Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I know the "April" sale is now in May. Do we know when LOR II software will be released? Want to make sure I buy LOR I before to get the free upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I do not have the date but I do promise to let everyone know a couple of weeks ahead of time so that they have time to get LOR I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks Dan. As always, I (we) appreciate it! I just wanted to make sure I did not miss any software announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 This is a question for Dan (of LOR). What OS is LOR II going to require? An old PC has been donated to the cause of a more joyous Christmas. I'm cleaning it up and it only has Window 98 SE2 on it. Will that be enough, or do I need to upgrade the OS?Thanks,Ken Mays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Thanks for the speedy response Dan. I kept looking around and found your response about requirements on April 4th on the 'LOR in 2006' thread:timj wrote: What are the minimum system requirements to efficiently run the LOR software (and the LOR II software) ?400 MHz or faster CPUWindows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP20 MB free disk space + room for Audio and Sequence files128 MB RAMOne serial port or a USB to serial port adapter (adapter is available from LOR)Holds true for ( LOR II ).The PC I'm cleaning up is a 1 GHz Pentium III with 320MB and a (soon to be cleaned off) 20 GB drive. Has USB too so looks like I'm set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I know 400 Mhz is the minimum requirement but will that run smoothly? I'm planning on using an old tower for a dedicated running machine. It's 400mhz with like 380 ram or so. Will that work smoothly and efficiently with LOR II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For editing sequences it will be a bit slow but it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Alright, sounds good. I will be using the machine to solely run shows. I'll be editing sequences on a faster laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just to let you know, I run mine on a PII 266 MH and it runs fine. I have not had any problems for almost 3 years now.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 We've been using a PII 350 PC and it can get a little glitchy. It tends to cut off parts of the show (skip) which is a problem. We haven't upgraded yet because our DIO boards use ISA slots...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Dan,Grateful for the sale prices. I'd like to do the starter kit so where I buy the software and the controller at the same time and get the connector and cable for free. Will the LOR 1 software still be sold during the sale dates or will LOR II be at by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is looking really neat. As we have always promised, LOR II software will be more expensive (but a free upgrade to existing user)... All existing LOR compatible controllers (even the ones sold during the sale) will not work with LOR II without a (free) LOR supplied upgrade.

More than the controllers, I have been waiting to play with the new LOR II and start sequencing music. If it will be out in time for the Christmas season does that mean in the Fall?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start early. Creating your sequences will take longer than you think, regardless of which LOR version you use. Anything you learn with LOR(1) will be transferable to LORII, and give you a head start on the new software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Don, you are absolutely right. I do have about 6 songs already sequenced from Christmas 2005 but I have one song I would like to do this year that is going to be particularly challenging. I was so looking forward to using the beat finder for it.I will continue to use LOR to sequence other songs for this year but I was just wondering about the release timing for LOR II just for this one song.I am by no means going to hold up production of the show waiting on LOR II.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I know you say you don't know when the software will be out, but I would like a realistic time date. Just a general month like october or something. This is so I can plan what I need to do. Take the example: You said a DMX card would be out 1-2 years ago, and now I have components that require DMX but I can't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the delays were my fault some not.. I am not going to give any dates except to say it will be for this season. What does that mean? Well the software would have to be available at least a couple months prior to turing on displays to be of any value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Will shows created under v1 be usable under v2, or will some means of import/export be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
