14
APP INSTRUCTIONS
Addressing Features
Each DMX xture is assigned a unique number so that myDMX GO knows which xture to send the
correct information to.
To address a xture:
1. Tap the xture in the list and look at the Start address number
2. Use the digital display on the actual xture to set the same number.
Refer to the xture manufacturers manual on how to do this. Some xtures use DIP switches instead of a digital display. The correct DIP switches are shown
on the right.
* If you have already set up your xture and it’s not practical to change the DMX address, this can be changed by tapping the Start Address number. Note that the end address is xed because the number of channels a xture uses is xed.
Changing The Order Of The Fixtures
All eects are applied in the order the xtures appear in the list. For example, if you have the myDMX GO color eect chasing between xtures, it will start at xture 1 and end at the last xture in the list. To change the order of xtures, tap and hold a xture and drag it to a dierent position in the list (this will not aect the DMX address of the xture).
15
APP INSTRUCTIONS
Controlling With The Faders
myDMX GO has been designed to control xtures automatically, however you can manually override the value of a xture’s channel. To do this:
1. Select a xture by tapping it in the list.
2. Scroll left or right to nd the fader you would like to control. Tap the desired fader to select.
Once selected, the fader will turn blue.
3. Drag the fader up and down to change the value
• To reset the fader back to automatic mode, tap the reset icon at the top of the fader
16
APP INSTRUCTIONS
Setting Pan/Tilt Limitations
The limitations grid allows you to limit and invert the pan and tilt values of a xture or group of xtures. There are several reasons why this is important:
1. Moving-Head lights can typically pan 360-600 degrees. For myDMX GO’s eects to look good, it’s best that they only pan no more than 180 degrees.
2. Depe
3. The pan or tilt is sometimes inverted, meaning that the beam won’t move in the correct direction
Setting the limitations for your xtures is a simple task that will assist in cleaning up and organizing your light shows. To set up the limitations:
1. Tap the xture group button to the top right of the xtures list.
2. Tap the limitations button.
3. Tap bottom center of the square and move until your lights are pointing at the oor.
4. Tap the top center of the square and move until your lights are pointing at the ceiling.
5. Tap the left center of the square and move until your lights are pointing to the left.
6. Tap the right center of the square and move until your lights are pointing to the right.
7. Tap the middle of the square and move left/right until your lights are centered.
For a Moving Head, the limitations square normally looks like in the image below. For Scanners, limitations are not normally required due to the physical limitations of the mirror. Repeat the above steps for each of your light groups, and then repeat with single xture selections if some xtures are o-center.
nding on how a light is set up (or rigged), the center point is not always in the center of the
stage/dance oor.
compared with the other lights in the project.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Colors
The color eects are situated to the right of the console. 8 eects are available and will be applied to all RGB/RGBW or CMY color mixing lights. Lights with xed colors may also be used with the color eects, but they will not mix in the same way as color mixing xtures.
Choosing an Eect
Tap one of the 8 segments to play an eect across your lights. Once an eect has been chosen, the Fade, Speed, Shift and Size of the eect can be adjusted by tapping any of the 4 buttons in the center. The available options depend on the selected eect. Note: make sure that the xtures are in the correct order because eect results may vary based on xture order.
Setting a color
To set which colors will be used in the eects; tap the color wheel at the bottom right. The color wheel is used to set the colors for the eects, and the segments around the color wheel are used to override the eect and recall static colors on all xtures with xed color wheels. Tap in an empty space in the color wheel to add a color. Drag a color point outside the color wheel to remove it. Up to 6 colors can be selected in the color wheel + 6 static colors with the segments. These are displayed below the color wheel.
Static colors are always xed and are spread across lights with xed color wheels. Change the pattern by tapping the button to the left of the color wheel button. This pattern button is also used with color mixing xtures in the STOP eect.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Moves
Move eects are available to the left of the console and can be applied to any xture that has Pan and Tilt channels. Before applying move eects, it is recommended to set the limitations rst.
Choosing an Eect
As with the color eects, the move eects are triggered by tapping the 8 segment buttons. Each move eect can be adjusted using the 4 options in the center - Fan, Speed, Size and Shift.
Setting the Center Position
The center position of an eect should be set before using the limitations, however the eect can be moved around to ne tune eects. To do this:
1. Tap the center button to the bottom left of the moves area.
2. Drag the point around the grid to adjust the center point of the eect.
• Tapping the reset button on the right puts the center point back in the center of the grid.
The button on the left enables the gyro, which allows you to control the center point by physically moving the iPad (not available on Android).

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Flash FX
The 5 ash eects are in the center of the console and are only active when pressed. This allows you to create quick bursts of eects. If you want to latch the eects on, this can be done by touching a ash eect, dragging outside the button and releasing. The following eects are available from left to right:
1. Smoke - activates a smoke machine.
2. Blackout - switches o all lights.
3. WOW! - creates a build-up of strobe eects synchronized with the BPM.
4. Blinder - directs a powerful bright light to the front.
5. Freeze - pauses the show, freezing the current levels being output.
Special FX
The special eects allow control of Iris, Zoom, Gobo and Prism (if your xtures support this functionality). Tap the dial to enable the eect or select a gobo, then drag around the dial to control the selected eect (e.g. gobo rotation speed, Iris level etc). By default these dials are rotary, but if you would prefer to control these in a linear fashion by moving up and down, this can be set in the myDMX GO settings which is accessible from the iPad settings on iPad, or the menu on Android.
22
APP INSTRUCTIONS
Strobe
Tapping the strobe button will ash the lights at dierent speeds depending on the value of the slider.
Dimmer
The slider on the right controls the brightness of all lights. You can control the brightness of each xture type, and ash the lights by tapping the Subs button.
Presets
The presets allow you to store a snapshot of your current show. There are 50 presets in total with 10 visible at a time. To jump to the previous/next bank of presets, swipe left/right along the bottom of the screen. To store a preset, touch and hold it for 1 second, like with a car stereo! Choose a name for your preset and tap “Save Preset”. Any manual channel values set on the xtures screen will also be saved.
23
APP INSTRUCTIONS
Pulse
Music pulse sync uses the microphone of the tablet to listen to the music. When the volume level jumps over a threshold, the eect will jump to the next section. The threshold is calculated automatically depending on the volume level.
Sync
Sync eects are designed to sync music, either with a BPM (beats per minute) to create a consistent beat-matched eect, or via the music pulse where the eects pause when the music stops.
1. Tap the square button next to Moves or Colors to sync the respective eects with the BPM, a metronome icon will appear.
2. Tap a second time to sync with the pulse, a microphone icon will appear.
3. Tap again to stop the sync, a clock icon will appear.
When in BPM sync mode, the speed control of the eects will change from a slider to a selector allowing you to choose the beat division. For example, if you have the disco eect selected, the 1x will change the color on each beat, the 2x will change the color every 2 beats, and the 1/2x will change the color twice for each beat.
24
APP INSTRUCTIONS
BPM - Tap
Be sure the Color or Move eects are in BPM mode with the metronome icon visible. Once visible, tap the BPM with the TAP button at least 3 times.

25
APP INSTRUCTIONS
MIDI (iPad Only)
The eect buttons, preset buttons, ash buttons and sub master dimmers can be controlled by MIDI. This is a bonus feature and custom mappings are not currently possible. If you have a controller such as an Elation or Behringer controller, you can normally modify the commands the controller sends (refer to the respective user manuals for further info). To control myDMX GO via MIDI, you’ll need a Lightning to USB adapter.
The MIDI mappings are as follows: Color Eects 1-8: Note 40-47 Move Eects 1-8: Note 48-55 Presets 1-8: Note 39-32 Presets 9-16: Note 31-24 Presets 17-24: Note 23-16 Presets 25-32: Note 15-8 Presets 33-40: Note 7-0 Sub master dimmers 1-8: CC 48-55 Sub ash buttons 1-8: Note 64-71 Master dimmer: CC 56 Strobe button: Note 56 Flash buttons 1-5: Note 58-62 TAP button: Note 63
