Show Buddy & DMXIS Forums

Hi Dave, I'm enjoying the enhancements in this release. The new backup feature is excellent and saves loads of time. I use SBS with a touchscreen monitor. I am able to select a button with one press but it does not display the song in the waveform window without a further two or three presses. A dou...

If you place a lighting cue at the beginning of a song, it will trigger upon pausing just before the song plays. I hope that makes sense.

Apologies for the delay. Only just sat down with DMXIS to work out and answer your questions :) "Does having the chase on make the light pattern random or it’s just staggering the lights?" Where chase is set to the left of the centre of the dial (12 o'clock), the chase goes right to left. ...

I was able to achieve this with the following settings for red. Settings are type - square, amount - 100%, 6 bars, shape 50% Hi there. What chase setting did you select? With the red preset running, click on each red fader one at a time and make note of the chase number (this will be different for ...

For me to get 120bpm in 1/4 notes, I have to use;

0
0.4555
0.911
1.3665

The figures in your example Dave give me 110bpm

Very odd but it's something I can live with. Bit of trial and error and I should be good.

Thanks kkinerk and Dave. Will give that a go and report back regarding the accuracy.

noticed when assigning fixtures that the channel number at the top of the fader goes away-- is this normal? would be nice if it stayed there so i know what channel id to start counting the next light from (maybe im doing something wrong here)? Welcome. You can rename your fixture to include the cha...

Short version; New mixer/audio interface Delay FX on mixer controlled by Tap Temp via midi note Set up midi chunk to fire tap tempo command (no count in) Applied 4 instances of midi chunk in line with bass drum of audio track I get different tempos on the mixer FX each time i run the track (tempo ca...

Hi Andy, did you scroll down? The hardware code and email text entry boxes are just below.

5 years? Bit of a stretch.

Beta 1.7.2 was released in October 2020

Phew! Was panicking there for a while glad it helped.

If you've saved a show, it will be stored in Library/Application Support/ENTTEC/DMXIS/Shows

Did you watch the whole video?

Have a look at this. Should hopefully explain how to create the chase you are after.

The oscillator in DMXIS is perfect for this. Assuming you are using 8 RGB cob leds, start by programming the chase with a single color. Once that chase is up and running, add the other 2 colours with the same oscillator settings, re-save the preset and you have your white chase. Hope that helps. I W...

I use an Enttec DMX USB Pro with Show Buddy Active, which is controlled by Show Buddy (setlist).

Hope that helps

Hi there, the latest beta of Show Buddy (renamed Show Buddy Setlist) 1.7 allows you to add a second audio file and output this over another 2 outputs. So you could have your partial backing track output through channels 1 & 2 for FOH and the click audio track through 3 & 4 solely to the IEMs...

Hi there, in Show Buddy, go to preferences. At the top in the lighting controller support section, tick to enable 'Use Show Buddy Active (if available)'

It's not part of Show Buddy. You need to open it from Dmxis or Show Buddy Active. Set it up and you're good to go

Hi there, have a look at the Channel Patching function in DMXIS or Show Buddy Active. That will enable you to swap your faders around as required.

You need to set the colours up separately. First do the blues to chase from 0 to 100 then do the same chase with the reds from 0 to the desired level. Save it as a preset then start it running and they should chase your purple colour.
I am happy to go into the numbers if needed.
Hope that helps.

Any joy? Have a look at this...

I tend to keep the rgb colours enabled together but you could isolate each colour if you wish. Lets say I selected my red preset. Everything except the rgb channels will be greyed out. The reds would be at 100% the blues and greens would be on zero but enabled. If I then select my dimmer 100 preset....

Hi there. Don't overwrite. Create a new preset each time. I use masking for everything. For your set up I would first disable all channels, then select and enable all the dimmer channels for your pars. I normally create 2 presets one at zero (off) and one at 100. Next disable all channels again and ...

The offending preset will be highlighted in red on the timeline of the song. As MegaSimon (cool name!) says, either create a preset with that name or delete the cue.

Request a link to the 1.7 beta. Dave has added onscreen transport controls. As a touchscreen user myself, I found using the onscreen keyboard frustrating. The beta solves the problem.

You need to activate 2 stereo pairs in preferences. The backing will play through the first and the click through the second.

SBA does work with an Enttec USB Pro. Don't know about the MK2 version though.

Hi there. When you launch SBA for the first time, you are given the option to import you show(s) from DMXIS.

As far as I know, the video player just plays visuals.

Hope that helps

This is something I have asked for previously. I hope it is still on Dave's, undoubtedly long, to do list.

Something similar to the patch screen should suffice so you can select the fader number and input the min/max range required.
