Actually we wanted to answer your questions about the use cases and other questions around how to use DMXControl 3 in the context of a live Q&A already on 09.03.2019. Unfortunately, we had to cancel this appointment at short notice due to illness. But now the catch-up date is fixed!

We are sure you've been waiting a long time for this news: DMXControl 3.2 has left alpha status and started beta testing!

Why it is a good idea to note the exact version number inside the DDF file? You can read the answer in this edition of "Did you know?".

Unfortunately we have to postpone the livestream planned for tonight because one of our moderators has a severe cold and is therefore not able to talk about DMXControl 3 for the length of a livestream. We will look for an alternative date in the next days and inform you then in form of a separate news posting. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Today we remind you about our livestream and hope you will send us some more questions about DMXControl 3.1.3.

This year we are planning something special for you at our DMXControl Convention 2019 at the HTW in Berlin, Germany: On 2019/06/01 there will be an open day (free admission), to which we would like to invite you cordially. Among other things, we are planning various workshops and light shows. It's also a good opportunity to see us all live and in color.

The last time before the farewell of the cantors in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany they once again brought a musical with one of their children's and youth choirs on stage. Of course also on board: DMXControl 3.

The date for our annual meeting has been fixed for a long time. Now we also tell you where we want to celebrate the tenth anniversary of DMXControl Projects together with you.

We present: The new Wiki of DMXControl Projects e. V.

Last Saturday we had a little discussion with the beta testers. Find out more in this news.

Since our Christmas livestream already some weeks have passed. Today we want to give you a further update what has happened in the meantime in developing DMXControl 3.2.

We're doing maintenance on our wiki tomorrow, Saturday. The time scope of the maintenance work is not yet foreseeable. Therefore both, the German and the English wiki will be not available on 2019/01/19 from 0:00am to 11:59pm. We will inform you as soon as the maintenance work has been completed and when the wikis are available again.

In this information we explain why we do not have a direct support via e-mail or personal message and why we instead refer to the public part of our forum.

In our last Live@Work we spoke of a project, in which the Cue Timing Editor played an important role. Which role this was and what you can create when using the Cue Timing Editor, we will explain it in this "Did you know?" post.

The regular news in the new year start with a Live@Work from the end of last year. Learn all about a lightshow in a church on Christmas Eve.

Dear DMXControl Community,

We as an association look back on an exciting and busy year 2018 and are looking forward to a hopefully equally interesting year 2019. In 2018 we experienced many things and tried out some new ones. I spontaneously think of our live streams, which we have established as an additional way to communicate with you. For 2019, the release of DMXControl 3.2 with many new functions is coming up and we are working hard to get it ready. We are very curious about how you will…

We already promised: DMXControl 3. 1. 3 will be released this year. Today is the day!

Since version 3.1.2, DMXControl 3 listens to a very specific environment variable, which you can create yourself under Windows. In this Did you know? edition we tell you what this environment variable is all about and who might be thinking about the setup.
