Lighting Software Recommendation Please?

[gregal0711]

I'm looking for a piece of lighting software where I can program a theatre style show with moving lights and LED par cans.

 

I'm currently using freestyler DMX but need the software to do a few additional things.

 

The major thing is to be able to adjust a Moving Light position by a certain value in every cue. For example adjust the tilt position for a single moving light in every cue in a cue stack.

The second thing I need to be able to do is trigger the 'GO' to next cue function from either MIDI or timecode from an audio track.

 

Any suggestions would be much much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Usual first question applies - what's your budget?

I'm not really looking at spending much, there isn't a budget for it, I want to know if I can do this anyhow with cheap computer software could be:

Freestyler, QLC, Chamsys Magic Q or even Avolie Titan One.

We can certainly do that, though you need the DX2 for MIDI in.

With Chamsys you need and extra box to sync to Timecode - SMPTE or MIDI but you can use winamp time directly

Martins MPC software is free. The first universe is unlocked for both Entec boxes and Art-Net output. The software is unlocked and stuff like midi notes and time code can be used freely with any off the shelf midi hardware.

 

Thanks.
