Has anyone else received notification that the event is being postponed? One of our executives received a message to NIVA member organizations that included: "Out of respect for the families and communities confronting justice issues and those dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, we...

Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, WI will be participating: https://www.overture.org/

I will actually be attending again this year; arriving Wednesday evening and departing Sunday. Looking forward to catching up with folks I haven't seen or talked to since leaving my former position three years ago to actually work in theater again myself, instead of just trying to support those...

Martin's M-PC allows for four universes of DMX output for free. Pair it with third party MPCTools and I think you should be in good shape. And, here is a forum discussion regarding exactly what you are trying to do.Best, John

MyDMX is an American DJ product which uses, I believe, their own proprietary USB interface. I rather doubt that it would work with a third party software application. The only way to know for sure would be to try it out...Best, John

Take a look at MIPRO; they have self-powered speakers with optional built-in wireless mics and I suspect they would fall within that price range. Full Compass has some of the product line on their site to at least give you some price reference.Best, John

You can import SketchUp models in to Vectorworks; might be worth checking out their 3D Warehouse for whatever elements you need.Best, John

It appears to still be available here; Denis is just asking for a donation before making the download available (although a pretty quick ControlBooth search did find a post where Footer included the zip file).Best, John

Check out Palladium; it will do exactly what you want via MIDI from a PC. There is already a complete file on his web site for the M7, so set up should be very straight forward.Best, John

I suspect that the downloads were located on the Martin forums which have croaked. I know that they are working on a new forum solution, but haven't seen a definite timeline. I would suggest posting this request on the Martin M-Series Controllers or Martin Professional Facebook page for now as...

Attached is a not very organized dwg export from Vectorworks with their stock orchestra symbols. Scale should be 1:1.Best, John

I just ran upstairs to a dark theatre and tested this. Please see the attached images for a verified working set up and let me know if you have any other questions.

In the settings tab in QLab, the Q Number field is the number of the cue that you want to trigger on the ION. I normally go the other way, ION triggering QLab, so I am not sure if you need to include the Q List number or not; I would enter it just to be safe. I would probably also change the...

Can you post a picture of your ION settings and your Qlab settings? Maybe one of us can spot something that needs to be adjusted. I would also double check to make sure you have the MIDI cable patched correctly; more than once I have seen people cross-plug MIDI cables.Best, John

It might be worth posting to the M-Series Controllers User Group on Facebook; the developers are on there all the time and should be able to get you sorted quickly.Best, John
