Vin Trouble Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi, Im currently using a software/hardware package called Alien Apparatus with my duo. It allows me to run my backing tracks and embed DMX control for my lights, MIDI for my Roland VG-99 guitar effects and vocal effects, and lyrics. It comes with a hardware foot controller for stop/start, volume, and track search. The problem is it's limited to 32 channels DMX, and is notoriously unreliable, freezing during gigs, etc. My question is - can anyone recommend anything similar that is stable on Windows,and has foot control (if poss)?Cheers.

Modge Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 We (http://www.tracelighting.com) are going to release midi in functionality in the coming months, with the intent that bands can use generic MIDI pedals with our software. In the interests of fairness I should point out that you will find a couple of the other software based lighting control products offer MIDI in as well.

dbuckley Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I don't know of another package that comprehensive, however, if the software is freezing then perhaps you have a computer full of crud? A clean install may fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Trouble Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I wish! :) Alien Apparatus is notoriously buggy, and a quick visit to it's (now unsupported) website will confirm, in the forum. Both my laptops are clean, and aren't used for anything other than music production and performance.I don't know of another package that comprehensive, however, if the software is freezing then perhaps you have a computer full of crud?

KidRay Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Just a suggestion, I'm no expert, but how about Ableton live, a midi foot controller and DMXIS. They should all play together nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
