Dmxis vst and cantabile

[Corky]

You must have skipped over these:

twaw: How heavy is the cpu load on Lightjams or DMXIS?

Robb_Fesig: The load on the PC with QLC+ is minimal, and it’s got a lot of options for automated light shows. Using Cantabile Performer, QLC+, LoopMIDI, and PizMIDI plugins, I’ve got scene changes and beat detection down pat. We’ve got a 40 “can” light show that runs itself, and compliments from our audiences on how great it is to see the lighting adding “drama” instead of just blinking randomly.

a6325435: Hi Twaw. Negligible extra load on Cantabile’s load meter (3% or less) for me when running Lightjams minimised with 23 RGB fixtures, 8 of which are moving heads.

Lightjams is standalone as are all the other programs except for DMXIS. DMXIS can operate as a VST plugin.

I run LoopMidi which creates virtual midi ports on the same PC as if they were hardware. C3 sends out to one of these ports and Lightjams listens to the same port.

Thinking of doing DMX Stage Lighting through C3 - best practice?

I’m thinking of adding a DMX controller for our 5 piece rock n roll band. Our drummer has some LED auto changing wash lights and a moving beam light which looked nice in standalone mode, but I’m sure we can make more of a show by having them coordinated to our songs. I don’t know very much about lighting yet, but from reading around, here’s what I think I want to do! Am I on the right track? Get DMXIS plugin with the USB interface and run it as a VST within a rack in C3. Questions:- Is there…
