Im an old Maclux user but since a few years I use only the LXBeams version of LXFree so maybe I shouldnt review the LXFree, but most stuff of any importance is in the free version as well so I guess it´s OK. The part I use most is its integration with LXConsole, Qlab MIDI, OSC and Applescript. Its a strong side of the LXFree project with great potentials. Of course I also do all my lightplots in LXFree or LXBeams and encourage venues, collegues and others who may have any opinion of value regarding my plans to download this app. Sending pdf attachments and a list of requests and questions to touringsites or guesting groups is finally a thing of the past! Its great to be able to communicate editable plots. Now anyone who understands the basics of lightdesign can create and edit a lightplot, easily and for free. The part I like the least in this free app is the Symbol Editor and the way symbols and "Keys" are connected. Ive never managed to make much sense of it. Setting up devices like moving lights is also a bit of a weak spot I think. However I can tell since Im an old user that the software has evolved greatly and just keeps getting better and better everyday. I gladly stick with it confident that its a mighty good choice that will keep evolving, with mine and other users help and feedback, from great to fabulous.Īnd seriously, if you look around, which are the comparable alternatives to the prize of 0 bucks?Ĭurrently at version 1.7.1, the symbol libraries are great-no moving fixtures, but that's okay with me. The database side of things is very good in general. I couldn't find a way to edit in a list view though, with sortable columns and multiple selections. get training and work with some of the latest lighting equipment. It may be there somewhere, or perhaps some other means of editing data for groups of symbols meeting some criteria. The development of Unix started around 1969 at AT&T Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and. There is even a database field for "Group," though no apparent way to select all the members of say, the Cool Torms group and change the color for every instrument.
