Steps?

Post by wayneakp »

Hi all

I have been using DMXIS for a couple of years and found it very good - i use it with TouchOSC and have added the Mover target Macro etc.

The only problem I have is setting up chases with the oscillator -for quick simple results its great but for more complex things its hard work or impossible to do - for example a ping pong effect along a par bar cant be done (or at least I cant find a way to do it).

That lead me to look for alternatives so i downloaded Daslight V4 - in that you can set "steps" for a scene which makes that sort of thing easy. However at the moment DMXIS still has the upper hand for me with the Mover target which Daslight does not yet have.

I did try and do the "steps" approach with autorun bank - two downsides were 1) A bank in effect becomes a preset , which is confusing in itself and 2) When selecting another bank of presets that also autoruns.

So my question is there a way to effectively create steps in DMXIS or is this planned for in the future?

Many thanks

Wayne

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

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 anything soon.
