The weird artefacts are due to an interpolation setting in the video editor software - We missed this setting on the export! Safe to say the video doesn't really look like that! USB Drivers: www.enttec.com/product/dmx-usb-interfaces/open-dmx-usb/#h-drivers
So glad you've finally highlighted this amazing feature, been using this for about a year now for laser light shows and it's Incredible. It's really nice to be able to create a light show with a similar work flow to creating a piece of music coming from a production background.
0:27 I just want to point out, this is the only time in the video, you say they use 3pin XLR, when it should be DMX. For those that dont know, the difference between an XLR and DMX is the amount of impedance in the cable. Although the cables look the same, do not mix those cables up. That could damage equipment. Although great tutorial and im sure ill be using this soon enough!
Correction: The plug is still called 3-pin and 5-pin XLR- on both DMX and balanced audio cables. We did say get a DMX cable (not a mic cable) but indeed whe did not say why you should make sure it's a DMX cable. Chances are they are not going to find a 3-pin XLR to 5-pin XLR mic cable though, mics tend to not do that ;)
Great tutorial Image-Line but to whom it may concern, I found this choice of music to be highly inappropriate and offensive, especially considering the contents of the video were meant to be educational in nature.I urge you to reconsider the use of this song or similar in future educational videos and to be more mindful of the impact that music choices can have on the audience. Despite the language barrier for some people, please check the lyrics before posting as I find this music very inappropriate for young and sensible viewers.
Yeah, i think its about time for that… i feel like i seen the reason why they haven’t yet in forums. I think it has something to do with android. It feel more and more like this is an excuse now that the iOS IAA/audiobus has been around a while. But its just like how logic pro mobile got their Version of AUv3… mobile FL users may never see those… :( even if apple gives them the source code it may never be implemented to fairness with android users.
That's pretty cool but a plugin where you can load fixture context is pretty much necessary. Take the dimmer/strobe for example. You need to know the right value and then zoom in to hit the range. Some lights have gobo wheels (mostly 8, so roughly 12% range for each). You want the gobo with the stars? Which value was it again? Then you mix in other fixtures and those have completely different ranges for their strobe speed for example. BUT the fact that it works at all is amazing.
Just keep in mind that sometimes DMX hardware have their own "time resolution" (as I figured out while working with my own lights) so keep experimenting till you find out how your laser responds to fast automation changes ;)
Is there any way to export the DMX info as a file that can be read by a computer that doesn’t have FL studio by any chance? Toying with the idea of doing custom lighting for local bands who might not use the same DAW
@KZYOBEATS kinda defeats the point when half the local bands won't be running a laptop with FL Studio though. Isn't there a .dmx format that's accessible on more types of software?
A quick question are there plans for native Linux support in the future? A native Linux version of FL would be amazing and a game changer for so many Linux music producers.
Great video and super informative - however is there some sort of motion interpolation going on with the footage? It makes things quite hard to watch, and also can make the interfaces hard to read in motion.
Yes, you could isolate the bass or some track, put a Peak Controller, and assign the output of the controller to move the knob corresponding to a certain light in your DMX setup
Now Imageline needs to fix the marker system so it actually pauses when you have it set to pause. In otherwords this will all work if you have your set set up like a dj all your songs strung together in one long session and just hit play at the beginning it will work. But if you want to do a different way like in my case I want to start video and lights with the play head and it pause at pause markers well it doesn't pause at least 50% of the time it doesn't work. So yeah for your bedroom its fine but in front of an audience just not yet.
I'm curently using the 'Showtec Net-2/5' DMX ethernet node, is there any way to make it work with this or is it only compatible with Enttec devices ? Thanks !
Would really love to make it work. Tried with both Mac and Windows, i'm getting missing driver errors. Could anyone confirm if this works with a device other then Enttec ?
Had this in mind a few years ago! But how we can utilise the midi like painting attributes from midi patterns to dmx channels? The ideea is to aquire build.later pallets library that we can use later for time management.hoow we can do that? How we patch the fixature?.how many fixature we can used it?
Dumb question maybe. Is there a way to use this on a macbook with Traktor playing timecode vinyl? Maybe not synbc but switch between programs to shange the lights? Just for some mobile deejaying. thanks!
does this work on export? Like lets say someone has led lights in there room and play my song, would the lights i program in a track work for other people playing it as a wav. mp3 etc?
To be honest there is many other, more important things that could be added to FL Studio. Functionality of this DAW can be annoying at times in many aspects.
Dmx uses 512 channels. To control myltplev lights you need to set the starting address for each light. The light in the video uses 9 channels. If you have 2 of them you need to set the channel of the 2nd device to 10. Then you have channel 1 and 10 control the pan of both. And now you can control them individually.
Is there a way to ADD more than 31 channels? It maxes out at 31, but I need 41 total (got 5 lights with 7 channels each). Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Which artefacts?
Can you suggest a hardware to connect to fl and handel it with a hardware controller????
luckily your customers tend to love weird artifacts
Please please please update our IL remote
At this point fl studio is the greatest daw ever created 💯
It's been that way.
Well what can I say 😄😄🥹
FL studio always delivers 💯💯
So glad you've finally highlighted this amazing feature, been using this for about a year now for laser light shows and it's Incredible. It's really nice to be able to create a light show with a similar work flow to creating a piece of music coming from a production background.
Studio sessions will never be the same again 😈
Truth be said
That’s what I’m thinking
This software just CONTINUES to get better and better! I am REALLY GLAD I own a copy and that it's mine to use! Keep up the great work guys!! :D

@@FL_STUDIO Very true! Just wanted to make sure nobody mistook that because I remember thinking both were the same
I didn’t know you can control lights with a DAW
well now u can baby
@@Flairis yay
You can in fact control any hardware device with your daw using Voltage Controller. As long as you are able to connect it properly.
@@Flairis Been a thing for yeeears in FL
This is wonderful! if I'll have have lights like this I'm gonna make lightshows all day!
No way... I'm fully shocked right now
Such a gem humbly hidden among ZGE/FL
Now everyone wants a DMX light in their studio
I've quite literally been waiting for this tutorial for like 12 years omggg
Thank you!
Please MPE and more channels
Nice vibes 🎉 nice lights 🔥 Happy music making 🤸♂️

This is sick. I always wanted this to be built Into the DAW
Imagine using Peak Controller to pump the lights from the Kick track only... just an idea
And it has been for years
Excellent update! More control, more expression of sounds and music! ❤
First time they play Latin music, in Spanish and reggaeton. Very good FL Studio
Glad you noticed ;)
0:00 *Welcome*
Next: FL Studio should interface with SoundSwitch DMX
Add BPM automation in Mobile Version
Yeah, i think its about time for that… i feel like i seen the reason why they haven’t yet in forums. I think it has something to do with android. It feel more and more like this is an excuse now that the iOS IAA/audiobus has been around a while.

Then you mix in other fixtures and those have completely different ranges for their strobe speed for example.
BUT the fact that it works at all is amazing.
you can just use fruity envelope keyboard mapping then save it as a preset so whenever you use the same machine it should trigger it.
A while ago I bought a laser effect and an USB DMX controller to do just that, I planned on using a VST...and again you guys read my mind.
Just keep in mind that sometimes DMX hardware have their own "time resolution" (as I figured out while working with my own lights) so keep experimenting till you find out how your laser responds to fast automation changes ;)
Discovered the same issue, especially on the devices I cheaped out on. My cheap Chinese lasers bug out alot when sent fast moving automations
Is there any way to export the DMX info as a file that can be read by a computer that doesn’t have FL studio by any chance? Toying with the idea of doing custom lighting for local bands who might not use the same DAW
Just export the bone projects, this will export the automations you have made, but you will still need fl studio
@KZYOBEATS kinda defeats the point when half the local bands won't be running a laptop with FL Studio though. Isn't there a .dmx format that's accessible on more types of software?
About time
Please implement connect through Art-Net feature.
what about being able to SAVE and export MARKERS ???? Why are you guys on sidequests there are so many normal features we are all waiting on
A quick question are there plans for native Linux support in the future? A native Linux version of FL would be amazing and a game changer for so many Linux music producers.
These guys always impress me
Wow, don't know we can do this, now i can order my light bar or laser....🤩🤩🤩
But what about multiple lights??
@@joeysalins1502 I saw you can click on the + symbol and open 31 new channels and then click + again.....
Great video and super informative - however is there some sort of motion interpolation going on with the footage? It makes things quite hard to watch, and also can make the interfaces hard to read in motion.
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Sorry I saw DMX Lights
RIP
so this can be done also on parametric if you want to isolate bass kick and high?
Yes, you could isolate the bass or some track, put a Peak Controller, and assign the output of the controller to move the knob corresponding to a certain light in your DMX setup
Wooow as the video went on I was so much more impressed
WOW!
Now Imageline needs to fix the marker system so it actually pauses when you have it set to pause. In otherwords this will all work if you have your set set up like a dj all your songs strung together in one long session and just hit play at the beginning it will work.

FL Studio is the best DAW. Don't care about what you think.
We're doing a party in the house tonight!
It would be cool to see this controlled in patcher
Had this in mind a few years ago! But how we can utilise the midi like painting attributes from midi patterns to dmx channels? The ideea is to aquire build.later pallets library that we can use later for time management.hoow we can do that? How we patch the fixature?.how many fixature we can used it?
babe wake up, new fl update video dropped
I think this is an already present capability not an update.
This is So Cool ✨
Can you add functionality with SoundSwitch hardware or maybe even partner with their software?
Woah !!! Hail IL
Light shows made easy
太棒了~~！請問啥時候出 FL 12.3啊~~~！
Dumb question maybe. Is there a way to use this on a macbook with Traktor playing timecode vinyl? Maybe not synbc but switch between programs to shange the lights? Just for some mobile deejaying. thanks!
Did you apply video stabilisation to the entire final render? lol
Is there a device list somewhere?
FL making it Universal 😊
Quick Question: can i set my soundcard to my controller FLX10 in fl studio… will the lights then resonate with my djing?
FLX10 has a DMX output.
does this work on export? Like lets say someone has led lights in there room and play my song, would the lights i program in a track work for other people playing it as a wav. mp3 etc?
how about dmx chain??
To be honest there is many other, more important things that could be added to FL Studio. Functionality of this DAW can be annoying at times in many aspects.
But what about multiple Lights?
DMX can do múltiple lights. You can even connect them in series
Dmx uses 512 channels. To control myltplev lights you need to set the starting address for each light. The light in the video uses 9 channels. If you have 2 of them you need to set the channel of the 2nd device to 10.
Then you have channel 1 and 10 control the pan of both. And now you can control them individually.
Is there a way to ADD more than 31 channels? It maxes out at 31, but I need 41 total (got 5 lights with 7 channels each). Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
insane
Finally
!!
wow great fun new !!!! Love Fl Studio ! We can link more than 1 light ? 🥰
I also want know, how many channels, how many parameter per channel?
Yeah, There's 512 channnels
Cela est il valable avec Fl pour un Laser RVB 512 DMX 500 mw?
De tanta música buena que pudieron agregar de muestra, salen con esa basura...
sa cuanto tempo e che uso il custom version un po perche non scade
🔥🔥🔥
Hello bhai Like
What about an AI mixing tool? :D
OMG!
I wish FL studio would have presets for tuning, such as just intonation, or Pythagoras tuning. The stock instruments are seriously out of tune.
The plugin i always wanted but im never gonna use
Thank you… i hate rekordbox, my Serato and FL studio can work in tendom now… 😊
i thought dmx was a rapper :p
IS THERE ANYTHING FL STUDIO CAN'T DO!?
The video looks very wobbly and weird, otherwise nice to know this is a possibility.
O
Da g I thought the light would be in the DAW😢
So like what? You're gonna compete against GrandMA3 now?
Please update your IL remote
