We proudly present: The release of DMXControl 3.3.3!


On September 29, 2026, we held our release show for DMXControl 3.3.3. During our usual “hour-long” session, we showed you all the new features in this version and what it now has to offer.
Read all about it in the corresponding news article: We proudly present: The release of DMXControl 3.3.3!


  • Hello!
    When I write DDF's I have to use "stobo" as key word (?).. Any chance to get "strobe" to work too?

    Not a big deal, if you happen to see it in the code while scrolling through it.


    Also, any chance of "ColorIndex" and "ColorRotation" like GoboIndex and "GoboRotation"? I added it but nothing appear in Properties.


    Many thanks!

  • Hi,
    in the tutorial-article 20 in our wiki, there is a list of all supported properties with some examplecode as well. If some properties not appear, there are faults in it. But you can find them by checking the internal logsystem of DMXControl. There should be an entry if there is a fault.

  • OK, I see the problem: the wiki says all times in german and english part to use <strobe>, but the DDFs contains only <strobo> (a little bit to german, I think). The Developers must decide, which one they want to use and then we can correct either the wiki or the DDFs.
    If we get no response here, I will fill a bugreport the next days. This decision should be done before any final release.

    best regards,

  • Hi,
    my comment about the log-system of DMXC was not for the "strobo"/"strobe"-problem. It is a solution for the "Goboindex"-problem ;). What I ment was, that DMXC 3 have a log-system where DMXC logs all internal errors include DDF-open errors. There could be some information about why there is no Colorwheel-entry in the property grid.

  • The next version will support "strobe". However "strobo" will still be supported, because removing this would massively break user experience. I added a warning that this may be removed in future versions.
