George Simmons Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I liked Dan's post in a visualizer thread a week or two ago when he said something about the beta going out this month. If that's an S3 release I say bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea..I thought Dan recently posted that it would be going to you, the Beta Testers and it would include the new visualizer...or did I assume something again?EDIT:Here it is: Also as far as lots of posts... We are busy here at LOR getting the new S3 Software and Hardware ready for this year. DanAll I'm aware of is version 2.10.But, things have change much lately in the LOR world.ADD: Now I'm getting all excited for the release. I don't read much this time of the year to prevent burn-out when the season nears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies to all for answering what's already been stated, or should I say "overstated"?But no matter, will be looking forward to the new S3 software when it arrives!Also be glad when one of my employment prospects comes through so I can get my own internet service instead of "hijacking" any unsecured one I can tap into!

My "guess" is that it will be in beta this month.Edit: Quote from above: "Why wait..I'm sure whatever we do now will be compatible with the new visualizer or else it would have rolled out already" Yes, any sequencing you do will be compatible. Also a concern from above.. The new visualizer does not necessarily make it easier to sequence. It is an enhanced visualizer but it is only a visualizer.

kzaas Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 They have been promising a new visualizer since spring last year, now they have to add the SuperStar wizard, so were not going to see this stuff until its too late to use it for the 2011 season:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan has stated/pointed out that the visualizer is simply that, a visualizer. It's not going to do anything to help you sequence better. The only thing that it will do is make your visualizer work (we hope) better.If anyone is waiting on the new software in hopes that the new visualizer will help improve their sequencing ability ... well ... I got nothing there.The SuperStar software has been available for the better part of a year (if not longer). If one really wanted it, they could have already owned it and be using it today.(And, there are those that would argue that it's already too late for 2011. I don't agree with them, but everyone has their opinion.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzaas Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I disagree, the visualizer can improve sequencing by giving you a better picture of what you are doing. If all you do is put a couple of dots here and there to see lights turn on and off, that won't work for me. I try to fully detail my visualizer, first with a background picture and then I try and layout the lights the way I do when the season comes up.The one thing I do agree with is, it's diffinatly not too late right now. I usually sequence up through December 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new visualizer will support macros. It was hard to know if the macro effect worked without it being hooked up all the time. Speaking of that. It seems superstar Brian has his tree up all the time to test his software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think I'd share good information there? Absolutely not. Here is the time I see on your "Whoa" post: Posted: Thu Mar 10th, 2011 19:10So I see it as being posted as of 7:10pm (for those not familiar with 24 hour military time styles 19:10 = 7:10pm). That was copied directtly from your posts header here on the LOR Forums. So you're correct, it was posted at 7:10pm originally. And I'm in Florida, see you're in North Carolina, not sure if we have different time zones between us or not.Now I do know that Florida does have two time zones that are 1 hour apart from each other, but only for one part of the time change/year, the other part (and I can never remember when or which), we're on the same time. Now talk about "screwy!" :shock: Wonder if each time zone area does see this differently? May be Dan or Bob can answer that one better since they're the ones that set the forums up.

I usually sequence up through December 1st.I agree and in my 2010 Display I was still "tweaking" and "sequencing" all the way up through December 21! So I don't think it's ever too late to add anything new to the software. It may be for many folks that have massive displays, but for us with the smaller ones, like from 16 to 80 channels or so, I just don't think it would be too late for us. larger displays, very possibly since that would require a lot of work to redo or move everything around. I could be wrong on that, only those folks with those humongous displays know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
