Hello everyone, I’m Huang Wei. I come from Liuyang, Hunan—the hometown of fireworks and firecrackers in China, and I have been in the fireworks industry for nearly two years. For me, fireworks are not just a gorgeous moment, but an art that brings beauty and romance to everyone. I really love creating fantastic firework shows. I’m so glad to meet friends from all over the world who share the same passion for fireworks. I hope we can communicate more, learn Finale 3D design skills together and make progress with each other!

Hello! My name is Neil and I’m an avid Finale 3D user!

Hi Walker Pyrotechnics, I’m not aware of any issues with the Product List By Position report. But, if you send your show file to support@finale3d.com and give me an example of a specific position that’s missing form the report, I would happy to look into it.

I am trying to run the report “product list by position” and when I do, it is missing several of my positions. Is this a known problem? Those positions do have lots of effects, so I am unsure why they are not showing up on my report.

thanks )   offtop and please check email… still no answer for my request about dmx equipment.

We have done our best to create the most accurate effect simulations possible based on the information available, but we realize everything is not perfect. Improvements will most likely not be made to the catalog before the competition ends on April 1st.

Hey all, coming from 15 years ago out of Finale 2D software, and just now realizing that my machine which had the drivers for my DeweyCoon S12C firing system (old PyroUniverse.com folks might remember…) is in the great computer server in the sky.   So I was hoping someone still had the appropriate Arduino drivers that might work with Windows 11 and the last version of PIC that was released back in 2014 I think.  I know it’s a long shot, but this forum is about the best chance I’ve got.   Unfortunately, without those drivers, I’m unable to move my Finale 3D scripted show into PIC and on to the S12C, leaving me (gasp) manually firing a small upcoming show in May.   If anyone has a lead, let me know.  Otherwise, if anyone is selling a Cobra system…   *sigh*

Hey group, hoping for some good news, but not expecting it.  I’m an old-timer who started using Finale 2D about 15 years ago, and I had a decent hobbyist setup that used the old “DeweyCoon” S12C controller to fire a bunch of 32-cue modules. (FJ Pyrosystems.com, which is no longer in business).   The system was an Arduino-based setup that would use the OpenPyro software called “PyroIgnitionControl” to be able to fire scripted shows that were imported to PIC via CSV scripts exported from Finale.   Finale was configured to export in the format that PIC required, although the CSV file needed some manipulation before being read into the PIC software.  However, today in the Finale 3D software, all reference to the openpyro based systems seems to be gone.  Is one of the selectable systems based on the same architecture?   And for that matter, I can export a CSV for any system and mess around with it and get it in the right format for PIC, but second question:  Does anyone have the arduino drivers for the PIC software archived anywhere?  It won’t recognize the COM port without drivers, and the computer that used to shoot my shows has long since bit the dust.   I’m guessing I’m stuck with manual fire until I finally join teh cool kids with Cobra or something else, but hoping that someone might see my plea here.   Thanks!
