Joe Noe Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm not sure I can wait much longer. I want to use DMX this year and I need some time to play with the stuff ahead of time. Figured the sale would have already happened by now. Between that and the contest announcement, it sure would be nice to get a quick forum update as to what is going on. I know they are working on software too, but I don't know if anyone will be able to really use it this year as people with big displays probably needed to start sequencing like yesterday. If this sounds like complaining, it's really not. Just starting to get concerned...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sequence with what we have. Many will continue to use the current software through the lighting season, and only upgrade after lights out in January. This ensures that the lighting platform in use is stable and has no bugs that will affect the display. So, if you've been waiting for S3, the best advice is to get sequencing with S2 now...D.T.

Don Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I agree with Dave (and have long said the same thing.) If you're waiting on new software before you start sequencing ... stop waiting and get started. As we've seen with previous versions of the LOR software, anything you've done with previous versions are compatible with the current version.

David Rise Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 OH...OH...Can't connect to the main LOR site. Could this be it? Are they updating, getting ready for the big sale?RATS! Finally came up. Guess that wasn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Young Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 There are at least 4 separate threads dealing with the summer sale.If you are waiting on the sale to make changes in sequences figuring on going the S3 route, as others have said, you are making a mistake. Get going on your sequences using S2. Remember that it's now less than 4 months until display season starts!If you want to be among the first to find out about the sale, make sure you have signed up for their email notification.Based on previous experiences, you will find out that way sooner, rather than asking questions on the forum.Also, as the beta testers are working with LOR3, it should be apparent that will not likely be ready before the end of the month sale.

I don't ever remember the software being on sale, so S3 has nothing to do with the summer sale.The programmers are hard at work on bug fixes and improvements the beta testers are finding. Anything that you do in S2 will just transfer into S3, so no need to be waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Jim, If the secret February sale was in March, Then the June/July "Summer sale" will be in August/September... So don't worry, S3 will be out by then. Right? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to order as many CCB's as I can afford, but I'm not getting my hopes up about what I do with them this year. I know it will be a big learning curve for me with the new software. ( I'm a little slow on top of that!) I just plan on finishing what I wanted to do last year, and go from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you've been waiting for S3, the best advice is to get sequencing with S2 now...D.T.While I do agree with you, I had extra high hopes to be able to use some of the new RGB functionality that's been discussed as well as the super star integration. I know there are others with more channels, but sequencing 8 CCR's plus whatever I add on this year really makes the new functionality appealing...almost so much so that I was willing to take the chance with the new version for this year's show.Also, I was hoping to use the new DMX Dongles that have been discussed as opposed to ordering an iDMX. I don't know if the dongles will replace iDMX or not, which would help me make the call. If I could use the iDMX indefinately, then it really doesn't matter I guess. I also read stuff about S3 having native DMX over ethernet support, although I don't really know everything about it as I'm just venturing into DMX. Indoor display makes that much more feasible now.P.S. - Does "Old Timer" refer to age or years of show...after all, I am in my 6th season....
