I help out some local schools with their musicals and this is the only software I have found that is set up perfectly for theater. After programming the scenes I can sit a student at the computer, give them a script, and all they have to do is press the space bar when the script tells them to. It's easy to program scenes, easy to control, and doesn't have a million flashy DJ features, that you would never need in a theater environment, that all other DMX software I have tried out has. It's not as limited as it seems on the surface either. You can stack multiple DMX channels on each fader using the Edit Channel Map and control more than just 48 channels. There are several manufacturers making USB to DMX interfaces that work with this software, the cable I'm using now is just 18 dollars. It doesn't need much processing power so you can repurposes that old machine in the back of your closet into a DMX controller. Together with this free software computer controlled DMX lighting has become extremely affordable.

I'm a lighting designer for a small theater in NJ. We've finally switched over to DMX and found this program when buying the Entec dongle. It's just what we were looking for in terms of simplicity and function. If anyone has written any updates to the program, please contact me as I'd sure love to have any new functions you may provide! Thanks very much!

This is the best first introduction to PC control of stage lighting for the small theatre that I have found. Its the sort of porogram I've been trying, for years, to find the time to write myself. Thank you Terry for saving me hours of time. It does just what is needed without being too complicated.

Great little program - actually does what it says with the ENTTEC Open DMX USB dongle. I've come here after hours of trying with more complex programs! Simple to set up, learn and use, but actually it is a much more powerful application than it initially appears, now I have had time to work with it. I've written some new instructions for it if anyone is interested.
