It found it that time. I appreciate that. Just curious I plugged in some lights to my controller and hit test and nothing happened and I’m using a sequence I purchased. I went in and tried playing it in the music plays but the lights don’t do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR I got it to work. I had it plugged into my mini director while it was plugged into the computer. As soon as I unplugged it from that the lights came on. Is there a way to test the lights and here the music ? I sure got myself into something this year. My wife bought me a 16 channel starter set up and singing tree. Then I found a guy that was selling four 16 channel controllers and all his lights. I went and got all of it from him. This should be interesting!!

dibblejr Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 You need to start by updating the software to 5.6.64 - the latest The test is a class (s) all in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK so I did the software update and now when I try to go through the steps to test it, one stringer comes on and nothing else happens. Last night I could test the lights and now that I’ve done the software update nothing works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which test worked previously that does not work now? Please answer all of the questions. A lot of people dont answer all or explain. In this hobby there is no such thing as to much info. To get answers we need info Thank you JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
