Light Rider lets you control your DMX lights without needing to program anything. Choose from over 15,000 lighting fixtures and once added, they will bounce, chase, ride, sparkle and perform a light show like you’ve never seen before! Built on over 25 years of DMX lighting control experience, Light Rider finally puts a great light show into the hands of a working DJ, who might not have the time to spend hours programming scenes before a show. Carefully crafted by Light Rider’s developers and DJs - Move FX are on the left, Color FX on the right, Flash FX in the middle and presets along the bottom. Ride your FX live with the speed, fade, fan, size and shift controls. Sync with the music using Beat Tap and audio Pulse analysis Light Rider supports up to 4 DMX universes (2048 channels) with iPad via WiFi. To connect the app with your lights, you can use: -Any Nicolaudie Group Ethernet - DMX interface (e.g. Sunlite Suite2-FC, Daslight DVC4-GZM) -Any Art-Net device (In-App purchase) -Our brand new Light Rider Wi-Fi DMX interface

Master dimmer shouldn’t be part of the preset. You should be able to dim the lights for a show and be able to carry that level of brightness over to other presets. Also, we should have a few more options for automation. For example, we should be able to set the order of the automation and speed of which things change. Also, it would be great to be able to have a fade between presents.

Hello! It is actually possible to exclude the Main and/or Sub dimmers from the Preset. When saving a Preset, you see 2 options to enable/disabled 'Main dimmer' and 'Sub dimmers'- if you disable these, the Main dimmer will no longer be a stored within the Preset. The order for effects can be set within the Fixtures page- the FX engines will run through each fixture from top-to-bottom. Simply press and hold, then drag to rearrange your fixture order. The speed of effects can be set within the Speed option (seen in the centre of the Move and Colour FX engine). If you would like to discuss further or provide us with some further suggestions- please do feel free to raise a ticket with us at store.lightrider.com/support :)

Essentially useless for Musicians / Sound Engineers who also do lighting.

The features in this app are pretty good but I bought this and My DMX Go with the expectation I could mix and do lighting from the same iPad but that simply isn’t possible. Every time I switch over to any over app the lights pause mid scene or preset. This app would be perfect if I could use it while I mixed but sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Hello! Thanks for checking out Light Rider. Unfortunately, it is not possible for Light Rider to send DMX data running in the background for longer than 10 minutes. However up until the 10 minute mark, it should still run as expected- so there may be an issue there. Perhaps if you could raise a ticket at help.lightrider.com, we could look further into this for you?
