Daslight Forum

Hi, As far as I know, a MIDI device cannot be used by 2 applications at the same time. The first running app "locks" the device for itself. Maybe, disable the device in Daslight (Preferences -> MIDI -> Disable the "Active" box). Doing this, the MIDI device should be available for...

Hello Pcpanik,

Have a big fun, I hope everything will be OK with your choice.

Hello Pcpanik,

You're welcome.
You are right : Daslight4 has some missing features, as you explain here.
I'm sure that the developpers will read this topic and they will add these suggestions for the next version.

If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help you again.

Kind regards.

EDIT : to have a different name in the bottom tab, change the name of the ssl file before patching it.

Try this new file for Diamond Dome (for fixture name & multi colour presets).

Hope this helps.

Hello, I'm trying to answer your questions. 1) There is no grid in the 2D view. Each square may be moved freely. However, you can select a group of fixtures and click the option for automatic positionning (square, circle, horizontal line, vertical line and advanced). There are also 2 buttons to rota...

Hello,

You can create several show pages and switch from one page to another.
But there is only one show window, which can be undocked and put fullscreen on a second display.
It's not possible to see 2 different show windows at the same time.

Hi, You can define buttons on a SHOW page : one to start the first scene, next and previous buttons and a release button to stop the current scene. With this method, you won't see the bunch of scenes but just the control buttons. Individual scenes may have their own fade times for smooth transitions...

Hi,

As far as I know, unfortunately, this is not possible. Only Easy View 2 works with Daslight 4.
Can the technical support confirm this ?

Other DMX software CAN do exactly what you want very easily with few commands. Each brand has its own characteristics, parameters and features. Maybe the next version (Daslight 5) will make it possible ? I'm not sure that Daslight hardware will work with other software and vice versa. I don't know e...

As far as I know, it won't be possible to do this kind of chase and fade out with a multi-step scene. The reason is that Daslight4, as I noticed before, does not handle channel on/off state for each step but globally for the whole scene. The blue static scene A is always overriden by the chase scene...

Hi, I think I understand your question. To run several scenes together, 2 things are important : 1) In EDIT mode, the on/off status of each DMX channel used for the scenes. - ON with value > 0 = a significant value for the channel - ON with value = 0 = reset value to zero for the channel (as if the ...

Hi,

I've tried this feature on the latest Daslight 4 with APC mini, it works fine.
If you're talking about MyDMX3, sorry I can't help you (and it seems to be the wrong forum here).

Hi, It should be possible to use several MIDI controllers at the same time if the MIDI channel can be changed on those controllers. If two MIDI devices are set to the same MIDI channel, Daslight cannot differentiate them. It's like the devices were cloned. As far as I know, the APC 20 and APC 40 do ...

Hi TomHat, Thanks for your answer. I stopped using Daslight 4 for some reasons explained briefly above, mainly unexpected issues during shows. It's a personal decision, although I'm sure that D4 has been improved in the meantime. I've switched to another software and interface. Nevertheless, Dasligh...

Do you have a manual with the DMX channels explained ?
I can have a look also if you send it to me.
