APP INSTRUCTIONS Create A New Project To create a project, tap the menu button and tap “Create a Project”. If you currently have an open project, you will have the option to copy the presets and fixtures from the current open project, or start a new project. Tapping the 3 dots next to the project name allows you to rename a project or delete it. Adding Fixtures To add fixtures to your project, tap the menu button and then “Fixtures”. To add a fixture: 1.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Addressing Features Each DMX fixture is assigned a unique number so that myDMX GO knows which fixture to send the correct information to. To address a fixture: 1. Tap the fixture in the list and look at the Start address number 2. Use the digital display on the actual fixture to set the same number. Refer to the fixture manufacturers manual on how to do this. Some fixtures use DIP switches instead of a digital display. The correct DIP switches are shown on the right.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Controlling With The Faders myDMX GO has been designed to control fixtures automatically, however you can manually override the value of a fixture’s channel. To do this: 1. Select a fixture by tapping it in the list. 2. Scroll left or right to find the fader you would like to control. Tap the desired fader to select. Once selected, the fader will turn blue. 3.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Setting Pan/Tilt Limitations The limitations grid allows you to limit and invert the pan and tilt values of a fixture or group of fixtures. There are several reasons why this is important: 1. Moving-Head lights can typically pan 360-600 degrees. For myDMX GO’s effects to look good, it’s best that they only pan no more than 180 degrees. 2. Depending on how a light is set up (or rigged), the center point is not always in the center of the stage/dance floor. 3.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Live Screen The live screen is your controller. It’s where all lighting effects are triggered. • Moves on the left, Colors on the right and flash effects in the middle. • Change the Fan/Speed/Size/Shift/Fade of the selected effect by tapping in the center of the effect wheel. • Select colors by tapping the color wheel in the bottom right. • Touch and hold one of the 50 preset buttons to store a desired preset. • Sync with the music by tapping the square button next to MOVES and COLORS.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Colors The color effects are situated to the right of the console. 8 effects are available and will be applied to all RGB/RGBW or CMY color mixing lights. Lights with fixed colors may also be used with the color effects, but they will not mix in the same way as color mixing fixtures. Choosing an Effect Tap one of the 8 segments to play an effect across your lights.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Moves Move effects are available to the left of the console and can be applied to any fixture that has Pan and Tilt channels. Before applying move effects, it is recommended to set the limitations first. Choosing an Effect As with the color effects, the move effects are triggered by tapping the 8 segment buttons. Each move effect can be adjusted using the 4 options in the center - Fan, Speed, Size and Shift.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Flash FX The 5 flash effects are in the center of the console and are only active when pressed. This allows you to create quick bursts of effects. If you want to latch the effects on, this can be done by touching a flash effect, dragging outside the button and releasing. The following effects are available from left to right: 1. Smoke - activates a smoke machine. 2. Blackout - switches off all lights. 3. WOW! - creates a build-up of strobe effects synchronized with the BPM. 4.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Strobe Tapping the strobe button will flash the lights at different speeds depending on the value of the slider. Dimmer The slider on the right controls the brightness of all lights. You can control the brightness of each fixture type, and flash the lights by tapping the Subs button. Presets The presets allow you to store a snapshot of your current show. There are 50 presets in total with 10 visible at a time.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Pulse Music pulse sync uses the microphone of the tablet to listen to the music. When the volume level jumps over a threshold, the effect will jump to the next section. The threshold is calculated automatically depending on the volume level. Sync Sync effects are designed to sync music, either with a BPM (beats per minute) to create a consistent beat-matched effect, or via the music pulse where the effects pause when the music stops. 1.
APP INSTRUCTIONS BPM - Tap Be sure the Color or Move effects are in BPM mode with the metronome icon visible. Once visible, tap the BPM with the TAP button at least 3 times. BPM - Ableton Link (iPad only) myDMX GO can sync with over 100 different apps and software using Ableton Link. This is the most accurate way to sync your lights with the music. To set up Ableton Link: 1. Ensure that the Ableton Link device and myDMX GO are on the same network. 2.
APP INSTRUCTIONS MIDI (iPad Only) The effect buttons, preset buttons, flash buttons and sub master dimmers can be controlled by MIDI. This is a bonus feature and custom mappings are not currently possible. If you have a controller such as an Elation or Behringer controller, you can normally modify the commands the controller sends (refer to the respective user manuals for further info). To control myDMX GO via MIDI, you’ll need a Lightning to USB adapter.
APP INSTRUCTIONS Other Settings The settings screen can be accessed from the myDMX GO menu. 1. Light Cloud details - The name and e-mail address of the Light Cloud account is displayed here. Light Cloud allows you to synchronize data with other apps and devices. In future this will include fixture profiles, projects and in-app purchases. 2. Automood Mode - Determines if an effect is synchronized to the BPM or pulse when Automood is activated. 3.
