so, being the sort of ignorant fool that i am ( :) ), how is the new moncha in terms of live performance?
anyone with experience wants to try and make it a bit simpler?
and indeed the combo with LSX makes it very very appealing

moncha is not designed for live performance but is sufficient for basic purposes using live (changing scale, position, brightness, speed or scanspeed) but i don't have experience with controlling it via DMX as in the video - that's something i wanted from the start and now it seems it's there
With the new update, I think it adds a lot to the live performance, the laser matrix allows for some awesome modulations if you set it up right, I've got it to flip the X, Y, and Z axis's just like you can do it quickshow and all of that.
Nvm about what I had originally posted here in this space, changed my mind because I forgot about a the "quick FX" section in quickshow, but I will say that you can create most of these effects in the cue itself.
Also the new software works perfect with the old USB Devices! and it also works with multiple USB devices too! when you select multiple device ouptups just select which one you want for that output, each seems to have a different serial number type of thing. I plan on writing that number on my Devices.

And for the matrix movements, here are a few examples that i have made that can be really usefull

About Fiesta for live (don't know Moncha but should not be much different) : it's not that bad, but compared to Livepro or Beyond it lacks some important things for live performance, particularly something like QuickFX.Quote:

But I'm really waiting on Matrix for Fiesta which will be incredibly powerful especially with multiple lasers! Something like delayed rotation, zoom etc easily added between your different lasers, which looks very great on a live performance.
Fiesta does have a matrix, but it requires another device, though I like fiesta's ability to control pretty much an unlimited amount of devices, individually in each cue. and hope this gets implemented in Moncha, but that may be just a dream haha.Quote:

you can hook up up to 16 devicesQuote:
