Open DMX USB 2010-01-04 17:11:44 David
I also vote for Open DMX USB support in miniStageConsole for Mac like Luc up there.. I was not aware that there would be such a difference in compatibility when I opted for Open DMX USB over the PRO version. The reason I chose Open DMX USB over PRO, besides lower cost, was that I do not need DMX input, only output, controlled via MIDI messages sent from Logic via virtual MIDI ports to the Open DMX USB. I would probably make a donation to support this development. What's the likelihood? Thanks.

XP Service pack 2 on desktop. XP service pack 3 on laptop. Would this make a difference?
MSC works a treat on desktop but crashes on laptop 2009-12-03 06:18:45 Jason Smith
Hi all. Am wondering if anyone can shed some light on a problem I have?? I have been working for some months now, building light shows using MSC on my desktop for my band's repertoire (around 60 songs). I am triggering MSC with midi notes from Cubase SX, which is also running backing tracks for the band. The combination of Cubase/MSC has been (and still is) running a treat on my desktop the whole time. Now that I have finished all our current songs, I have transferred all the data from desktop to laptop (which is what I use when performing), but MSC just crashes (almost immediately most of the time) on the laptop, when used in conjunction with Cubase (both programs run fine on their own). Laptop is running the same Windows XP, and the same Cubase SX. Both use Loopbe1 internal midi port. Laptop has higher specs than the desktop. It has got me stumped, and after so much work put into the light shows, I am desperate to get it sorted. Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated!
Patch Higher than 24? 2009-11-30 21:12:28 Kyle Sullivan
Hi, I love the software. We're looking to integrate this software to control lighting from within a Keynote presentation (using Applescripts and other supporting apps). One issues i'm having is that I'm getting some DMX "chatter" on channels higher than 24. It seems like random noise... I assumed that I could patch to DMX channels higher than 24. Am I correct in this or is it limited to accessing chs 1-24? Thanks in advance to whomever can help with this question.
Art-Net Support 2009-11-07 17:58:46 Chris Prezas
It would be a great addition to this controller for people who invested in art-net dmx interfaces instead of usb dmx interfaces. Thank You. Please email me if this gets added or have any questions.

MIDI Show Control 2009-10-21 10:03:05 Glenn Meader
I will be adding MSC support soon. Also separate fade and fade out times. And Art-Net support!
Handmade Universal USB-DMX Out 2009-10-01 07:47:28 Hromoy
I have developed and have made the device Universal USB-DMX Out. It works under control of two programs. Here these programs- http://www.nicolaudie.com/main.php?id_page=4 , http://www.martinpro.com/service/showpage.asp?id=4340&tit=Lightjockey2+Software. The device does not demand for work of special drivers.
Programming 2009-09-19 13:32:46 Jeff
Don't know if I'm missing something or not. When programming a cue, the output must be manually put in as a percentage in the cue list and not by adjusting the faders in the faders window? I would think that programming the cue would be accomplished by adjusting the faders to the level you want and the percentages would automatically be put in the percentage window under the cue list. Am I missing something here? Thanks.
MIDI Show Control 2009-09-15 02:13:56 Russ
I noticed that one of the MIDI configuration options available is "Go ", and I'm wondering if it would be possible to go the next step and enable a small subset of the MIDI Show Control protocol, even just a "Go" command. This has the benefit of being an industry-standard protocol and, more importantly, allows addressing cues with dots and numbers higher than 127.
Overflow Error 2009-08-02 23:28:53 Mike Wood
Was tinkering around, and changed the number of faders to 512 just for kicks. It gave me an overflow error, which is understandable - but then it crashed the program and whenever I try to open it back up, it just says overflow error and won't load since it loads the last settings. Deleted the program, reinstalled it, same problem.
Patchbay 2009-07-18 07:26:42 Nils Johansson
Hello Glenn! I use miniStageConsole with the Enttec DMX USB pro. My Yamaha DM1000 mixer serves well as a MIDI control surface. Sometimes I wish to control other DMX addresses than 1 - 24 when I hook up to stationary light rigs in venues I come to. Also it's annoying to sometimes occupy seven faders for each LED can when four is enough. I request the ability to chose the DMX address of each of the 24 miniStageConsole faders.
DMX USB PRO 2009-07-05 13:18:24 James Adling
I had to upgrade my DMX USB PRO version to 1.44 before it would work with the DMX WEB software and Stage console software. I am Running Windows XP. It looked as if the CPU was sending out the DMX but with my DMXter I couldn't get anything out of the USB unit. I highly suggest using a DMXter to figure out your connections. If you can't afford a DMXter a MicroTech DMX unit will do the Job also for less money.
Open DMX USB 2009-06-27 17:08:39 Luc
Could you PLEASE get Open DMX USB to work on miniStageConsole for Mac. P.S. And Open DMX USB on DMXweb would be nice to. :)
Features coming 2009-05-06 00:46:08 Glenn Meader
Stop button is coming soon. Split fades later. Also Loop to create chases and Independent to designate channels that do not crossfade and do not respond to GM. Perhaps submasters.
Got It! 2009-04-30 22:27:02 BoilerBear
Well, you were right - I installed the updated firmware and the system recognizes the dmx system perfectly. I just completed You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown and it worked perfectly - Thanks so much!
Stop button needed 2009-04-28 19:03:08 micros
There really needs to be a way of aborting a cue once started
getting it to work 2009-04-24 21:20:53 Charles Belcher
Boiler Bear typed this: "Hi Gang - I've correctly installed the dmx usb pro drivers and its utility software can control the lights, however, I have had no luck getting miniStageConsol to take control. I've configured it (it's on com 4) and the test gives me a firmware version of 1.42. I don't know what to try next. Any suggestions?" I am at the same exact point. The entecc utility controls the lights, but this program does not. I have XP PRO. Any help?
Control problem 2009-04-24 06:45:40 WJK
Having exactly the same problem . Same configuration. Firmware Version 1.44 on the USB DMX PRO. No control output. (Same COM 4 Port) Anyone have any ideas?
Stumped! (Additional Info) 2009-04-06 13:53:39 BoilerBear
Sorry - a little more info is needed. Running Windows XP Pro. The LED indicator does blink at a steady rate on the usb dmx pro. It recognized that software is present, I simply can't get any control.

Open DMX USB 2009-04-06 05:19:28 Stefano
Hello, try DMXweb, it is a very good software but, there is a way to use it with Open DMX USB (not Pro version) ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.... Stefano
Suggestion 2009-03-24 17:55:47 marf41
I have to admit, this it is the best. But, if it is possible, I would like to see an option to define keyboard keys, at least for 'GO' command. Also, it would be nice when they will be working without focus on 'Run console' window. Cheers.
Features wanted 2009-02-11 11:40:38 Moon
I like the way the interface looks in the mini stage console, it's just missing one feature that I'd really like to see: SPLIT TIMED FADES! For example, a cue could have a time of 2/5 (2 seconds lights up, 5 seconds lights down).

miniStageConsole crashes when using midi in function with Ableton live. Does anybody know this bug. I'm using an intel mac mini with Mac OS 10.5.
