Just ask and you shall receive:
I've created a drop box for the Light Show Pro 2.5 sequences:

The dropbox is located here:

I will upload my sequences later today into the Public folder

I have also posted a short text document to the dropbox that gives a little detail on the sequences and the music that I used to sequence to e.g.:


There will be seven sequences that I will upload to the drop box.

The sequences are all in Light Show Pro 2.5 format and consist of
about 5000 channels of RGB Flexstrips and 2 x 16 channels of the
D-Light AC16 controllers converted to DMX format.

The most time consuming part of the sequences is sequencing the singers.
The main singer is on one of the AC controllers and uses five channels that control the face.
The channels for the singer are:

Channel   Channel controlled
1.            Upper Eyes
2.            Lower Eyes
3.            Big Mouth
4.            Lower Mouth
5.            OOh Mouth


The eight  backing singers are simpler and are controlled by eight channels of LED Flexstrip
called Pumpkin 1 to Pumpkin 8.

The songs can be downloaded from iTunes / Amazon etc, the songs I used for the sequences are:

1. Ghostbusters:

I'm not planning on XMAS this year, it was 9 months of solid work to get it all working, so I need a break

There's an Etherdongle, two 16 Port Active Hubs and 25 Smart String controllers (mix of version 1 and 2), I fog machine and a three color DMX controlled Laser, and two D-Light AC16 Controllers (converted to DMX)
  <fp.

I used Light Show Pro 2.5, I did have some issues with the scheduler, but I managed to get around the bugs and issues with the S/W

I'm running the sequences every night until Halloween  :)

Did you use papagayo for the mouth sequencing or did you do it all by hand?

All done by hand, I probably have about 60 hours of work invested in programming this sequence and most of it was getting the singing sorted out  <fp.

The username he used is in a red print.  I don't think anyone can see that unless they actually log in to DIYLA.  I could be wrong.
