Subject: [LCtalk] Controlling Lanbox LCX in Windows Max
From: Silvère Sayag

Hi

As you certainly know, Cycling74 has released the windows version of MAX.

I really would like to be able to control my Lanbox from WMax, but the existing objects are Macintosh specific. So my question is, do you plan to port your objects to WMax. I've seen in the list that it wouldn't be too complicated, but my abilities in C++ are far too limited to think about doing it myself.

But I have to admit that lately, when I switched from LCM to LCX, I wasn't too happy with the new objects for Max. When I was working with a LCM with LCedit II firmware, it was really possible to work as I like, meaning without cues or anything, but sending directly DMX value to the channels. I usually work with not too many channels, but they are moving all the time, using a lot of random and things like this.

With the new firmware, and then the new objects, it's not really possible anymore. For instance, setting all channels at a certain level takes quite sometime, because you have to refresh the values channel by channel. When working with LCedit, this problem doesn't exist.

So my asking would be this, an object for WMax that allows sending a lot of channels at the same time (if it's possible, but it was in the past, so why wouldn't).

And finally, because Christmas is approaching, if this object, or a different one, could allow to use the analog inputs for it's own purpose (I mean, not related to the light, but to be used as controller in WMax), it would really feel like Christmas.

Friendly yours, Silvère Sayag
