Show Buddy + Show Buddy Active iPad control

Post by StickS »

I am trying to find a solution for automated light control synced to a click track for a band. What we need seems to be covered with a SB/SBA setup...Show Buddy for the setlist and light control and SBA to create the light show...BUT, my singer needs to be able to see and select songs from an iPad to start the click, and I can't find anything showing that Show Buddy can be controlled from an iPad to that extent using TouchOSC or similar. Is there another solution? I'm thinking maybe Ableton with SBA or DMXIS...I'd like to use SBA so I can utilize the Visualizer in order to program the show without the lights hooked up.
Suggestions?

Old post I know, sorry.

There are a couple of options;
1/ You can setup a laptop somewhere else on stage, and control the laptop from the iPad using VNC or something similar.

2/ Or, as I am in the middle of doing right now, get a Windows 10 tablet like the Microsoft Surface that can run Show Buddy directly instead of using the iPad.
