Use for separate OpenJDK download and install. Install: ~$ sudo dpkg -i lxfreeforjava_圆4.debįor systems with Oracle () Java 1.8. And, it's FREE.Please visit for the current software, LXPlan. The coloring of instrument symbols vis a vis the gel color is gorgeous.Īll in all, a good tool with room to grow, well-suited to smaller projects. A few chair symbols might be handy at times. The layer function works well and there are enough drawing tools to make layers with Acting areas, rough sets, seating plans and so forth.
I'd love to see a GUI means of linking instruments to particular hanging positions-Option + drag or something. One could then duplicate symbols without ever having to navigate away from the symbol info panel in the inspector. No radial arrays, but how often do you find circular grids? Isn't that even an oxymoron? Anyway, arrays and some other drawing commands are executed in an inspector window panel and not in the menus where they could easily have keyboard equivalents. The duplicate array function does not accept negative values or y-axis offsets. This may not be a problem if you always work from templates, always recycle old drawings or simply like the default settings. It would also be great if the user could set default preferences for symbol attributes-which legends are showing, relative positions of the labels, et cetera. I think they should be grouped by default, and one should see a larger indication that you've got the whole symbol selected without having to zoom way in. One ends up accidentally moving only the color label or circuit number. (The Arrow keys without a modifier nudge selected symbols around.) It is hard to select an entire instrument symbol sometimes. Or some other means of navigating around a plot. I just think getting there is harder than it needs to be. Don't get me wrong, LXFree will make absolutely beautiful plots.
The plot side of things is a little messier. A fix might be as simple as reordering a few sections. The documentation is a little old and occasionally references material in later chapters without making it explicitly clear that you haven't read something yet, but we're talking about it anyway. Doing this graphically, in the plot window, works very well but isn't always practical after the first hundred instruments. It's either a deal-breaker or I'm just being stupid. There is even a database field for "Group," though no apparent way to select all the members of say, the Cool Torms group and change the color for every instrument. It may be there somewhere, or perhaps some other means of editing data for groups of symbols meeting some criteria. I couldn't find a way to edit in a list view though, with sortable columns and multiple selections. The database side of things is very good in general. I gladly stick with it confident that its a mighty good choice that will keep evolving, with mine and other users help and feedback, from great to fabulous.Īnd seriously, if you look around, which are the comparable alternatives to the prize of 0 bucks?Ĭurrently at version 1.7.1, the symbol libraries are great-no moving fixtures, but that's okay with me.
LXFREE RUSH MH1 SOFTWARE
However I can tell since Im an old user that the software has evolved greatly and just keeps getting better and better everyday. Setting up devices like moving lights is also a bit of a weak spot I think. Ive never managed to make much sense of it.
LXFREE RUSH MH1 FREE
The part I like the least in this free app is the Symbol Editor and the way symbols and "Keys" are connected. Now anyone who understands the basics of lightdesign can create and edit a lightplot, easily and for free.
LXFREE RUSH MH1 PDF
Sending pdf attachments and a list of requests and questions to touringsites or guesting groups is finally a thing of the past! Its great to be able to communicate editable plots. Of course I also do all my lightplots in LXFree or LXBeams and encourage venues, collegues and others who may have any opinion of value regarding my plans to download this app. Its a strong side of the LXFree project with great potentials. The part I use most is its integration with LXConsole, Qlab MIDI, OSC and Applescript. Im an old Maclux user but since a few years I use only the LXBeams version of LXFree so maybe I shouldnt review the LXFree, but most stuff of any importance is in the free version as well so I guess it´s OK.
A very good app with absolutely marvellous support!
