I Before We Start

Welcome to myDMX 2.0- a powerful and easy to use DMX lighting control app for PC and Mac. This

manual will guide you through using the software. For a quick overview of the software jump straight to

the Getting Started topics.

1. What's New to myDMX 2.0

myDMX 2.0 has been re-built from the ground up. Here we will give an overview of the most important

new features.

We have been asked to develop a Mac version of the software for many years. myDMX 2.0 is now PC

and Mac compatible.

The software features a new design, which includes new icons, faders, colors and preset components

allowing for a quicker and more pleasant workflow. Quickly jump to a color or position with the new

popup preset components and change the scene color on the User screen.

The Scene Builder

The Scene Builder allows you to do everything you used to do with the original Effects Generator and

more. Arrange lighting fixtures, draw effects directly onto fixtures and set your effects in real-time.

The ‘Linear Fan’ effect allows you to create color gradients and position fans.

SSL2 Fixture Profile Format

SSL2 fixture profiles allow more information to be stored about the personality of a lighting fixture.

This allows for quicker and easier programming. For example, if you have an LED bar with several

segments, you can control each segment individually whilst still having global control of master

dimmer and macro channels.

3. Fixture Profiles

All of the attributes of a DMX device are saved in a special file called the “Fixture Profile” or .SSL2 file.

The more accurate the fixture profile, the easier it will be to program your lighting with myDMX 2.0.

If you have an incomplete fixture profile, myDMX 2.0 will not understand the lights you want to control

and therefore it will be more difficult for you to program your lighting fixtures.

There is a profile for almost every fixture on the market. Fixture profiles can be created and edited with

the "Scan Library" editor software. For more details on how to make Scan Library profiles, see the Scan

Library topic.

myDMX 2.0 II Getting Started

II Getting Started

1. Installation

Insert the software installation CD into the CD drive of your computer, or download the software from

our website. Double click the setup icon to install the software. Follow the installer instructions.

The USB interface drivers will be installed during the software installation. When installing on Windows,

you may receive a warning message saying that the drivers have not been digitally signed. Press

‘Continue Anyway’.

Once the installation is complete, connect the USB interface. Windows systems will run a second

device driver installation. Once you see a message bubble on the taskbar to say that the driver has

been installed successfully, you are ready to start the myDMX 2.0 software.

2. Setup

To begin with, the software needs to be told which lighting fixtures are being used. Select your lighting

fixture from the list of manufacturers on the left. If you are looking to add an RGB, RGBD, RGBW, RGBY

or Single channel fixture, select the _GENERIC folder at the top. If you do not see your lighting fixture

in the list, you will need to make it yourself using the Scan Library editor (PC only), or contact us and we

will build the profile for you.

To add your lighting fixture, drag and drop it onto the DMX patch table, or select the number of fixtures

and starting channel in the bottom left and select patch. Fixtures can be moved within the DMX patch

by dragging and dropping.

If you are looking to add a matrix of lighting fixtures such as an RGB wall or dancefloor, patch the total

number of lighting fixtures here and refer to the 'Arranging Fixtures' topic for more information.

myDMX 2.0 II Getting Started

Addressing your Lighting Fixture

Each lighting fixture must be given a unique number or “Address”. The address is normally set via an

LED display or Dip Switches on the actual lighting fixture. Hover over a fixture to know the address and

click the fixture to see the dip switches required to set this address. For example, this lighting fixture is

set to address 22.

For more information on setting the address on a lighting fixture, refer to the fixture manufacturers

manual.

List View

To change individual fixture properties, select ‘List View’.

The following options are available:

Shortcut- To control the selected channel with the mouse, select a keyboard shortcut here

Fade- Enables and disables fading of the channel. For example, you may wish to ignore all fade

commands on a gobo channel

Dimmer- Defines a dimmer channel (when the dimmer % value of a step is changed, this channel will

Page 7

be changed)

Invert X- Inverts the X channel, so when the fader is at 0, the software will output 255

Invert Y- Inverts the Y channel, so when the fader is at 0, the software will output 255

X/Y- Swaps the X and Y channels

3. Editor

Controlling Channels

The editor is where all lighting programming is made. Drag a fader with the mouse to change the value.

To change the value of the same channel type on every fixture, hold shift. For example, to change the

color of every fixture, hold shift and move the color fader. Notice that the DMX output value is displayed

at the top of the fader.

myDMX 2.0 features a range of preset components to help you to quickly adjust a channel. To access

the component, click at the top of the channel where the preset/color is displayed. For example, clicking

at the top of a color channel shows a color wheel.

Clicking on the cursor will allow you to drag it around the color wheel. Notice that the RGB values are

shown. Clicking on the color wheel and dragging up with the mouse will move the cursor clockwise,

dragging down will move the cursor anti clockwise.

With the XY grid, clicking on the center point will allow you to quickly set an XY position. Clicking on a

blank space in the grid will allow you to slowly move the position.
