I understand that there is no dmx in function. however, if you can back up your scenes from the magic 260 to a pc or usb drive, is there not a way to bring them into the new software? If not, it would be very helpful for elation to either standardize their encoding so you can upgrade your controller to another elation controller and not lose your work. or, write a quick program where you can convert your backed up memory to whatever encoding your new elation controller uses. are there any plans for this? it would really help out the end user.
