Herunterladen Luminair für Pc

I have been using app for years and it has its limitations - not as much controllability or customization capability as some pc apps, it is only one universe and definitely has some quirks - but it works! I can control my lights relatively well from my iPad and this app saves me having to use wired controller or having to bring my laptop to each show. However, I was annoyed that I had to pay full price to upgrade to the current version 3 having only purchased version 2 one year earlier and that once I did I could no longer use my iPad. I then had to purchase a newer model iPad because there was too much response latency caused by the larger bit size. Add to that the cost of the ArtNet DMX dongle and it hasn’t been a cheap set up BUT the reliability and convenience has been great.

I will admit that I am frustrated. But the app crashes about 4 or 5 times an hour. Often when you create a new sequence and forget to change it from looping to linear. It just keeps running with no chance to stop it and then eventually it crashes. I shouldn’t have to but I know how to work around it. Just change it immediately to linear or add ‘fade in’ and hold times to the scenes so you have a chance to stop it. My biggest pet peeve is that it changes the number of parameters and worse, the midi signal that is supposed to trigger a sequence or a scene at will. I spent 3 weeks creating 150 scenes for a Pink Floyd show and now that I want to trigger them via midi (I bought the add on) there is complete chaos. They know that the app had this problem for over a year and have not addressed it. I makes controlling via midi absolutely useless. Support is sketchy at best. Been waiting for about a week for a response now. Documentation is incomplete. There may be features hidden somewhere that would mitigate the issue but not all options are documented. I don’t care about $100 and then some that I wasted. I do care about 3 weeks of time and doubting myself that I did something wrong. I didn’t. I can only guess that the 4.8 stars are from people who only ply around but for professional work this is not recommended. I will make it work somehow for the show we have planned because it’s too late change the app now. But that will be the last time.

I love Luminaire 3!! It’s a fantastic product for the mobile lighting geeks. I use for weddings, birthday party's, proms, black light party’s. I am not tied to a dmx board and can walk around the room with my iPad to tweak in the lighting, and set my scenes for the moving heads. I have a master template that I have built for the Grand entrance, first dance, and dance lighting effects. It’s very inexpensive compared to the other alternatives out there. You buy the app for $99, pickup an iPad, add a decent router, add an Enntec ODE box from eBay, wireless dmx transmitter and dongles from Amazon, mount in a brief case from harbor freight tools, and you have a modern lighting control system that is still cheaper and more versatile than most of the competitors branded products. I also love that it works on all brands of devices. I have mix of DMX branded devices so this is perfect. As long as you can find a DMX map you can easily create a custom fixture profile if it’s not already in the library. You can also add your custom labels and color code it. I have seen a few instances of my moving head stuttering in linked mode when adjusting the XY position, but it seldom happens, and in all fairness I never reported this to the support team. Note: The app used to occasionally crash on my iPad 3 with low memory, but it hasn’t so far with my iPad 6 series. The only other thing it could really use is a visualizer to take it to another level. I have read on their website that it may work with 3rd party visualizers, but I don’t have a clue how to integrate the two. A few more effects or patterns designed for moving heads would be amazing. Maybe like a linked moving head pattern with a staggered delay? Bottom line is this fantastic!!! I have seen other mobile apps with Chauvet where you can use your phone, but they are proprietary and limited to just changing RGB colors.

I bought this software to allow me to control an array of Philip Hue lights for multimedia art performances. This is the only software that I’ve found that can fully automate my Hue lights, including changing the brightness and colors of the bulbs and switching between scenes, in tandem with other software that I use for music and video playback. In the future, I would like to see the developer add more features for controlling smart lights, such as the ability to store animations on the Hue bridge for smoother and faster playback; making preset animations such as fire and lightning simulation, strobing effects with speed control, etc.

app is simple and useful, because it has editable scenes with faders that can be easily changed. app has always been very buggy since the very very beginning, and that has not changed very much over the years honestly. The app still often crashes randomly, especially when saving project files, or creating a custom button icon with the camera, despite the latest iOS updates and app updates. The app also loves to suddenly set all channels to off (BLACKOUT) when first loading a saved project file, despite that it was not saved in that state. The workaround for that bug is to turn off the output in the app, load the project, then turn the output back on again. That will prevent the sudden “BLACKOUT” (for no reason) from happening. I often find this app’s simplicity frustrating, especially with the highly limited effects options available, and the inability to use those effects easily, without needing to create duplicate faders mapped to duplicate channels that have those different effects patched into them. I have found the developers have not been very willing to make suggested changes, like the ability to lock project, scene and channel editing ability with independent separate special passwords, in order to make the app more useable in a permanent install environment. Oh well... this app is better than most apps, and a sharp stick in the eye...
