Question two, is it possible to hookup to a counsel to the X-Factor so i have physical sliders and joystick. I would love to have the option to do this, but cant find a way to do it.

Thanks

Yes it is possible. And you can see the dmx outputs in our bargraph and the lights in our 3D rendering.

I use an X-Factor

This feature is not available yet.
We are working on dmx input and midi input management.
This should be ready before Summer season.

Sorry xfactor is what I use in my perminent setup. I recently got a xpress 512 for my mobile rig, mainly because I love my MacBook pro.

Thanks for working on the externel board. This is my first time working with USB controlers and it always is nice to have real sliders and a joystick. Do you know if this will be a USB hookup or via another port and what controllers it will be compadible with.

Also I been digging through some info and just out of curiosity, can you use a mic on the computer for triggering. I was about to buy a magic 260 with that feature but ended up getting my xfactor and xpress 512 because of the computer ability. However sound triggers are still helpfull with strobes and all.

Presently, there is no usb and microphone trigger possibiity.
And in a near future, there will be only dmx input and midi input.
