Re: How to leave unmapped faders?
There isn't a simple direct way to do what your requesting. The light fixture itself determines the channels and they run contiguously from whatever the start channel is. DMXIS is functionally a very simple 512ch DMX controller (1 fader per channel) with some sophisticated macros running on top to ...

Re: How to leave unmapped faders?
Do a Right-Click|Fixture Library|<whatever fixture you want> only on the channels where you want them to start. Do this for Ch 1, 17, 33, etc... Skip over Ch 15 & 16, 31 & 32.

Re: Enttec Emu?
Just went and took a look at it. Hmmm... It says it's the "DMXIS's Next Generation", but functionality-wise I'd say it appears to more pre-DMXIS. Searched through the manual for scripting features (which I use a lot in DMXIS)- nothing there. They lost me at that point. Show Buddy Active is...

Re: Fog-machine on/off
The solution of having a fog control preset with all other presets having the Fog channel disabled will work nicely. Keep in mind the Speed, Shape, and Tempo will affect the results. For example, if Speed is 1 bar, Shape is 25% and Tempo is 60 bpm, then Fog will be on for one second then off for thr...

[BUG 1.7.3] Forget Midi Assignment doesn't stay forgotten
I have several channels assigned to a Midi CC that I no longer need. I do a Right-Click|Forget on the channel. If I Right-Click on it again, it appears to be 'forgotten'... however, if I exit DMXIS, then restart it- I see the Midi assignment is still there. When I look at the dmxconfig.xml file, I c...

Re: Timing Problems with MIDI-Signals to the Lights
I watched the video and can see the issue you're talking about. I'm unable to duplicate your setup here (I run standalone DMXIS on a PC). If I had your setup in front of me, here's what I'd do: 1. Verify the MIDI data . On a PC I use MIDI-OX. I think you can use Midi Pipe to do this on a Mac. Make s...

Will disabling channels lead to better performance?
Mainly a question for Dave, but thought others could benefit from the answer. I'm revising my lighting rig and creating some new presets for it.

Re: Art-Net Output
I believe doing this would open up DMXIS to rampant software piracy... unless some other verification method is used. Having the USB box plugged in ensures a 1:1 correspondence between the users and DMXIS packages purchased.

Re: Timing Problems with MIDI-Signals to the Lights
I see. I'm at a bit of a loss since I only use DMXIS in stand-alone mode. I've never used it with a DAW. If I were to troubleshoot it, here's what I'd do. I'd monitor the MIDI data from the DAW with MidiOx. Look at the data stream to see if there are any unexpected messages (including sysex) going o...

Re: Timing Problems with MIDI-Signals to the Lights
It could be a DMX protocol limitation depending upon how quickly you're trying to make changes. Check out THIS article.
If that's the case then it won't matter what program is used since it's not a DMXIS issue.

Re: Copy masking on specific channels only?
I think I can help you out with this... Just to be clear, You want a macro that sets Enable = OFF for all presets in all banks for selected channel(s)... then leave the selected channel(s) with Enabled = ON for the preset you're in?

Re: Copying presets to a new bank
Yes, you can do this outside of DMXIS. The banks are just folders in the ENTTEC\DMXIS\Presets folder. Close the DMXIS program, Go into the Presets folder and copy the bank to a new folder, then run DMXIS. The new folder will show up in the list of banks.

I'm not sure if Masking is what you want to use. I'll give a detailed explanation with an example and you can decide if it's what you want to use. The Enabled property in any channel in a preset can either be ON or OFF. When Enabled is set to ON, then the channel will equal the saved value for that ...

Re: Channel Masking Show Buddy Active
If you want presets that do Full Red, Full Green, etc... then you do not want to use masking. Masking retains the previous preset value when the new preset is chosen. Think of Masking as an "add too" feature. That's why you currently get Yellow when selecting Full Green after the Full Red....

Re: DMXis and Ultra DMXking
DMXIS does not accept DMX input from an external controller in the manner you have described.
It does, however, accept OSC and/or MIDI as input. OSC is a very powerful way to control DMXIS externally.
