JonathanG Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (I am brand-new to this) I want to set up my laptop, my new LOR1602W, two purchased sequences, and packages of LED lights to get an idea of how it all works/looks/runs before I start putting up lights after Thanksgiving. My question: Is there anyway to hit a "play" button off the Hub (or any other app) to run my two songs? I know I can run it off the Scheduler App (on a schedule), but I was looking for something more simple. Thanks so much. PS - I have spent hours looking for an answer - but just couldn't find anything.
Mr. P Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Please fill in your profile with your software version and license level so we know what you are working with. Answers to your questions are different based on these two factors.

You don't show a software version however in S4 we have what is known as the Visualizer and in S5 they have the Preview. They are the simpleist JR
JonathanG Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 Wow - thanks for the quick response. I have the Basic Version, S5? (I ordered it last week) (It was the Pro Series 16 Channel Starter Package) Thank You.
sax Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 To test your sequence you can just play the sequence on the pc connected to the controller. Maker sure LOR com is active and running in the background. Make sure control lights is selected in the sequencer. Note: This is how to perform the task in S4 software. I bet S5 is similar. I always test my sequences and equipment prior to placement in the yard. I usually do this in the summer where I have time to fix if it doesn’t work.
JonathanG Posted November 12, 2019 Author Posted November 12, 2019 Thank You, sax.... I am slowly figuring it out.

Yes, very similar in S5, the window for S5 has tabs on the right edge for the Preview, Control Lights and Effects. Be sure PC is running, the Control Lights require the proper boxes to be checked and if LOR, DMX or what any other network you are CURRENTLY wired into and testing IS CHECKED! Otherwise the Control Lights will be disabled. Have fun and good luck. I would also add...upgrading to Pro has great advantages. Jim Edited November 12, 2019 by Rockhammer53 additional comment
