How do I make my lights change in time with the

music?

There are a couple of ways to do this. The easiest way is

to active a “sound activated” setting on your lights, if

your lights have this feature. This can be done by

sending a DMX512 command to the lights. See your

lights’ DMX512 description table to see if your lights

support this.

Another way is to use a DMX512 controllable chase

controller.

Another way is to program the lights scene by scene in

the lightshow editor. The chase feature makes it easy to

create lightshows that are in time with the audio by

inserting scenes every time that the spacebar on the

keyboard is pressed. Simply tap the spacebar in time

with the playing audio.

I made a new device ﬁle, but it does not show up in

the popup menu on the lightshow editor window.

How can I make it appear?

Only those devices that are in your device library folder

will show up in the menu, and then only if their ﬁlename

ends with “.dmx”. You many change the location of the

device library folder in the preferences pane. See

Chapter 20.
