“Hello World” 
I know this is probably a stupid question here. But I’m not sure if something is broken or incompatible in my DMX setup. Is there a function with which one can check the VErbindung on the part of VSL Live to the DMX controller (All lamps on 100% etc.)? I have a USB DMX adapter from ENTTEC (Open DMX USB Interface 512 CH) including adapter cable from 5 pole to 3 pole. I have NoName STrahler, but which work on a normal DMX controller. The controller is recognized, so far I’ve come Please for help. Thank you and greetings Jens
Hi,
Here we go
. Open the TRACKS module and add a DMX Track to it.
. Open the Inspector of the track
. For Input select “DMX Mixer In”
. For Output select “DMX USB”
. Activate the Monitor Button of the DMX Track
. Open the DMX module. Every change of a DMX channel will be send to the DMX Track and to your DMX USB Interface.
Does it work?

Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, all this does not bring the hoped for success. Here’s what I did: Created a DMX track and set the DMX mixer as input and my USB DMX controller as output. Now when I record something, the events also appear in the track (when I use the DMX mixer). It also shows me a deflection on the CPU bar at the bottom left. If I then play the track, then the position indicator stops briefly and the CPU bar goes up. At the lamps themselves, however, nothing moves. However, something seems to arrive, because my terminator has an indicator light at the last lamp, if a signal comes through. I asked again. What is the monitor button (I see there only a microphone and a record button) 
Many greetings Jens
We will check this in detail, thanks. Your description of CPU activity hints to a problem wit processing DMX data. Thanks for repprting!
We found the problem, will be fixed next version (very soon).

Hi there Thanks for the quick fix regarding the “CPU clipping”. But I still can’t get the lamps or the interface to work. I have really tried everything and I am desperate.
Could it be that the Enttec Open DMX USB interface used is not properly recognized or supported by the software?
Thanks for an answer
Jens
After the Update to 1.0.41.600 the Lamps are running. But some Time its hangs/Lags a little bit.
Hello,
Thank you for the post. Would you please send the urls to your adapter cable from 5 pole to 3 pole.and NoName STrahler. For a live performance setup, in addition to VST Pro 2 and an Enttec DMX Pro, what else would I need to integrate lighting control into my show? I’m working with a budget of around $1,000. Thank you very much in adnvace.
…be patient to draw 
Regarding patch cable 3 to 5 pin and vica versa it’s not a big deal… as (unfortunately) the pin 4-5 was intended for redundancy, etc… so basically just cut your 5 pole connector and solder an XLR… but you will find such patch cable on thomann.de too
Thank you! I would appreciate a clear answer to my question above. For reference, I am based in the USA.
please specify the question then, what are you still missing or want to know?
-Do you already have the Enttec DMX Pro? (I might have another suggestion)
-What connectors do your lights has?
I currently have VST Live 2 and an Enttec DMX Pro, along with an Moving Head Light that features a female 3-pin connector. However, I’m open to purchasing any additional equipment that would enhance my setup. What other pieces of hardware do I need to purchase to complete my setup, please?
As a complete newbie, I would greatly appreciate your insights. I believe your response could be beneficial for many others like me!
Hi @Chikitin , I’m using ArtNet node instead of USB device, I like it’s versability but Enttec Pro will work good also. But e.g. my I could pick ArtNet node with 3pin output, therefore no 5to3 ping adapter needed.
But speaking seriously, you can cut your cable at the 5pin end and solder a 3 pin XLR, there is no additional component inside. If you can’t solder for your own, then just google one 3to5 or 5to3 DMX adapter cable and that’s it.
It is up to you to draw one fixture in one track or all your fixtures in one track. Maybe better to see, draw, edit fixture to fixture / track by track.
First get all your tracks tempo ready (e.g. bpm, signature, changes, etc…).
Then start drawing your DMX tracks afterwards.
Thank you so much:) I can solder it myself. I will give it a shot:)

pay attention which end to cut and buying male / female 3pol XLR. Sicher was sicher google for the DMX pinouts. But I already created 5 pin to 3 pin and 3 pin to RJ45 connectors. Easy peasy
