Exporting DMXIS automation lanes to use via Cymatic Audio?

Post by nickhuge »

Hi Guys

As much as I'm enjoying playing with Ableton Live and DMXIS as a new user, I really want an even simpler rig to set up for my very narrow use case (backing track plus DMX sequenced light show in sync).

We have a Cymatic LP-16 at our disposal and while I got it running with Show Buddy Active I found that softwar5e was limited to me being able to set presets but not have the level of control I wanted like DMXIS has with the automation lanes.

My question is, is there a way to curate my DMXIS light show in Ableton live with automation lanes, export this out as a single midi file (no idea if this is possible / how automation lanes effect final midi files, if it even works like this), and play it back via the LP-16 and a decabox (midi-dmx interface, rather than the USB>DMX interface of the Enttec) with all the automation as it would be in Ableton?

I'd love to test this out but noone I know in London has a decabox to play with!
