Adding onto Simon’s answer about light fades, most pyro+DMX controllers do not implement a ramp function in hardware, so the only way to implement a fade is with a rapid sequence of events.  That can be an issue with the controller’s script rows limit, as Simon points out, but it doesn’t totally rule out the idea.

Here are the steps we are…Read More

The part number field is editable in the per-show effects table, but since the part number field is the key for effect rows it is not possible to have two rows with the same part numbers.  That may explain why the part number appeared to be not editable in the table.

Bear in mind, the script rows contain part numbers that are references to…Read More

TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH:

I managed to design a small demo show in order to get to know the software but when I arrived at the time of programming I encountered some difficulties:
I use Firemaster 3 and I encountered the problem with the beeps that are too close to me (firemaster requires 0.50 sec. Between one beep and the next) and if I put 100…Read More

That’s a nice idea and easy to do.  I’ll add that to the list!

The full release was launched today.  The effect icons have a sub-button for the preview again, and the full release contains a very long list of minor improvements.

Thanks, Tristan.  Can you tell me what middle click means?  On my chrome browser the tabs have an “x” close box near the right edge, and my mouse has only a left and right button, so I’m not sure what you are describing.

Thank you, Simon, I was not aware that the close box on the search field also cleared the quantity filter.  As you guessed, that’s a bug, and I just added it to my list for fixing prior to promoting beta to release.

I also added to my list,

Yes, confirmed, I have already added back the preview, and improved it by adding a “sub-button” to invoke the preview instead of hovering the cursor.  I am a little confused about the release notes because I thought that I had added it back in the current beta but I don’t see a mention of it in the release notes.  The next release will come out t…Read More

The GPU is the most important part of your machine specs for simulating large shows.  Do not get a machine with only “Intel Integrated Graphics” or “Intel HD Graphics” which basically means the machine does not have a GPU.  We generally recommend Nvidia GPUs, though it is not a requirement.

Two things I’d like to add related to Nvidia GPUs s…Read More

Jim, are you saying the standard Galaxis G-Flame simulation that is part of Generic Effects looks bad?  Here’s how the standard g-flame sim looks on my computer (a sequence of shots from left to right, showing the sim at different offsets in its lifetime).  Is this also what it looks like on your computer?  If so, reply-back with a picture or tw…Read More

Okay, thanks for the feedback.

Good bug report, thank you.  It was an oversight on my part.  I just made the Notes column have capability of becoming a filter/selector.  The fix will come out in the next beta version next week.
