Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I'm still curious as to know what the NEW License is going to be called, we have BASIC, BASIC+, and ADVANCED (is there one between BASIC+ and ADVANCED? I don't recall.)So what's it going to be:"SUPER ADVANCED" due to the addition of the Super Star software or will we now have an ADVANCED+ license?Inquisitive minds want to know.....

Alan C Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The "Superstar" software was a separate package developed by one of the forum members for sequencing multiple CCRs (Cosmic Colour Ribbons). Dan has effectively bought the rights to the software, and employed the author too. This software is due to be merged with the "generation 2" LOR software known as S2, to become S3.When the software licenses were introduced in one of the versions of S2 a while back, there was a comment that those that had purchased S2 software would probably not need to buy a new license for the upgrades until S3 was released. S3 has other options too, including the ability to run Ethernet networks. There was a thread on it a while ago.Regards,Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished I was so lucky!You too...JeffOkay, that means I was suckered twice. I just remembered reading something similar in the beta group:"The new version has some very nice features. I can't say what they are until it's released but you'll like them.No one will be disappointed for sure."I will add Mountainwxman to the boy who cried Santa list! hahaSo the wait continues....Never believe anything I say unless you already know the truth or have researched and found it to be the truth.

KenL_MCSE Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I am starting to think this thread is a ping pong.I've seen hijacked threads. I've seen threads that bounce off topic and bounce back. This thread has bounced off and back so many times, it has become a ping pong thread.My offical weather forcast is this thread is it will bounce off topic 3 more times before someone asks what is up with the s3 release.So does anyone know about the S4 release? I hear it is going to stop the ice over your house so you can run your display in any weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm sorry, I'm awaiting the release of S9, it will have 6 times the power of S3.Some of S9's features:Will have an "automatic sequence generator" that will automatically sequence any song you have, in any format and place all lighting effects in the desired channel or tracks and at the correct beat locations.Multi beats can be done at once in seperate channels or tracks and will work with the "automatic sequence generator" so no more fumbling with doing one track or channel at a time.Will automatically sequence CCR's, CCF's, CCB's and RBF's. As well as any other RGB or RGBW lighting device.Will ALLOW any lighting effect, blink, shimmer, fade up, fade down in the automatic sequencer generator.Will allow you to verbally communicate with the softare to tell it EXACTLY how you want your display elements set up, it also works with defining your channel button text.Animation window display will now display lights exactly as you would see them, and now allows overlapping colors for those special light strings you create for your dsplays using several strings of single color lights.Animation window can draw your display by voice commands as well, just tell it what you want and it'll draw it up for you.Animation window will now allow smooth circle(360 degree view) commands for those Mega Trees and other items that are circular in nature that are in yur displays.And if you can find the secret word, the new S9 software will spit out a special little helper to completely build your display for you while you're occupied with family, work or other things you need to do. You will have to specify what Holiday or you may get Halloween at Christmas.Or you can still do it all manually, it'll be your choice.So what's up with S9?

KenL_MCSE Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yup Geek and Nerdy,That is the part that makes it funny on the 'outside'.And as for the S9 release, I was thinking for of a holographic room, kind of like they had on Star Trek Next Generation.

jimswinder Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Why not just hold out for S10...where we will just hand out "virtual glasses" and they can "view" our displays directly from a feed from our computers...no display set-upno display take downno worries about weatherno worries about squirrels chewing SPT2 wireno worries about winds toppling your mega treeno worries about neighbors complaining about the noiseand probably not a whole lot of fun...*sigh*... progress...

In S10 you will also be able to program to change your display setup on the fly (move your lights to different parts of your yard based on the music playing). HOWEVER, it will only run on Windows 13 which will require you to reboot no less than three times during a 30 minute show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
