If that's the case, then a macro will work. I'm pretty busy right now, but should be able to program a macro for you in the near future.

Oscillators sync up when a preset is started, or a Tap Tempo is initiated. So... copy/paste the values, then save the preset, then exit the preset, then go back to it and things should be in sync. Or, Copy/Paste the values, then hit the Tap Tempo switch hooked up to the DMXIS box, or the Tap Tempo b...

If you created a dmxis_clipboard directory, remove it. That needs to be a file, not a directory. It will get created in the process. In both the CopyChannel.py and PasteChannel.py files change: clipboardfile = "/tmp/dmxis_clipboard" to clipboardfile = "C:\\Users\\{username}\\AppData\\...

Am I making any more sense now? Hmmm... trying to understand here. I'm a little slow today. lol. Could you perhaps create a copy of a preset? That would create a duplicate of the preset and then you could modify one of them as needed while keeping all the other channels the same. Or perhaps you cou...

However, when I try to run the macro for copy, I get the following error; looks like there could be a mismatch in the directory structure. Are you running this on a Mac or PC? Look back at the thread for the macro HERE . There's an explanation on setting up directories there. That might be all you ...

Not exactly sure what you mean...

When changing presets, the masked channels on the new preset will inherit the values from the preset you're leaving. The channels will not change until you select a preset that doesn't have the channels masked.

Not possible with DMXIS. Would be nice though.

Can someone explain to a newbie how the scripts work? Like a keystroke Macro in Excel, a DMXIS Macro can set up several channels into a certain configuration by using one command. For example, if you wanted to evenly distribute the value of several selected fixtures between 0 and 100%, you could do...

I think DMXIS can do this via a foot pedal. If "movers centered" is the last preset of the bank then press and hold the footpedal will jump to that from wherever it is and will revert on release. I don't know about MIDI. Yes, that's correct. It will load that last preset via footswitch. I...

Check out the scripts HERE.

A little late with this answer. Hopefully you've discovered this by now.

No, scripts can not be triggered via MIDI.

DMXIS Python scripts do not run in real time.

If none of your other presets change the Focus, then mask will work.

When you mask a channel in a preset, then it remains unchanged when that preset is selected.

Sounds like you want to try to use a Momentary Preset. How you create them is in the manual. But long story short, they need to be in a Bank where the last preset is named "Off". Hmmm... Is the Momentary Preset a Show Buddy thing, or is it useful with stand alone DMXIS as well? For exampl...

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? Yes, the macro could be edited to do that... however, if you wanted Ch 266 to be 182 or some other value in the future then the macro would need edited eve...

Check the Macro posted HERE. It moves all selected channels in all presets and banks by 5 counts.

If that's too much movement, then change the value in the macro to your liking.

Is the Fade To Next down for ALL presets?

A quick way to check is to look at the C:\Users\Public\Documents\ENTTEC\DMXIS\Presets\[Your Bank]\bank.xml file

Every preset should have crossfade="0"

Message me if you come to Paris (France) someday
thank you

You're welcome!
Been there once... about 25 years ago. Maybe I'll get there again some day.

And If you can do that I owe you a pint

Done! Download r1 above.

Now about that pint.

Here you go. Place them in the Macros/Global Edits directory.

I set the Inc / Dec value to 5... that's 5 based on a channel value being 0 to 255. Feel free to change the value to what ever you like.

dadov wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 11:43 am Do you have a solution for this?

I can code this for you.

Just to clarify, you want something that will Increase or Decrease the selected channels for ALL presets in ALL banks, correct?

A beta of Show Buddy (not Active) 1.7.1 was made available in August of 2019. Hopefully that will be released soon and an update to Show Buddy Active soon after. I'm in the same situation as others here... bought SBA, but waiting for an update before actively using it. I've gone as far as looking in...

Highly unlikely this will ever happen. People have been asking for this for years. That being said, you can change the resolution of your screen. Go with a lower resolution. That will make DMXIS fill up more of the screen. If it's particularly bothersome, go with Show Buddy Active. Show Buddy Active...

There's no way to test DMXIS internally without additional hardware. I keep an old Chauvet DMX-4 around for that very reason... to test the DMX signal. In fact, any fixture responding to DMX signals properly is a good test. If the moving head was still responding to movement commands correctly, but ...

May I ask why you're waiting to upgrade to SBA? I used SBA for a few weeks at home after getting it. I ran into a few minor bugs here and there. It was enough for me to stick with DMXIS. DMXIS is working for me at the moment. I like the improved layout of SBA, but feature-wise for my setup (no vide...

A 2 universe interface to consider is the Chauvet DMX-AN2 . I actually have one and SBA... but have been waiting (over a year now) for the next version of SBA to be released before moving from DMXIS to SBA. That being said, I can't positively say if it works with SBA or not because I haven't tried i...

Take a look at the C:\Users\Public\Documents\ENTTEC\DMXIS\Presets\DmxConfig.xml file with a text editor.

There's a section of the file labeled <MidiAssignments>. It's pretty self explanatory how it's set up once you see it.

Yes sort of - the Daslight program creates a preset with a series of "sub-presets" which keeps things tidy. Hopefully DMXIS can incorporate something similar before Daslight catches up with mover targets ;-) Seeing as how my request was made over a year ago it's highly unlikely you'll see...

A few things to check are:

1. Do you have the DMXIS box connected to a USB port of the computer and does the software say it's connected?
2. Is the cable from the DMXIS box to the GigBAR DMX in good?
3. What DMX channel is the GigBAR set to?

Sounds like another vote for the "Chase Group" feature mentioned HERE.

Best to contact sales@db-audioware.com directly on that question.
