I have heard no sooner than this summer. I'm sure David already knows, but I asked if he could make it early summer so that we can get some testing done and work out any kinks that need to be worked out. I am hoping they do something with the Matrix Animator, I am retired and it has taken me 4 days already to program text for a 2 and a half minute song and have had a memory exception wipe out 2-3 hours of work. Don't get me , It's GREAT that we have the ability to do it, but it takes a LOT of clicking just to get the words to Frosty the Snowman sequenced and with it just being PART of the display and having the 32,000+ channel version, there's no way it should be throwing a memory exception. I wouldn't wait on the programming it is too much work to put off, I WOULD have a back up plan and since LSP can output vixen sequences and also with the possibility of the conductor coming out covering all bases would seem to be prudent. Well let's cross our fingers and hope for an early release, it get's late early in this hobby of ours. I will attempt doing the same kind of programming using Nutcracker to see if the process goes faster in the mean time.
