Coro - snow flake, can Aurora control this?

All this is the result of one man's brilliant dream.  Well, I guess a few of us test the code to see if it works or not, but all this is the result of the programming skills of one man.  There are also talented programmers on the beta team (deweycooter, to name but one), which helps matters quite a bit.  What, exactly, are the beta tester roles?  Well, I'm pretty sure you'll already know that's a trade secret that we are obligated to not divulge.  Nothing personal, it's just good business sense to not let competitors know all of your moves.  But to address your other question that I'll take the liberty to put bluntly, what would happen if Michael were hit by a bus and was now programming halo's to glow in tune to heavenly music in the next world?  Would his Aurora simply fade into oblivion, like Doom, a program that was cutting edge at the time it was developed, but now sadly obsolete thus nostalgic, (like Doom is to early gamers)?  (What?)  Well, for that rather long (but blunt) question to be answered, you'll have to ask the right person, and that's not me.  So basically the point of all this, and I'll put this succinctly, is that I can't help you here.  (Told you.  Short and sweet.) 

As for your statement, I can confirm that the copy and paste functions are now practically instantaneous.  This is old news, which is probably why it urks you; you want to know what's happened since then.  And the answer is that while we have made a lot of progress, yes, development has slowed due to family matters that Michael is taking care of.  I like to think of this like ketchup.  You know, good things come to those who wait.

There is a DMX beta copy available, but it is the same DMX beta that has been available since last year (think v1.0.69, but with DMX).  To get it, PM LightsOnLogan directly as only Michael can give you access to it.  Keep in mind that that version is unsupported, and there are a few hoops to jump through.  As for the the beta v1.1 and v1.2 series, those will not become available until development is complete. 

Thanks Jonathon. Your explaination as always is appreciated.

Currently, RGB sequencing (other than Firefli) can be accomplished by telling Aurora that the ACx8, ACx16, DCx16 (or LOR controllers) are RGB controllers, and by then assigning the Red, Green, and Blue channels.  The software then correctly mixes the intensity levels of the three lights to acheive the desired color.  This design was done for those who wanted color washing on their house via flood lights, but it also requires three seperate channels on your controller to work.  While that may seem a bit, well, limited by today's standards, this was done several years ago well before RGB products had become mainstream and well before any other sequencer had dabbled in RGB controls.  So the short answer is that in v1.0.69, this product will not work.
