Forum: view and post comments hereBackA simple 24 channel memory light board with unlimited cue memory and manual or auto timed cross fades. It includes a command-line keyboard interface that uses commands similar to popular lighting consoles (ETC Express). This software is designed for conventional theatrical lighting. It works in a way that is easy to understand for a person who does theatrical lighting. It does not have features for moving lights, fancy chasing and nightclub-style control.
This software supports MIDI input so that you may optionally use a MIDI control surface such as the Korg nanoKONTROL ($59) or Behringer BCF2000 ($179) to move faders and press buttons, or use show control programs such as QLab to command miniStageConsole. Please let me know how this works for you.
I wrote this software in RealBasic The cues for a show are stored in a simple text file that you can edit with a text editor and print out. I intend to post updates periodically. Works only with the Enttec USB DMX Pro ($135) for greater reliability and smoother operation.
Versions now avaliable for Mac OSX i386, PowerPC and Windows.I have found the miniStageConsole to be by far the easiest to use software console for Mac -- Ron Rocco

If you have trouble getting miniStageConsole to work, please test your installation of your Enttec DMX interface using the example software downloadable from the enttec.com website. For Windows, download: DMXUSBPro Utility
