Will Olive be Free or Pay for Use?
shaunkad:
Sorry,
I do have an issue with the fee. You want us to alpha and bea test and feed you input but when we are finaly happy with the program you want to charge us a (small) fee to use it. That <md..
PVPlaceLights:
Thank you to everyone for your perspectives on this topic. I feel fortunate that the DLA community exists and there are plenty of members who are excited about the possibility for a new blink/flashy tool. The concepts in my head and the suggestions coming in are much faster than I can code them. But, I have a good feeling that Olive will become a reality.
I'm hoping that, in the end, we will all get something we're happy with.

Hey, I"m excited to see how olive progresses.
I can only imagine the coding effort this would be.
My advice would be:
- focus on being good at the 101 basic of sequencing
- focus on wide hardware support (esp. DIY, LOR)
- focus on RGB support
- would be nice to enable grouping of display items
and then be able to sequence to that group at various
levels ... which become very useful on larger RGB objects
- support display configurations which can be easily applied
to sequence files to make yearly show reconfigurations easier.
Ideally, it would be nice to know that you could change your
setup xref one place and then know all your sequences would
still work. Or that if you added new hardware ... or re-arranged
hardware ... that there is a way to adapt without changing at
the sequence level.
- remember it must be FAST, even on machines a year or two old
- remember it must be RELIABLE, or nobody will use it
- remember it should be INTUITIVE ... if you highlight a range on the
screen, then thats the area your operating on.
- be smart about intervals and cut and pasting ... storing off patterns
would be nice, so that you could paste in already sequenced tricks
into any song.

What taybrynn said... <la..
I at this point refuse to use anything but LOR. It would have to be better, and then I would gladly pay for it.
