Re: Development Releases Nov 2023 - feedback thread

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...

Re: In Between Songs

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.

Re: Help with Oscillator Settings

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. ...

Re: 1.7.1 Midi Chunk for Tap Tempo

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.

Re: Basic chases can’t be done.

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...

Re: Chase with 4 Par Bars

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.

Re: Masking is driving me CRAZY!!!!

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.

Re: Limiting maximum DMX Value for specific faders ?

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

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