Doing a Lightkey build-out at our church and this video was super helpful - thank you! LOVED that you did some song examples in there and talked through philosophy of why you did what you did with the movements, shapes, etc.

It's a small thing but I love how it improves organisation of all the buttons! How did you get the dark backgrounds for each button section on the live view?

interested in using this program, can you setup scenes per song so its a little easier for consistency with different operators? from what I see is you just setup cues and have to do it that way. any help would be awesome!

Hey there! Yes you can do it that way. One of the best things about Lightkey is it’s flexibility. It can be set up how ever you want it to, meaning you can give as much or as little control to operators as possible. As a church we have volunteers running everything and training them takes time so we normally keep some level of control to make sure we give our services the best experiences.

Would love to see hardware used for lights to connect and how lights communicate with software

Hey there! We’ve had great success with this interface: amzn.to/3Grrcm8 It’s the enttec DMX USB Pro. Very easy to connect!!

I'm very new to lighting. Got a ETC 20 channel mixer but I want to use Lightkey. How do I connect to lights using a mac mini m1

Hey.. nice. But how do you control the moving head speed and effects at same time using beat control or beats thru midi?

@tbc_production 11 ай бұрын

We haven't set up any midi controls yet. We only use the modifiers in each button.

The left stage bar light stayed blue during the songs. Shouldn't that light change colors with the other stage bar lights?

@tbc_production 11 ай бұрын

Yes! i realized after it wasn’t programmed within Lightkey with the other bars

Hi do you have an idea how to make a custom effect for each group?

@tbc_production Жыл бұрын

We do! We don't have a video on it right now but if you want to email sprofetto@theblockchurch.org we can hook you up with some ideas!

I would not recommend Lightkey. This software puts on a good show of being simple and easy to use, but the software collapses the moment you bring any real lighting programming to it. An example: The Presets always apply to all fixtures recorded in the preset. Preset are deployed to the stage, not to fixtures. If you need a fixture to do something other than what an active preset is telling it to do, you're hosed. You can't use a preset if even a single fixture needs to break the preset to do something else. Second Example: A fixture can be a part of exactly one group, and after adding a fixture to a group, anytime you select that fixture the whole group gets selected. You can't record groups. You can't organize your fixtures towards multiple purposes in the same show file. Many things like this where the Lightkey developers perilously ignore industry wide standard programming mantras, making it very hard to get anything done in this tool.
