Is this DMX software or a complete DMX solution?

Does it allow for intelligent fixtures other than dimmer packs?

Please post some more info as I was a bit dubios about installing the softare

Sorry, but I was absent.

1.SoundGraffitiDimmer - software for processing sound. Output - data for channels DMX.
2. Connection computer with DMX device may be only through DMX dongle devices (device which connect to parallel port or USB or serial port - output DMX signals),
Computer can't make DMX signals without additional devices.
All other programs - only for coordination SoundGraffitiDimmer with any DMX dongle devices.

A DMX dongle device is producing several companies. If you have DMX dongle devices from SOUNDLIGHT or Artistic Licence, you can use programs D6USBPCM_SG.exe or FaderPanel_SG.exe. Install for SOUNDLIGHT or Artistic Licence - on their sites.
(Test SOUNDLIGHT - not full, test Artistic Licence -full).

For install demo (without DMX) - run SoundGraffitiDimmer.exe only.

I programmer, and may be I miss obvious things. Ask me.

This program only for dimmers. In the future programs - for scanners and lasers.

Don't take this the wron way, but

I downloaded soundgraffitidimmer and could'nt make head nor tail about what was going on, I got something that looked like a grid came up that had squares that change colour, is this right or am i doing something wrong?


As your a programmer I've got a little problem that maybe you could solve for me if it's OK with you?

I need to develop a program (preferably in VB6) that gives keystrokes to another program, basically i've got a bit of software running that reacts to keyboard keystrokes like hitting the 'a' 'b' 'c' key's. I want to automate this with some timers to save me from so much key tapping, I know there's a way to do it but I just can tfind it.

Thanks & good luck with your software

1.Main idea of soundgraffiti - to make light depending from music.
Many programs do it. But these programs basically pick out rhythm.
SoundGraffiti pick out melody.

'grid came up that had squares that change colour' - this example for Dance floor, may be unsuccessful.

2, VB6, Maybe this?

But If I made this - then on C++ and other way .

I wish good luck to you
