Daslight Forum

Hi Tom, Sorry, Daslight 4 doesn't have any MIDI general clearing feature. If you want to take away MIDI pairings, you have to do so one-by-one, and uncheck MIDI feature everywhere. Wouldn't that be a usability enhancement par excellence? If you want to restructure your Akai Mini APC Pads, cause your...

Hi Tom, I accept that Daslight is not supporting OEM devices with the beta releases. But I don't really understand being restrictive with beta releases, as this is the best way to gain broader access to setups you don't own and also get various use cases tested. Ok, you decided as company on this an...

Hi Benno, in your announcement post for "Daslight Beta 16 August 2017" you listed the following item: "Ability to merge previous patched fixtures when using the Import facility" I thought that this is for the case described by douezneuf. Is it not? What is then the idea behind me...

Hi kraimor,

first I would check how your light devices are configured. Most of the devices nowadays do have the ability to define how they should act when the DMX signal is lost. Typical is that you can choose between blackout, last dmx status and autoshow.

Don't know what knobs/pads of this controller are standard midi controller elements. But in general this should work. The only part that needs typically some trial/error is the color programming for the pads. I use an Akai Mini APC. This does have only 3 colours available. But it does have some more...

Hi all, I decided to put all the uplighting fixtures at the end of the universe channels. But while doing this I came across the following strange behaviour, that I would consider right now as bug: When patching a fixture with the highest channel on 512, it automatically creates a new universe and s...

Hi all, while working a bit with the fixtures for my setup, I wonder in the Library Editor what multiple presets are being used for and how that works: screenshot_channel_presets.JPG Would it help me in case I have cross-references for a specific channel. For instance if channel A is set to value X ...

Hi all,

I tried to adapt my ADJ Ultra Bar 12 profile and fail to disable the Pan/Tilt, cause this bar does obviously have no Pan/Tilt. But removing the checkmark in the profile settings and clicking ok does not remove. The checkbox keeps being activated. What am I doing wrong here?

Nun habe ich jedoch das Problem wenn ich denn Moving Head steuern will (via Steps) gehen die Fader für Pan und Tilt hoch und runter bis die einfade Zeit zu Ende ist, dann verbleiben sie bei der Position. Allerdings ist ja der Übergang flüssig laufen. Ich bin mir ob der Beschreibung nicht wirklich s...

When a user is clicking on a Button in the Software then a Midi-Message is send to the APC 40 to set the Button-Color. If you decide to implement it in Dashlight i would prefer this Way: This is already there. When you are in show mode, the scene buttons can be triggered by midi. To setup right cli...

Sorry, Daslight 4 doesn't send this kind of feedback from channel faders while scenes are running. We concidered adding this feature, but it would make too much fuzz, sending endless feedback midi messages , and having sliders moving all the time . As I said, it would be a huge benefit for editing ...

Same here. I do have to disable all check options. Maybe it would make more sense to ask if you really would like to save with still existing errors. Cause you might need to stop working on a profile and finish the profile then later. But this doesn't mean, that you don't want to know that there are...

Hi all,

how can I store fixture profiles even when they still consider errors? It is quite annoying when you can save while working through all those errors of a pre-defined profile.

Hi all, I wonder how I can get MIDI feedback send to my MIDI controller when loading a scene or a step of a scene. I use a Behringer BCF2000 for editing scenes. This is the reason why I bought a motor fader MIDI controller. But right now I just get it working that moving the faders send feedback to ...
