2022 MyDMX Showfile Update + Even More Programming Tips!

[@LDProOSU]

ADJ MyDMX 3.0 software engineer here: A huge tip to significantly reduce your scene counts for anyone wanting to learn a workaround way to programing in 3.0. You can have your strobe with one scene & group, and then combine with any color you want live + more. All you have to do is program your strobe scene with all the fixtures shutters on strobe, or in the effects tab you can use the waveform effect for the dimmer channels with a sawtooth pattern if the fixture doesn’t have a shutter channel. Make sure all other channels are set to “OFF” Then in your colors scenes, you set all your fixtures colors, and make sure all other channels are set to “OFF”. Then to turn on certain fixtures or all fixtures, or even dimmer effects, you have another group for your dimmer scenes controlling the dimmer channel and all other channels must be set to “OFF”. Same would go for moving head movement scenes, gobo scenes, etc. The beauty is, they stack in live mode (as long as they are in different groups) and have overrides. You can also utilize the release setting in the edit tab next to your timeline. Example: dimmer scene (all fixtures on), color scene (red) - you can now hit a strobe scene and your dimmer and color will still be set, but now you have strobing and could also change the color in real time due to in-group overriding. Once you deactivate the strobe scene, it goes back to all fixtures on (solid) with the color you still have selected. Scenes override other scenes even in other groups in ORDER from start to finish (usually). This allows you to have potentially X color scenes, X dimmer scenes, and only 1 strobe scene ((or more depending if you want different strobe types (sync strobe or phased strobe)) Now you don’t have to have a strobe scene for every color, plus all the color scenes on top. Think of groups as individualizing channels for your fixtures. I hope this helps everyone with making programing simpler! ((Also, if you ever have a scene not behaving properly, make sure in the scene (dimmer for example), ALL FIXTURES only have the dimmer channel set to “ON”, and the rest set to “OFF”.)) This method allows you to become extremely creative and free.

This is what I’ve been wondering about. Man if you did a video explaining this it would be soooooo helpful. For example I’m trying to make 3 groups for my Maverick Mk Pyxis. First group for color combo, second group for shutter and dimmer intensity, like strobing or pulsing. And 3rd group for movement. I just didn’t know how to do it right without overriding each other. So essentially just make sure channels that don’t belong to that group should be off right? Only channels that are on will override ? And it goes from group left to right that overrides? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense

[@LDProOSU]

@@catarinooviedo9794you are exactly correct. Have your three groups, within those groups make sure the channel you want to control is on and ensure all other channels are OFF on all fixtures. Overrides typically go left to right in the groups, but I believe this is a once in a while bug. Real overrides obviously happen within the same group while clicking different scenes. If you want to utilize the “release” tool in the edit/steps tab, it can be useful also, but a bit tricky to master. I may make a video soon!

@@LDProOSU Went back and it all worked thank you so much! Only problem i have now is mapping it with my apc40 Mk 2. For some reason i cant map the Beat Bar Buttons on it and the hard click buttons takes 3 clicks to fully work. 1 click to turn activate a scene, another click does nothing, and the third click turns it off. So its not a quick on off. Do you happen to have any insight on this? If not no worries but thanks again!

[@LDProOSU]

@@catarinooviedo9794Yes! Sorry just saw this, when I go to my desk later today I will comment my midi values to get the buttons to work either as toggles or flashes for you.

Hey! Appreciate your channel. Do you have a way to do a random fade through the software or did you do it manually? Any tips overall on how to make this happen. I'm having a hard time thinking about how I could make this happen.

[@LDProOSU]

Do you mean a global fade time?

[@mikevillegas2798]

Great videos! Have a questions, when im using my dmx 3.0.. i set up movements and colors (in dif groups for moving heads) but when i go live and i hit a different movement i made and my light goes black and have to click another color. Any idea what im doing wrong?

[@DJFiezta]

Your movement scene has either shutter or dimmer set to 0 making it so that when you click on it, it turns the light off. To fix this, just select all the steps in the movement scene, and set all faders that aren’t pan and tilt to off, there’s a button under each fader that’ll either be on or off

Duuuuude the standby scene... clutch

[@DJFiezta]

Rightttttt

my DMX is running very slow with lag, I have a Mac 2021 M1, anyone with the same issue?

[@liltutsi7399]

Hello ! What midi controller do you recommend to use My DMX 3.0?

[@DJFiezta]

Apc mini mk2

[@Chazhl]

Hi I was wondering how you program your midi controller to have a flash effect when you hold down a buuton

[@LDProOSU]

If you want a flash effect click the “flash” button when editing your scene.

[@Chazhl]

@@LDProOSU yes, but how do you do that with a midi controller. So you have to press and hold the button like a flash scene.
