After setting up all accessing the scene is great But if you have a lot of channels and needed to make a change on a particular channel it may be hard to find because you will have to scroll through many pages and all fader looks the same If the text label on top of the fader is bigger or a large translucent text under fixtures faders would help finding channel with ease             App is good but can t compare to hardware val.zs

Just paid 99 for this app only to find out that it crashes on the scenes tab The rest of the app seems ok but this is unacceptable Even most free apps don t crash Also the lighting fixture library is really old so you have to make your own fixtures I would definitely not recommend this software especially considering the price     Crashes on Scenes Tab Chittybanger

I ve been using Luminair since near the beginning Having to purchase the new version was worth it More stable and several workflow and GUI improvements                     Old vs new Killderek

Makes my lighting life easier Continued development Love it                     Makes my lighting life easier Tinmass

For me a lighting director at a small children s theater Luminair was a breath of fresh air I had used an old lighting console for a few years and quickly became frustrated with all the mode shifting What does this fader do That s the green channel for the downstage side light Oops Wrong I m shifted into Bank 2 so that s the center left front wash Argh Luminair provides a clear intuitive interface where I can label everything and even group fixtures in ways that make sense to me Need to change the order of the faders to be more convenient Easily done Need to move an entire fixture to the top of the fader layout without upsetting its channels No problem These things may seem small but when you re dealing with a very full universe of conventional lights smart lights media players remote props etc it is essential Of late I really appreciate the live effects Synthe FX has been adding Flickering lanterns pulsing fireplaces lightning strikes and magical transformations are just a few of the things I ve been able to achieve and with very little configuration Don t get me wrong it takes time to set up but Luminair makes the work as fluid as possible I m excited to use the new fire effect I practically run the whole theater s equipment from a 12 9 iPad Pro and it wouldn t be possible without Luminair                     In a class all its own Cheetah Heels

80 was a steep price compared to the lack of ease of use and awkward GUI But now that I m past the learning curve it is a very useful app And it s competitors haven t got anything close So 3 5                 Three Stars UmenoHana

App is really good so far Been using for stage lighting for local bands Makes it really nice that I can move around and mingle while running lights Really easy to use once you get over the initial roadblocks of setting it up Every time I do a show I find something new and exciting Only thing I have found is that the feature that goes with the mic doesn t really work that well as it really doesn t matter what the sensitivity is it still does the same stuff Not sure if that is an issue with my tablet or the software Other than that it is a great program and well worth the money spent                     Very good app Hgdfhugs

I am using luminaire on an iPad Air with a DMXKing Artnet device Getting it going was simple and easy The good with the app Is it is great to look at It allows me to create scenes much more quickly than my old school rack mount controller from Chauvet I love how once scenes are created how they are controlled You can put labels on them pictures icons the works Also with moving heads I love how I can create complex movements It s not just a to b Create ovals oscillating patterns circles you name it Really great Created a color is super easy as well There are issues however some more serious that I have had to figure out how to work around 1 The program often crashes This typically happens while making new scenes Once it crashes whatever you are doing will make it crash again The solution seems to be delete the last scene and start over I had made 15 new scenes at one point and it crashed When I reopened my scenes were gone 2 It is a bit cumbersome to navigate specific setting that one often uses When editing a fixture on a scene the right hand side of the screen contains the settings You have to navigate sub menus etc to reach what you want Then you have to close it to move on Would be great if there were more setting buttons on the main interface and if the settings screen on the right could just stay open Click on another fixture and those settings update to the selected item Some settings I cannot even find Maybe they don t exist 3 Lag There seems to be some lag between when you press a scene and when it goes into effect For example if you make something strobe using an fx on a dimmer fader while you can make a strobe setting in the program it is only able to relay the information so far to the light So basically you cannot produce a strobe this way Or a slow flashing 4 Timing Making this thing go with your show is difficult I like to use a drum or tap function to program the bpm of the current track Two problems When you tap that sets the bpm but your tapping beat does not translate to making the scenes change on that beat It takes a second to record your tempo and as a result is off beat Also I like to do transitions every other beat So I will tap o every other beat The program does not allow for a bpm that slow Overall I am glad I switched to this product I look forward to using it on the road but buyer beware It s far from perfect             Better than what I used before but many bugs Jjoseph1903

One of our favorite lighting programs                     Love this program Blast pro

With skypanels and Litegear s on film shoot could make 200 better ability                     Make my LEDs 200 better Jenlighting

Easy to use and powerful Regular updates Using it with 25 fixtures had a board that could handle 8 16 fixtures and decided to give a software based option a try Success Support is very responsive                 Great DMX app Mr tyuiop

We Mix Masterz have A lot of lights in this app can just run in the way we would like for them to be ran since this app and out 2011 we been learning more more in every update you guys given us more in I like that                     MixMasterz MIXMASTERZ

We have over 50 light that needs to be controlled with reliable console First started with regular console and quickly found out that we need better flexibly in programming scenes This app is exactly what we needed plus many more advanced features that we don t use yet With Redpark Ethernet cable it s very reliable no drops or delayed signal The only thing I wish for is to have multi device control by having server PC Mac do all the hard work and send out UDP packets so devices be truly wireless and all be on the same page Would love to have this functionally available as in app purchace Thanks for the great app                     Best App Paul_2016

This is a true replacement for a full lighting console Save yourself thousands of dollars and get an incredible highly functional alternative with Luminaire                     Nothing else like it The Branch Church

That old Mac rave applies perfectly to Luminair a sophisticated lighting controller that can easily do things that a traditional and expensive lighting board can t do while still offering a simple and visual enough interface that even a total newbie could run an awesome show once the system is set up Plus it s wireless and allows you to mix lights from anywhere It s actually a lot more powerful than it looked when we noticed it in the App Store or researched it online Once installed Luminair really is an artistic instrument that allows you to continually develop the complexity richness and impact of your lighting without ever itself getting more complex For background we needed to build a lighting system from nothing with a very small budget We expected to need to pay a couple thousand for a light board but decided to try Luminair almost as a fill in until we learned enough about the venue to make a good controller decision We are never going to buy a board We have a combination of LED instruments and traditional Source Fours and although we had some lighting experience we had never set up a DMX system and as mentioned in other reviews that part was very challenging There are no doubt some people who will buy Luminair and then dismiss it because of DMX issues Issues included bonehead wrong addresses a brand new but faulty wireless router router placement and even the sequence of powering thing up In our case we kept plugging along until we figured everything out and at that point everything became rock solid and pretty exhilarating One very powerful feature is the ability to create thumbnails for each scene which means that literally anyone off the street could be handed an iPad and do a fairly professional looking light show with little or no training In the two months since we built our system we ve had two very accomplished lighting techs come into our auditorium and both responded that they d heard of Luminair but never used it and seeing the iPad can I give it a try Both were amazed with the expressiveness and impressiveness of our system and with its simplicity They both asked a few questions about editing and transition times etc and then both started creating some great looks we hadn t thought of Things we haven t yet got to include integrating movers into our looks although we ve borrowed some instruments and they are easily programmed Here are some things we ve learned that weren t immediately evident from the App Store and website 1 the videos don t do Luminair justice 2 although it s probably awesome as an architectural lighting controller it is not designed solely for that kind of slow moving and static implementation 3 there is usually a work around to achieve almost anything For example bumping is not supported but you can achieve a similar effect by reducing scene transition times to zero Besides day to day use we ve put on five produced shows and are getting very positive and unsolicited feedback about the awesome lighting We re extremely pleased with Luminair and are happy to highly recommend it                     Insanely Great Mr tyuiop

This is an excellent solution for portable lighting control when a console would be overkill or you need the convenience of an iDevice Plenty of flexibility with fixture profiles and a super responsive and helpful developer The price seems steep but the quality shows                     Perfect balance between portability and function tonmanprod

I ve been a Luminair user since the beginning I have tested every other DMX control app software on the market and nothing even comes close to the power of Luminair I have used Luminair for film television and in night clubs it has always worked reliably and with ease This new version definitely makes control of moving heads a breeze which is we re past versions lacked a bit I truly can t say enough good things about Luminair and Synthe FX                     Best DMX control app on the market Pro Dimmer Op

I m a sound guy and didn t care to learn a whole lot about running a light show but still need to provide lights with my service This app has allowed me to run an awesome show with my modest DMX lights 8 ADJ LED pars 2 geysers If you re looking for an incredibly easy way to run a wireless light show this is the only option to date Only gripe is setting up groups and lack of in depth manual Still not sure how to setup groups that actually work the way I think they should Overall it s still worth the money until there s some competition I m surprised there isn t any Especially with the rising popularity of more affordable LED DMX lights                 Wireless light show with ease NockTunes

I purchased luminair along with an ENTTEC Ethernet to DMX converter and a high power netgear router to use exclusively with my lighting system I already have a wifi network on stage for IEM control but elected to keep things separate but you could use the same router if you choose I created the proper profile for the 64 LED par cans I use on stage I use them in an 8x8 config so I had 8 instances of the profile on 8 different DMX channels along with 8 Martin moving head fixtures all separate I had luminair and the other devices needed to make it work up and running in an hour While it took a considerable amount of time to program a show into a completely new lighting control system I had used a medium size hog console up until this point but simplified my system and wanted the freedom to have my lighting engineer go wireless a few things 1 synthe fx the manufacturer of luminair answered my pre purchase questions quickly and with the straight ahead answers I needed to decide if this would work with me 2 I was able to program everything I needed all of my par lights to do at home without first trying it in real time worked exactly as expected as soon as hooked up 3 getting used to programming the moving head fixtures took a little longer but after 6 hours I had a short version of my show programmed enough to use it on the second night of deployment I ve been very happy with the software so far for the price it is extremely full featured and for the price of the program the converter an inexpensive iPad and a wifi router you couldn t touch a comparable hardware lighting console plus now my lighting engineer can stand anywhere in the room view the stage as the audience sees it and check for shadows and proper position of each fixture A few functions are a bit counter intuitive I would prefer my master and blackout controls always on screen not hidden under a separate button press since that something I often need to grab quickly saving scenes can also not exactly work how you d expect so be sure to familiarize yourself with exactly how to save overwrite your programs and it s important to understand how to select colors properly but once you know how the software works that ll be second nature Only when you first start using might a few things not work as straightforward as you d expect just as an aside it does take a little bit of technical know how to get everything talking you need to make sure luminair is speaking the correct language the ENTTEC device is on the correct IP address and speaking the selected language in luminair and your router is comfortable just receiving and sending only LAN data since you won t have anything plugged into the WAN port like routers expect to see in normal operation and is set with the correct IP group as well But once everything is on the same IP group i e 192 168 1 xxx and seeing each other be sure to use the included program for properly set the ENTTEC device you ll be good to go once everything is talking HAVE FUN with everything you can do that would take forever on many smaller to medium size consoles And don t forget to download the luminair manual from their website it s available before purchase so you can decide if it s right for you                     An excellent lighting control package RhodesChroma

I love this app very very easy to use makes my lightshow look fantastic highly recommended and the developers willing to help anytime A                     Luminair 3 Dvj Lex

I am miffed I had to pay full price for an upgrade for something I use twice a year Plus Luminar missed the point that most modern fixtures use 6 color LEDs version 2 missed it over three             Missing UV Purple roissy1

I have a full DMX system set up for my church youth department s drama club and this is Amazing To be able to sit in the audience and control the spots as they walk across the stage is unbelievable This update though expensive to replace the prior software on my iPad and my iPhone looks like it will answer the lack of syncing between platforms The iWatch is a bit too far in my oppinion but that may be iWatch envy talking Other then the occasional issues with the iCloud syncing this app has worked very well Hoping the update is worth the double dipping that is needed to update my equipment                     Most amazing lighting tool EVER FregGritz
