ADJ Inno Spots / Moving head software help

Biased as I am (the owner is a friend of mine), Cuelux by Visual Productions is a software that let’s you do all that. The hardware consists of a USB to DMX (XLR) cable. All very simple. Works great with a touch screen, but also with a regular laptop.
You can hook up all kinds of midi controllers (I use a Korg nano that cost me about 35 euro) to have actual faders and buttons if you want that.

The price is very reasonable considering you can build pro-quality light setups with it.

Here’s the thing though. In a couple of months they will be launching cuety, an iPad based app for DMX control. It comes with an intelligent bit of hardware that is controlled wirelessly. The entire setup should cost about 200 euro (app + hardware). The good thing is you can set it up from your iPad and then let it run. Expectation is there will be an iPhone remote control with it shortly too so you can trigger things without needing the full iPad app.

There is a short news flash (with a picture) on their website. And a short blog post by Terry about the launch at the show in Frankfurt earlier this year.

Yeah, that is why I mentioned it. However, I am afraid it will only be an app (certainly in the beginning). There is no laptop version in the making.

I am an old anti-Apple guy too, but I do have an iPhone and iPad and even a MacBook Pro. Why? Because they are actually very good for the purpose. I use my MBP only for DJ-ing, nothing else. For the iDevices Apple’s strategy of keeping things very close to the chest actually adds up to a very stable result there.

Not trying to sell you on an iPad, but in our business lots of things come to iPad ages before they come to Android (if at all).

The alternative is software like you already mentioned or getting a bigger hardware controller.
