Well I guess I'm joining the masses!

Finally got my Mac for my SL1642,so I'm gonna get DMXis this week I think.

Already have a FCB1010,may have to reprogram it alittle bit to fit our needs. Probably run it and or our drummers SPD-s for control of scenes and effects.

Still wish it had beat detection like Freestyler does,but I need a program I can load on 2 machines,Mac and PC.

Does anybody know how many machines I can put my key on?

There is no limit. The dongle is the key.

For the FCB1010. Just do a reset, and it's good to go. Buttons 1-10 bank one are the first 10 scenes. Bank 2 are the next 10 scenes etc.

I set one volume pedal to control the brightness of the lights on the band. I set the other one to control the smoke machine.

The problem with beat detection unless you play boom chick country, the kick drum is pretty much random, if it takes a count of the kick drum beats

That's what freestyler does that. It will count the kick beats before it sends a change message through the program.
It's been real handy that way for changing washes in auto pilot mode. Giving of control of just the effects changes.
