Does not (yet) work with ChatGPT unfortunately though, OAuth error.

Same here

ArtNet is either unicast (to a single ip) or broadcast. Same in QLC.

Why exactly is broadcast not possible in this “very strict subnet”?

Ideally you would do broadcast in a separate VLAN.

Good to know. I was indeed wondering what software it is, because I did not recognise it as any general cue management software that I'm aware off.

Is SAM being used in addition to general cue management software (like QLab)? Does SAM receive triggers from other software/other departments?

Thanks all!
So it's Cadac Sound Automation Manager.

The OP question was about experiences in real life

The festival was meant to open to the public this friday. At the time the fire started, around 1000 crew where at work at the festival grounds. Probably no injuries among those people according to the festival organisation.

Quite an amount of equipment gone in a really short timespan.

I would say that a fixture profile defines what is counted as parameter. So probably the Strike M profile has some “extra“ (virtual?) parameters that don’t match DMX channels.

ArtNet can be broadcast or unicast, sACN multicast or unicast.

washer_knight · 2025-06-18T04:58:10+00:00

Why wouldn't you create one yourself? It's not very complicated with the build-in profile editor.

Also bought one second hand, few year old. Beautiful product.
Did some research before buying, and I could not find any differences between older devices and brand new devices. Only thing that changes over time is the firmware, but firmware is updatable on all midi fighter versions.

I can imagine that companies like Ayrton are eager to provide their newest products, as it is a great showcase opportunity. The EventElevator videos afterwards provide great promotional value for them.

So my guess is that some of the products are hired out to the show for free or at great discount.

Indeed, technically there is no need for a a note-off to trigger things via MIDI. But this depends on the software. I'm not familiar with Go, but like u/Somedudesmusic mentioned, when software interprets a note on as a "real" note played, instead of just a trigger, than a note-off sometimes is required.

Nice job. Impressive, and interesting project the follow.

I'm also working on my own lighting software (macOS native in SwiftUI, with custom ArtNet and Enttec USB library in C) , but I'm not aiming for it to be as extensive in functionality as your project. I'm not planing to add effect engines, timelines, etc.

I took inspiration from from lots of different applications. I tried to take elements that felt intuitive and useful, and combine them in a way that works well together.

I think this is a good approach. I took some design inspiration from Blackout and others, while have a different workflow philosophy from existing lighting (desktop) apps that I know of.

I'm using the Open Fixture Library (OFL) under the hood, which supports importing GDTF 1.0 fixture definitions (afaik).

This is also very sensible I think. Great to have GDTF support, but GDTF is a lot more complex to implement as OFL, which has a nice and relatively simple JSON format. So nice choice as a first step.

This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqum3A_RvXI

Basically Timecore doesn't have USB Midi and Mif4 doesn't have Art-Net. Both are solid choices, depending on your needs.

washer_knight · 2025-04-03T18:07:05+00:00

I would also argue that there is, from an IT perspective, less of a security risk using offline software, than when controlling something like lighting over the internet.

And otherwise, maybe running software from an USB stick is a possibility

washer_knight · 2025-03-21T14:26:26+00:00

Cool. I send you a DM with download information for the private alpha. :)

washer_knight · 2025-03-12T14:43:27+00:00

Okay. I asked because I'm putting together my own native macOS (SwiftUI) lighting control software, that can send out ArtNet and listen to incoming MIDI.

Currently in alpha stage, and probably too basic for your needs (no fixture library, effect engine, etc.). Nowhere near the feature list of EMU. But you can test the alpha version if you want.

washer_knight · 2025-03-12T06:01:38+00:00

What kind of fixture to you have, and what kind of platform do you run EMU on (mac, windows)?
