I have RPM's Enttech Pro clone and an Enttec Open. I am willing to try them out to help the widder community. it will aslo let me a good go with HLS.

I tried converting my MP3s to Wav using Audacity. When I load the resultant WAV file I get the following error.

Matt:

I have not run into that CHUNK before.

I will release 4C shortly that will bypass that chunk - see if the song plays correctly.

Give me an hour or two.

Matt:

Version 4C is available - it ignores unwanted CHUNK blocks.

Just a thought,

Unless I've just missed it HLS doesn't have much of a visualizer compared to say LOR's S3. Well as much as LOR might not like the idea why not program HLS to be able to talk to LOR Visualizer? LOR Visualizer is commanded by LOR S3 using IP protocol so once one figures out the commands sent from the sequencer to the visualizer it should be easy for HLS to talk to the visualizer as well. I really like the idea of the visualizer being a totally separate program as well as the thought of others writing visualizers that communicate using the same protocol.

Anyway, as I said just a thought.

If I get some time I'll try capturing a few frames just to see what it looks like.

Would some one with entec pro >clone coding be so kind as to help Joe get the usb >dmx supported.

thanks.

That did the trick. I can import my own converted music. Thanks.

I can also assist with debugging the Entech Pro Output. (I have one on my desk permanently.

When you use Enttech's or RPM's USB to DMX dongle - are they set up as a virtual COM port?

Or do they need direct FTDX22 communication?

Thanks.

hello Joe,
I think I might know who can answer your Entec/Dongle questions. Let me ping him to see what he says.

RPM's dongle comes up as a virtual COM port and you assign the Enttec Pro (in Vixen) to that COM port - the baud settings are not used since it uses 250Kbps by default.
