Easy Show Compatibility

[finer500]

Hi

I am new to this forum as well as the sunlite suite so bare with me. I have been using the software to program a light show synced with music, as you are all aware, easy show is perfect for this but there's a problem. The first class controller is out of my budget for the show which means I won't be able to use easy show with my fixtures, correct? (I'm assuming that the cheeper controls just won't respond when attempting to use easy show.)

If this is a fact, does anyone know of anyways around this, possible using easy time or something like that to sync with music? As of now, I can't seem to find any practical solution that is cost effective.

Again, pardon my ignorant question, and thanks in advance.

If you try to use EasyShow without an FC connected it will not work.

You could:
-get a Suite2 BC or Suite2 EC
-play your music on a device that outputs Midi Time Code(if you dont have one then get some software which does and get a virtual midi cable software package)
-link the midi timecode to a cycle timeline
