American DJ Supply DMX Controller DMXOPERATOR PRO Stage Light Accessory

Immediate noticed the difference in quality when receiving this controller. It is worth the extra money to buy this over the cheaper $60 controllers available on Amazon from unknown brands.The sliders are all much tighter / higher quality, same goes with the buttons. The joystick is the only part that feels a little cheap (light plastic), but it seems to have a nice spring back to it which is good.A very nice touch is that the power adapter and power input on the controller have a small “puzzle piece” design that protects the actual power adapter (metal pin) from being damaged or bent while plugged in. This is something that was started to short out and break on my cheap controller, so the fact that this one is protected from that problem is a HUGE plus to me!I also am very pleased with the fog machine hookup, as that is working perfectly. It shows the heating / ready status of the connected fog machine through the built in LED indicator lights, and it triggers the machine on command as intended. All you need to buy to connect a fog machine is a 5 pin DIN (MIDI) cable of whatever length you need based on how far away the fog machine needs to be from you. The only fog machine that is mentioned as being compatible with this controller is the ADJ VF1300. This is the fog machine I purchased, and it is a really great 1100W fog machine.Be aware that this controller has the blue design shown when you scroll down to product information, and the main product image you first see is NOT what you will receive (the all black version). I like the blue color, it makes things easier to read, but it’s worth mentioning so no one else is surprised when they get theirs.Overall 5 stars so far, and I would highly recommend this DMX controller. With fog machine controls built in, as well as the programmable joystick, and high quality build, this is a unique controller worth serious consideration.

As the title states... Other than that is does what it says. Channels are limited to 16 per fixture, so you have to dumb-down some of them. Only 12 fixture addresses can be run. The joystick is really finicky, better off using sliders for your moving head or midi with soundswitch to set up hotkeys for certain spot positions. Good quality build, though.

I wish I had bought this first instead of going cheap with the generic Chinese controllers!!! The sound activation works well at different volumes! That was VERY impressive to me. I love having the mono RCA input as well, it works pretty good if you use a line mixer to control the input volume. The unit also has midi control. I can use midi to trigger scenes using a keyboard controller and it can be controlled from sequencers like Ableton live. It has 12 chases and 384 channels with a pan tilt joystick... at 150USD? For what this thing does, its a good deal. It works well. I have experimented with the "off brands". Dont waste your time with those if you want to seriously program your lights and have them look good when they playback via sound activation!

My board came with a defective tapsync button. This makes the board completely useless to me. Also, even if the tapsync worked properly, as soon as you move the fade the sync is reset.Another problem for me is the fact that you cannot play multiple chases at the same time. If there is a way to do this, I can’t figure it out since there are no instructions that came with the board.When selecting a chase it causes my rotating lights to swivel a couple times before resting on the chase even if the scene I have it on is the first scene of the chase. Also, after selecting the chase (with auto off), it goes to the first scene(lights turn on). This is a major problem if you want to queue up a chase but not actually play it until you press auto on.I also have the CO-Z 192 that was half the price and works a heck of a lot better. It has none of the issues that I mentioned above.

I bought this SPECIFICALLY to be able to program a couple of moving head lights I bought. My Obey40 would PROGRAM the light position, and color, but wouldn't REMEMBER the position, only the color. Can't explain it.This board does what I want. I bought it for the joystick, but it seems so laggy, I am not using the joystick. it's faster to use the sliders. The moving head lights are silly to program, as movement is on page one, colors START on page one, shift to page two for the rest of the color controls. But it works. Once I wrapped my brain around the programming, I was able to program scenes quite rapidly.And the moving head lights point where I tell them to! Miracle of miracles. Pray to the electronic gods and give thanks!I would recommend this board.

Great light mixer

Love that this product has many features and does not break the bank! Good bang for buck Wishing it had a wireless connection but that's fine because I found a work around.

I’ve never done lights for a show, and had less than a week to figure out how to control 10 LED light fixtures and a fog machine for a show with several acts. I’ll admit that I’ve always been confused and a little intimidated by this, as I am more of a sound guy. But, this was really easy to learn and configure. It only took a couple of days to learn to set up and program the scenes and chases. The show went well and I was running sound, lights and cameras all myself.THIS CONTROLLER IS A KEEPER
