transmit DMX or Art-Net data, and watermarks the video output. Otherwise, it is functionally identical to the full product.

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.

What make & model of PC do you have?

Have you checked the manufacturer's website for any driver updates?

Feel free to send me one of the problematic videos, and I'll check to see if the video format is right for SBA.

I developed SBA and Show Buddy on a lesser spec of MacBook, so it's definitely not your computer. FYI, in my testing, I routinely run SBA video at 800x600 with 25Hz refresh rate (configured from the SBA Preferences window) without any issue (whilst driving 2 universes of DMX fixtures and LED strips,...
