For using the DMX features of the ShowNET interface, it is necessary to connect the
DMX-Adapter to the ILDA line. The DMX Adapter can be purchased through
Laserworld or their distribution partners.
2.5.5. MIDI Settings
Each installed MIDI-port on the PC should be automatically recognized by
Laserworld Showeditor, including virtual ones. MIDI can be used to control the Live
Window, the Timeline as well as the playlist. It is especially useful for recording a show
in the timeline window, e.g. can figures be assigned by “playing” on a MIDI
keyboard.
MIDI ports must be assigned manually before they can be used.
Laserworld offers several MIDI presets for a selection of MIDI devices; those
configurations can be downloaded in the download section on
http://www.showeditor.com
A MIDI-port can be selected at OptionsMIDI-DMX-Printer (Fig.6), then “Change”.
A dialog for selecting the desired MIDI-port opens. Only the MIDI-IN-port is used! In
many cases the MIDI routing must be adapted to the very device in use.
Routing of Hardware-Output 2.6.
The routing of the hardware output is very simple but nevertheless incredibly flexible
and powerful. Up to sixteen different interfaces can be assigned.
The routing allows for a matrix setup:
Each single route transmits the data-stream of the four sequencer-pages (A, B, C and
D with each 3 figure-tracks and their effect-sub-tracks) of the timeline editor to the
assigned DAC interface (Fig.7 and 8).
