MyDMX 3: BPM and Pulse and even MIDI Time Code Trigger!

In this video I take a quick look at how you can use the Pulse and Tap Tempo BPM to play effects.

Hey James. I'm a drummer for several bands and I often run our light show. I'm new to the DMX control world and I currently use a standard DMX board, but I've already outgrown it. Right now I will either select a specific scene for a song or switch a bank of 8 scenes to music mode light fixture changes. With that said, I'm looking to upgrade to the MYDMX 3.0 with the 3D visualizer software. Is there a way to switch scenes by striking an electronic drum pad? Or, for example, strike the pad - scene on. Strike it again - scene off. I also have a Roland SPD-SX sampling unit that comes with 9 individual pads that I've seen people connect lights to. How I saw it used was each pad caused a set of lets to change color or movement. I'd ne more interested in usually it like a controller to switch scenes. Go to blackout, etc. I scoured Youtube for any headway on this, but didn't come upo with anything. Any help here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey James, so I recently purchase MyDMX3.0 and it looks great. I was able to patch my Light fixture but when trying to run the 3D Visualizer my Robe ColorSpot 250AT and Robe Spot 150 XT wont show up on the 3D View... MY Elation PowerSpot 250 show up and work perfectly with the exception that instead of a white beam i get a blue beam ...but non the less it shows up on the 3D... any help will be great ...Thanks


Ps; on MYDMX2.1 3D visualizer I was able to see all my light fixtures with out problem..

For the midi clock how does that work exactly?

When I go to the audio input on my DMX interface it shows "none" and "none" is the only option.
How can I get my laptop microphone to show up in myDMX3.0

PLEASE HELP

Hi James,
BPM in "Audio" is a useful feature but looks like it is not doing the right job.

Used pretty simple setup:
- running MyDmx 3.0 software w/o MyDmx hardware, just looking at BPM counter,
- Playing various clips on the same PC or NOT playing anything,
- Internal microphone is ON.

Here are the problems:
1) When no music is playing on a PC, the counter normally shows 0 bpm but sometimes it is stuck, for quite a long time, at EXACTLY 132 bpm (and rarely at 148 BPM). Clicking "Reset" does not help; the counter would to go back to 0 bpm randomly on its own, whenever it decides so;

2) When a clip with a known BPM rate is playing on PC, the MyDmx's BPM counter readings are all over the place. It can read 175 BPM for a 60 BPM clip, or, vice versa, it can read 120 BPM for a 150 BPM clip;

3) No matter what's playing on PC, the BPM meter readings are NEVER below 100 BPM.

Your video partially confirms the problem (at least #3).

I put the same question on ADJ forum but got now response so far.

Does Mydmx 3 work with Logic Pro X? I found a video showing how to program a light show using mydmx 2 with logic, but no one seems to know how to do it with mydmx 3.0.

How can I contact you offline for questions

James can you put BPM tap on live tab to show on Remote ??

It doesn't support Don't mislead other people, it works with midi clock. These are two different signals.
