Re: Channel Not Working

From memory, these ADJ units come with several DMX modes. Are you sure the profile is set correctly for the mode you are operating? If unsure, and you think its in basic mode then try incrementing the DMX address in the system by a and try again. All the channels should move by 1.

So if it's RGB ...

Re: Does ShowXpress need to be in the foreground? [done]

I will set it up again here and look at the USB issue but not sure if it's solvable. Unfortunately the laptop has a single USB-A that the mixer has to be attached to as the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver demands a unique port. There are two USB C ports but one of those is the charge port and the laptop ...

Re: Does ShowXpress need to be in the foreground? [done]

Does ShowXpress need to be in the foreground? [done]

I have installed ShowXpress on the same laptop as the sound (a mixture of Mixxx and SCS), and have an Akai APC midi controller configured ...

Re: Chauvet XPress 512 with QLab 5

Set up your light show in Showxpress. Then use Qlab to send MIDI codes to match those you have set up as triggers against buttons in Showxpress. In the Live tab. Under Editor there are three horizontal lines. Click that for button settings. You can do the same in Sequential list and it's the ...
