Known Issues

Status badges in the software

Some features carry a WIP badge, a recycle icon or a trash can icon. They are still being worked on, will be replaced by a different feature, or will be removed in a future release.

Planned feature changes

• Simple Scene Control will be replaced by a better way to control scenes.
• Scene step editing will get a property matrix for direct value editing.
• Presets will change. The next version will have different preset types and allow storing presets in scene steps instead of applying their values once.
• A fixture creator is planned. For now custom fixtures are written as JSON, see Create a Custom Fixture.

Masters

• Group masters cannot be given fixtures yet, so only the grand master affects the output.

Timeline

• Master automation
• Renaming audios

Effects

• Standalone effects (Flyout, Sparkle and others)
• Matrix effects

Inputs and outputs

• DMX input is not supported yet.
• USB DMX interfaces are not selectable yet. Art-Net and sACN work.
• MIDI devices do not reconnect on their own. After a disconnect, restart the app or clear and re-pick the input and output device.
• MIDI device definitions cannot be saved or loaded. They live in the kernel config, so moving a show to another computer means copying that file too.

Script View

• Not ideal yet
• I may add another mode later where you can open a PDF document and overlay audio and light cues directly in the document
• Importing PDFs

Other

• Fixtures with multiple light sources do not work properly yet. They may appear as one fixture in the Stageview, and color effects do not work well on them.
• List interfaces such as the timeline and Script View selectors will be improved later to support folders and a more table-like appearance.
• The software is not optimized for touch yet.
• Performance improvements
• Documentation

Roadmap

I do not have a public roadmap yet, as I am still figuring out the best way to share development plans. Updates are posted on Discord.
