The Lighting Controller

How do I get a proper 3d representation of a Chauvet DJ 4Bar Flex? I loaded the profile ok so it shows up in the fixtures list as expected. (19 channens) But in 3d view there is no selection for a unit with four separate beams. If I add a bunch of single pars, the channel options will not be correct ...

I must have a setting wrong or something, but my lights are shining right throug objects in the 3D view. Hardly giving me a realistic look at how this will be in real life.

What am I doing wrong? See attached file.

Thanks.

I gave up on this software two years ago, and I though I would give it a try once again as I prepare to head out on the road with a new tour...

Make a new scene with three steps:

step 1 blue 00:00:50
step 2 white 00:00:10
step 3 blue 00:00:50

Then hit play watching the results either with real ...

I already use loop Midi. That sends the midi from Cubase to ShowXpress. My question was if the other software, sweetlight, will work with my Xpress DMX cable I just bought. I read somewhere that Chauvet just rebrands their DMX boxes.

Luc, does that software work with the the Chauvet USB controllers? I just bought the Xpress-100 cable.

Hey Luc,

Yes, I have tested this on my laptop as well as my studio PC that is built for video editing and music production. Same behavior on both. I sent a video and files to the support team to see if it happens for them. You can watch this video to see the phenomenon. https://youtu.be/Cpo1tyWvfbo

well, i just tried that, and it was actually worse... The lights were almost a full beat ahead of the music.

Thanks for the idea, though!

... sure, but then there is no audio playing. These are my backing tracks, I kinda need them..

To recap with details, because this is still a big problem.

I have simplilfied my setup to remove any external devices from being the cause of this.

I am running Windows 10 on a laptop PC. ShowXpress is on that system. I use an Xpress 100 cable to attach to two T3 light fixtures. I use DMX cables ...

A work around was to edit all the .tml files and remove the long path.
