    Cool! I ran across (probably your post) about the board and was excited. Currently my TTL blue does fine but the analog dpss green suffers lag, and things like starfields in the LSX demo file never show up in green. I also get trails. The LSX color ramp adjustments don't really help, and the timing skew stuff looks like it adjusts all colors (which is fine, it would be hell trying to code it otherwise.) I think boosting the analog drive signal to the green should help, and the DZ board seems to be the ticket. I also plan to move the blue diode to an analog driver, and I have a ~170mw Opnext 638nm diode on the way to couple with one of the Flexdrives I bought from Lava ~ 2 years ago at my first SELEM. Hopefully that will take care of red, if too weak then 2nd diode and pbs will be next. Right now my RIYA is set to treat my analog 400mw green as TTL, and I have red mapped over to blue IIRC. Once this is solved then I will feel more confident about attempting to make shows :-)

    The artistic thing is trying to do something more than show clip-art to keywords in songs and you're accomplishing that!

    once you get the color board configured properly (it takes a while),

    you'll loose a lot of the green trails and your color blending/cycling will become just amazing. adjusting the scanning optimization settings will also go a long way toward removing trails.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    hmmm now this is a brainbug, making abstract show to some of Amiga demo tunes
