So is there anyway to make SmartStrings work with Madrix?
Is LSP and Vixen the only option for controlling them?
-
I guess when RJ releases the plugin that it could be added to Madrix if that is possible with that program.

Well the support standard DMX512 and Art-Net, but they're a big, fancy commercial product and I doubt they'll add custom DMX variants for output.

Not at the moment but do not rule it out.

I sure hope Madrix can eventually work with this. There is vendor offering a special $400 deal on Madrix ... and $325 if you buy a light tube.

better read the fine print. That version of Madrix only supports 1 universe of DMX. I.e. only 512 channels or 170 pixels....
The versions of Madrix for us Smart string users with anything beyond a modest number of nodes is in the 2k+ range <md..
way more than I am willing to spend myself.

Yeah, I was aware of that ... good point ... so your right, its not the deal it appears to be.
-
Does Madrix know or care about the HUGE increase in sales they could have if they lowered their price?
Their $6000 (USD) price tag is probably fine for DJs working on a contract, but I can't justify even 10% of that cost.

Nor will I spend it for it. But the truth is while I could put together a great looking demo with it and impress everyone with my megatree, It does not appear to be designed to really do the kind of seqencing we do for our shows. I am a extreme rookie with it but it just seems to be gear to be a super color organ with the ability to hand control lights at certain points in the show. Like you would in a nightclub.
Do not go based on this as I said I barely can get it to run lights and am probly wrong. I just wanted to test it with the Ether Dongle because Madrix is commerical software and if it would work with their software then I know it will work with anything on the same protocols.
