Hi All. I am trying to work with some Chauvet Q SPOT 560 LED fixtures but cannot get them to show in the 3D visualiser. Unfortinatly my fixtures are a few hundred miles away so cannot test them on the hardware. Does anyone else use these fixtures and have the same problem ? I have tried the SSL that...

I have downloaded the 21st March release of lumidesk, when I run the software it states its the version dated the 6th.
Now when I run lumidesk it asks me do i want to recover the last show, why is this ?

hot-chili

Can this software be used to control lumidesk ultimate ?

How do I dgo about trying to get some slimline 29 fixtures to work in the 3D visuliser ?
fixture info here.

http://www.esr.co.uk/manuals/440-182.pdf

I can control the fixture with lumidesk, but it would be nice to be able to see them working in the 3D visuliser.

please advise

Hi is there anyone there ?

Does anyone use this forum any more ?

Hi Jullian

What is the largest supported SD Card for the Ultimate controller ?
A link to the product on the vendors web site would be great if there is a specific one you recommend.

Thanks

Hi Casey

Julien gave me a demo on this during a recent teamview session we had, its a good little tool.

Have fun

Cannot wait to buy one, it looks great.

I agree it is a time consuming job but you can make it your own in a very unique way.
I would be interested in hearing the final production you have bought, prior to buying one myself.
Can you post it somewhere so we can here it ?

I will check my settings against yours and see where we go from there.

Cheers
Simon

I have the same problem.

If you have not got one I recommend you do get one !

Hi Guys

I find it usefull to open other fixtures in the editor to see how they have been created, then apply that knowledge to the fixture you are trying to make.
Hope that helps

Looks like I maybe on a hiding to nothing, as a lot of forums talking about the korg nano pad are saying that these units break and are not reliable, I will try for a little while longer and then I can update this thread so we will have a definitive guide to the nanopad.

Cheers

Ok - Will look forward to it - About the same time OK.

Hi Julien

Any luck on the midi crashing problem ?

Hi Casey

Glad you got the gig !

It sounds to me like there is a problem with the AVI Codec hence the player not showing the content, as divx uses diferent codecs.

Jullien should be able to let you know what codec is used when the recording is being done and how to resolve the issue.

Hi Lumidesk Users

Do any of you have any software tweeks you would like in future releases of the lumidesk software?
If you do can you reply to this thread giving some outlines to your wish as Julien will be looking over these

Cheers
Simon

Hi Julien

I see Lumidesk is a relitivly young product, do you have any interesting additions to the software in mind or is this the finished product ?

Lumidesk is already a good product but can it get any better ?, I am sure other users have a wish list that could help in its growth?

Cheers

Hi Larry.

If it was me I would take the DMX cable out of the Behringer LC2412 and just use the Lumidesk Ultimate for the show, then when you have finished plug the DMX cable back into the Behringer LC2412 so that others can use the desk they are used to.

Ps where will I find how to put the ultimate into stand alone mode when not using a PC ?

Thanks

hot-chili

It may create a little more work, but if you want to be in first place you have to train like your second, so buy putting these little bits in place will eventually make Lumidesk first place.

hot-chili

Hi Casey

That would make alot of sense to do it that way, and maybe a dedicated way to erase the memory card, either partially or fully.

Lets see what happens - I am still waiting for my hardware to arrive !
