Hi list !
I am looking for a way to control 3 lights (red, green and blue) with Pd. I first thought of using variable resistances with the spots, but then I thought a digital lighting console could do the job better and easier.
Did someone have a succesful experience with this ? Is it the best way to do it ? If not, what else should I use. And if so, do I need an external or an other software to control the console ?
just some hint dropping:
The light protocol is called DMX, its the Midi in the light world. There are USB/DMX adapters out so I guess google is your friend.
on the otherhand there are also light consoles which also takes Midi/in so you can control lights direct or by program/change settings. That is the easier way I guess because it doesn't include a possible DMX / external of which I dont know if it exists.
