Is any online training available for this profession?

Some really good knollege on this post...But, respectfully, i have to say i agree and disagree with some of the posts. Yes, not all controllers are created equally....some hardware controllers are great at user ability, but lack in the ability of amount of ways to use it. Where a computer controler has a learning curve, but does have MANY more features than i see it getting credit for. So, how do you pick one? Best way for you is different as it is for me, and like wise, it is different for...

I agree it doesn't seem that it should be the light. It doesn't make sense. But... I have tested this with MA2, Avo Pearl Expert(Titan), Hog3 Full Boar, Martin M1, and Chamsys MagicQ. The profiles for all these boards work fine in standard and basic mode. But none work in Extended. I have even tested channel by channel raw DMX with a Leprecon 48ch dumb board.(one to one patch only) If its not in the fixture, the only explanation is that 5 different profiles from 5 different operating systems...

I just received 4 new Beam Extreme fixtures. They all have this same problem in extended mode. The only strobe function that works for me is the random. They are all ver 1.2. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I have tested with the Martin M1 and Avo Titan One. Thanks!

I got rid of all my Elation and American DJ gear and went to martin sold all 12 of my Elation Platinum Spot LED II for 16 Martin MAC 250 Kryptons. Also Moved to Jands Vista Software and consoles S1 and M1. They actually can out and gave me a 2 day One on One course on how to use it. I have had no problems with any of this Pro stuff. now I can make a show not be a shipping department getting my stuff repaired all the time costing me money

Don´t forget LightJockey... LightJockey is the best DMX control software for Clubs and TimeCoded Shows i have used. And there is no alternative. All other DMX control software have the base layout like a Light console for Live use. LightJockey is different. I use LightJockey for the CueList, where i easily can program lights to video or audio tracks. LightJockey deserves future updates, a Mac version, unlock the stupid 100 fixture limit, change the preset limit from 100 to more, Change the...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to DMX and I've got a few questions.. I own the Elation "DMX Programmer" a small 64DMX channel board. Up until now, I have been using the consol to just run chases with a few floor pars. (Even though I talked to American DJ and they said It wouldn't control floor pars. ) Anyway, I am looking into getting one intelligent light. (I don't have lots of money, and this is just for a "lighting lab" in my basement) I was planning on just getting a small intelligent mirror...

This is my first post, so please be kind. I have no prior knowledge of DMX lighting. I help out a local ministry and we recently purchased a used SD1 w/ Rev. 3.03 M1. We have 16-AM/DJ P64LED, 2-MD/DJ Accu Spot 300 & 4 Cheuvet Q-wash 250. None of these fixtures are listed under the fixture selection one the SD1. I read the SD1 manual. I am starting out by attempting to control just one P64LED. I have the #1 switch in the ON position and all others OFF. I do understand the addressing on...

If you are a beginner you may be finding yourself having a hard time with understanding how your light fixture works or how your controller works? You may be asking yourself, “What the heck are DIP switches?” and “What in the heck is DMX?” and you’ll most likely find that the user manual of your product does not explain this to you. This is because the manuals take assumption that you already know what DMX is and what DIP switches are for and thus proceed to explain the operation of your...

Hey everyone, Yesterday I had a fairly decent-sized show with 26 Vari*lites and a dozen DesignWash LED 60's. Control was via a Martin M1. We ran two performances in the same day and powered off the entire rig while the theatre was dark. When we powered up for the second show I noticed that I had lost complete control of the pan function of one of the DW LED 60's. The pan motor was definitely engaged, however it remained positioned at roughly 45 degrees-from-centre and would not respond to...

Hi. I just received an original American DJ label Show Designer with version 1.08 M1 on it. I went on the ADJ website and downloaded what I think is the only available update for it. I'm having some trouble with the unit. The unit powers on just fine. I'm not too sure how to add my new lights. I have the Galaxian, Scorpion Storm FX, Chauvet ColorStrips, Chauvet vue 1.1, Chauvet FallOut. All LED, multiple DMX Channels, and I don't have any of these listed in the controller. I was able to add...

Well, all I can say is I like Korg gear. I have plenty. Korg nano KONTROL, KEY, PAD. DS-8(considered to be the better keyboard to the Yamaha DX-7, but didn't get the respect!) M3-R(stripped down original M1-R) with RE-1 editor Wavestation SR DDD-5 drum machine KMX-112 12-channel keyboard mixer and I think some other Korg stuff, including pedals. So, I can say I like Korg. My initial thoughts were, "gee, this sounds like a power issue". You're also lucky you didn't lose your SD card. Make a...

something to look into, this is what i use....i can manually adjust the speed and everything from my consol...this lets me blow low level fog off stage in a hurry quiet and gets the job done great... you can also go to home depot (or other like stores) and get a few small ducts that split the wind up letting you place the fan far off stage out of the way. (this is what i do) allowing multiple angles and locations with little to no noise... But that is my way of doing it :-) ...

agreed, and please add this on next update; - More sequence in one cue - More statics slots - More function at keyboard shortcut Basically I'm a keyboard mouse user and very often to followspoting with mouse. Touch panel isn't helpful without touch screen.

Can the Martin M1 light controller be converted from 5 pin to 3 pin dmx? Can this be done at the output of the board or does each individual light need an adapter?

Hi - I'm using a Martin M2GOHD - which I understand is now supported by Elation who market the controller as the NX2? I am seeking fixture profiles for a number of Martin fixtures: Martin ELP CL LED profile Martin Rush Par3 RGB Martin Rush Batten 1 Hex I can't find fixture profile downloads on the Elation webiste or anywhere else? Any pointers please on this would be greatly appreciated ASAP as I am on a very tight schedule to get the show programmed and would rather avoid having to create...

Hi, try the obsidian website. It’s all in the 4.4 download. www.obsidiancontrol.com

Thank you so much for the swift reply - really appreciate it. The M2GOHD desk I have inheritted is running M-Series software 3.70.885.0 which as far as I can tell is the last M-Series OS version released? I am extremely nervous about trying to change this to Onyx at this stage. We are a community organisation and were donated the desk 'as is' and don't have the funds or the knowledge to start getting into OS upgrades.😕 On the Obsidian Control website (great tip thank you) however I did find...

Hi, all you need to do is place the .EXE installer onto a USB stick, plug it into the console and run the fixture library update from the settings menu on the console. You cannot import individual fixtures from the exe, you need to let it update the whole library. This is the way it has always been done.

Thank you so much - managed to get to the Fixture LIbrary update via the Tools menu and worked a treat! Really appreciate the swift advice! Thank you too for replying to my other post re. training - will give the FB group a try. Cheers,

To whom it may concern, Greetings, just wanted to let you know that this forum is strictly for Elation lighting fixtures and products. You would need to contact Martin direct, for assistance with your fixture. Sorry for the inconvenience.

ok Thx

Hello Forum members. Sure hope you can help me. I'm am a union sound guy working in the industry for the local and only have a basic knowledge of lighting instruments. I recently purchased 8 Martin Mac 250 Kryptons at auction. I really don't have a DMX console to run them thru, but there is one at work, an ETC Element, that i am vaguely familiar with. 3 of the units work flawlessly, one needs a tilt belt after a Halloween decoration (spider webbing) incident, and 1 has a jumpy pan motor when...

Hello! My Martin m1 professional console freezes with a white screen upon starting up the system. We are hoping to be able to connect an external screen to it but haven't been able to figure out how to make it work. If anyone has any insight on how to fix this - I would appreciate it. This is outside of my regular area of expertise and we are waiting two weeks for a tech to come out.

Hello, i've shown this to our hardware team, and they said that it is most likely a blown motherboard, which sadly is no longer available from us as a spare part and also means the console is likely damaged beyond repair. My apologies for the bad news.

Thank you!! We were guessing that was the case based on it not responding to anything we tried.

No problem, sorry it is not fixable. That being said the Obsidian consoles are a great upgrade to these older ones, newer hardware, faster and newer components, and lots of new features! https://obsidiancontrol.com/onyx-control-devices

Hello, I am having an issue with my Martin M1 professional console that I hope someone can help me with. When I power on the console; it gets stuck on a white screen and won’t proceed any further. I am interested in connecting an external monitor to the console. I am not able to fix out the proper method to do this. I have checked https://forums.elationlighting...-console-not-working- tensorflow documentation guide but still need help . If anyone has tips on how to resolve the white screen...
