scubado Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 When S3 comes out, will Superstar be part of the demo version? I would like to try out S3 and the Superstar software to determine what level of software I want or need to upgrade to. What features besides not being able to actually control lights will not be allowed in demo version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You can still download the demo version of the Superstar Sequence Editor and see what the software is like.As for it being available in the S3 Demo, and what features ... those are Dan questions.http://www.superstarlights.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wait on a new version to begin sequencing. Start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Historically, whats been the beta testing timeframe?I'd expect it to be significantly longer for a major relase like this compared to a point release, but would be a good indication of when the software may see the light of day.And if the plan is to have it available for the summer sale, points toward August for the sale to take place.

I wouldn't tie the release of the software to the sale date. (For example: If they held off on the sale during the release of S2, the sale wouldn't have happened until November.)As for testing time frames ... I don't recall how long S2 was in beta. I couldn't venture a guess on how long S3 will be in beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why some folks are eagerly awaiting the S3 software for that very reason, they not only want, but may currently need the SS software to set up their CCR's or other RGB type lights, and since S3 is NOT yet available, puts these folks in a holding pattern for the S3 release.Just know if I was in the market to purchase some CCR's and wanted a great program to do it with, there isn't one readily available since the advent of the S3 software has stopped the sale of the SS software at this time. So I'd say that's a little unfair to keep the SS author from continuing to sell his easy to use interface software until S3 is readily available to everyone.Just my opinion.

JBullard Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Orville,The demo version of the Super Star is available. I've used it to work on some of my sequences, prior to the S3 software.And I'm sure that anyone that had any interest in the Super Star software has done the same.I wanted to be up to speed with it, when it is released.EDIT: Back in June of 2009 when the CCR was first announced, many of us placed our orders. The only software at that time was ver 2.3.6 which did not offer any RGB support. We went ahead and starting updating our sequences the hard way channel by channel, pixel by pixel. We didn't receive our CCRs until mid to late October.No one should be waiting on S3 software to start their sequences, there are plenty of ways to do it now!

Yes, I do have the SS demo and been playing around with it. Is there another software that is just as user friendly out there that can do this too?I have some stand-alone RGB L.E.D.'s I purchased for experimenting with in models and for automotive use, but after playing with the SS Demo, got me thinking I may want to try and build something for my Holiday display(s) instead.I can see why so many prefer and love the SS software, but you can't save or do anything in the demo version, so it's basically useless for someone until S3 is released or they find another program that'll work just as well and, again, be as user friendly as the SS demo software.So if there is another program out here, someone point me to it! And I'll check it out, hopefully it has a demo function to try it out before you buy it. At least I'd prefer to have that option to know if the software would suit my purpose and ease of use.Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
