DMX lights are really fun to program!

I got the full Vibrio 512 package, but it seems the sequences don't keep the prior scene active like I expected, meaning stage right solo has to be recreated in every color I intend to use as an example.

Like the rig!

Hi! Great video, i've learned about midi and DMX with you. Right now, I program all my lights in Cubase and connect it with my rig through Enttec DMXiS. Would this setup work easily with Showbuddy?

@LearnLizard

Although I personally haven't tried running the Show Buddy Active plug-n in Cubase, it should work the same way as in Logic. (and the Enttec interface should work as well) Let me know how it goes if you have a chance- I'd like to know.

Pretty cool, though I am not sure exactly what red line tools was for. If you created the image in Photoshop, can't you just export it from photoshop? Looks like just the .png and lower the opacity some.

Its a little bit confusing... Show Buddy came first and basically does the same thing but you have to use it with ENTTEC DMXIS hardware to control your lights. Show Buddy Active adds features and you can use it with any compatible Art-Net interface like the eDMX1 PRO like I am using in the video. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Show Buddy Active lets you map any controller as shown here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaVkvNuAg5O8h7Q.html Use the "Midi Learn" function and just play the note on your controller that you want to trigger the preset. Its actually easier than it looks and works great. Appreciate you watching!

will show buddy active work with the computer usb to 3pin xlr cable to the 1st devise the chain the rest?

@LearnLizard

2 жыл бұрын

Yes- If you purchase the full version it will work with USB to DMX interfaces (according to their website) I haven't tested myself. And once you have a DMX signal you can daisy chain as many lights as you want.

Maybe I got this wrong? You have to build your show in Show Buddy? Is it possible to have a show build in vibrio and then have it visualized in Show Buddy without having to create the show in Show Buddy? Export dmx or midi from vibrio?

@LearnLizard

2 жыл бұрын

That's a really good question. Vibrio can launch scenes and sequences when it receives MIDI commands but it can't send MIDI. By creating duplicate scenes in SBA and Vibrio you can use a MIDI sequencer (like Logic Pro) to trigger the scenes on each. I know its convoluted, but its a budget friendly way to see what a simple show will look like if you are willing to put in the time.

Would you recommend this over QLC-PLUS?

@LearnLizard

I want to spend a lot more time with QLC+, but one huge draw for me with Show Buddy Active is that it runs as a plug in in Logic Pro. It makes it easy to add lighting control in sync to audio in a DAW. But the previews for QLC+ 5 look incredible especially with its 3D visualizer-- and you have to love its price :)
