Not good. My Old songs that I have do not match up to the channel configurations. Too many songs reedited over the years. I am right now copy and pasting line by line in my old songs. Then I will look at building a show in sequencer! I am exhausted, but with over 50 "Make a Wish" kids coming to see Santa I have no choice but to plug on!

Hey bud how you making out ?

You still need the LOR config tool to setup the DMX channel start addresses for each LOR controller which jump in groups of 16, so controller 1 would have a DMX starting address of 1, controller 2 would have a DMX starting address of 17, controller 3 would have a starting address of 33 and so on. So you must ensure that the starting address of any LOR controller starts with any increment of 16.

Take note that very early versions of the LOR controllers may not support DMX, but the last 3 years i know they have. There used to be a document on DMX support website for DMX but it appears LOR have removed any reference to running LOR controllers in DMX. It may pay to have a post in the LOR forums asking what is the supported controllers if you have controllers more than 3 years old.

I hope that helps

All you require to run in DMX is an adaptor cable, for me i just made up the cables by cutting the cat5 cable and rejoining the correct wires.

You only need an adaptor cable when you connect a LOR controller to a DMX device and a DMX device to a LOR controller so in between the LOR controllers its just the same cable that you would normally use.

The cable adaptor is as below:

Orange/White (1) – Blue (4)
Orange (2) – Blue/White (5)
Blue (4) – Orange White (1)
Blue/White (5) – Orange (2)
