Sadly, No. The usual route is to watch other people's shows and deconstruct shows that come with your software. Or visit another laser person, which is why we have PL.

That is where the musicality and art comes in. It helps if you have a time line editor like in Spaghetti, Moncha, Pangolin, LDS or , LFI player's scripts.

Other stuff is done live with knob boxes or MIDI keyboards.

For slow music, you can get away with a live mouse and hot keys.

(LFI player, is difficult, but freeware, and Mike the author will help you via email)

Do not let this discourage you, but it can be a long journey. (Also expensive)

Here is a example:

That is lumia plus abstract, both within the reach of some one with little budget then a graphics show. Done mostly live.

Then there is stuff like this.

ok i have ordered spacelas 35k scanners,
now i need a dac, i was looking at Ishow it looks good for a beginner scanner and a first scanner, comes with all the software and cables,
so unless you can sell me something better that comes in a kit i may have to get it.



oh and for the dac to connect to the scanners, do i need a male or female DB25 breakout board?

Search Ishow on this forum, before you make a big mistake.

Cool. Thought I recognized it.

2-3mm is pretty light on. You may find you need to bump this to at least 6-8mm or more down the track.

why is that?
