release 4.2.19

release 4.2.19

Gil has created a new effect called "DMX".
Dan has enhanced importing in superstar sequences.

Gil's new effect "DMX" will allow people to set values for DMX channels using sliders from 0-255 instead of 0-100% as the ON command currently does.

I believe his effect allows up to 12 DMX channels to be driven.
I have included a snapshot of the effect. Maybe Gil would explain the effect  in more detail. This effect would be used to drive things like Madrix effects, remote controlled lights, any other DMX device where you need precise settings.

Thanks to Dan and Gil for this release.

PS: Gil figured out how to link this latest release , we were getting out of memory during linking. Thanks Gil!
