SS is a great concept but paying a monthly fee is where I don't agree... although is only 7 dlls It's I don't think is ok. as you say it's a big commitment. we all User should write to SS. I would rather pay one time fee of 500 or 600..
thanks for posting, you make it very clear about this item, one question for you. If I was running a scripted song, can I hook up some fixtures( smoke machine, flame thrower, laser for example) to run independently so I could lunch them when I wanted and it would not effect the scripting?
So clearly midi devices can be used with Engine Lighting. SS have just withheld the midi functionality from Engine Lighting purely to drive the sales of the Control One. That's a lot of cash to drop just to replace hardware I already have, that can do most of what this does.
100% I am thinking to start doing independent reviews. I have had so much stuff that I am starting to feel that even reviewers like Mo are beginning to be more sales rep's than community partners. I AM grateful for them, but moments like this one where they all say "its good just get it, I know you can live without it but...." not just this product but pretty well everything on launch day. sorry for the rant. lol
Great review mojaxx, I'm curious as to whether the control one is locked to using their software only? Or if you could use it as a generic midi device for something such as QLC+? (another dmx control program) and being able to use both universes with other programs as well
Only jut got round to testing this, but in theory yes, that will work. The unit looks dead when Soundswitch isn't active, but it is still sending midi data from the controls - and receiving it for LED feedback. I hooked it up to Traktor to test that.
Sorry to sound stupid here as I’m just getting into controllers and such for my band’s lighting. Will this work on it’s on without programming with the computer software. I’m trying to find the easiest solution. We have about 16 par LED cans, 3 bar strips and 2 movers. Thanks for any responses in advance and don’t poke too much fun at me.
They’re very different propositions really, as this will always need a computer (or Engine OS hardware) whereas the Wolfmix can be used entirely standalone. Hard to really explain more in a comment, but the Wolfmix review will be out within a couple of weeks anyway.
How do I add specific effects (from static looks) on lights on the fly? And is it possible to turn on and off a particular fixture on the fly? Thank you
Guys, the dongle is sold out. It won't come back. I have the feeling that they try to push this Control ONE with that move. There is no other possibility to connect a Denon Player to DMX at the moment.
It definitely will come back. It’s such a great entry point into Soundswitch that they would be INSANE to drop it. Like everything else in 2021, all the stock is stuck on a container somewhere.
@@Mojaxx been trying since September to get one (well actually three) in the states, I got a mail from Soundswitch stating they don't know IF they will ever get them again, and then refunded my order.
micro USB dongle hasn't been available since September, and Soundswitch told me they have no idea if they will ever have them again (I ordered 3 and waited 2 months to find that out)...convienient now that they released a $300 interface which is the only way to get a SoundSwitch lighting interface for Prime. So now I went from $90 investment to $900
There def seems to be a sales agenda here. It took them years to give us midi feedback. A lighting company that can't implement midi lighting feedback? Nope, seems they want us to use their midi controller or cripple the use of others.
I HAVE CONTROL ONE PRIME 4 CAN ANYONE WALK ME THROUGH IM SNAGGING ON SOMETHING I CANT GET VENUE TO SHOW UP ON PRIME LIGHTING AND AOTOSCRIPTS WONT PLAY OUT RIGHT. ANYONE POINT ME TO THE SHORT BUS?
Mojaxx you can sell a bridge in the desert your reviews are always spot on!! Keep on spinning and rocking the LA brim.
Great review. Nice however I'm not sure about that 79 bucks annually
this is a nice idea. i mapped my XP1 but this is off the hook

Thoughts on this VS the Wolfmix W1 which I know you have a review coming? Especially for both in stand-alone?

Looks kool - a little pricey but could be a good investment

Got built into my prime4
Does this work with Gig Bar 2? (Not gig bar move)
Will an rb dmx run through the through mode?
Mowacks stop eating that dozen donuts and pick up a razor!
Is compatible with rekodbox ?

Also, some DJ stores do still have some, it’s worth shopping around. I visited my local store last week and they had four.
@@Mojaxx i got one a few days ago off ebay

This thing sucks because you cant change the gobos on the moving heads.

i bought mine 3 weeks ago from agi pro dj. I got lucky.

Stop watch after hearing the word subscription
I HAVE CONTROL ONE PRIME 4 CAN ANYONE WALK ME THROUGH IM SNAGGING ON SOMETHING I CANT GET VENUE TO SHOW UP ON PRIME LIGHTING AND AOTOSCRIPTS WONT PLAY OUT RIGHT. ANYONE POINT ME TO THE SHORT BUS?
Subscription? No thanks
Damn!
"wizz bang stuff!" ha
dont do subs so no
If you must to pay monthly subscription to use, that suck$!!!!
They give you the option to buy lifetime subscription of the software for $200 i believe. Not cheap but could be worth it for some.
